When you are very tempted to stay below 1k posts just for the hell of it. I think I'm sitting at less than 5 posts per year I've had this user account. By all means, please check my math. I ain't too bright.

When you can't help but mindlessly click to the site even though you know there's nothing new.

Wait for class to be over? Hah! Comp Sci, baby! Had a window for the site open as soon as I logged in.

This was in the "Before-time", when internet usage wasn't strictly monitored for students. Even then, Proxy blockers LOL

My account predates this version of the website, so technically I'm older than the forums. Shamefully, it is NOT a "Day 1" account, as it was created 48 days after launch.
