Well, I might. But I've never seen that combination outside Apolyton, so I wouldn't know (who would use such a weird combo anyway?

)

Immortal Wombat corperation.

Immortal Wombat · April 12, 2002, 20:16

I'm working on that. But I need something to sell

Shadowstrike · April 12, 2002, 20:19

Why little shinny daggers and crowns and furry wonbats of course!

Immortal Wombat · April 12, 2002, 20:53

Of course!

... you have to think in order not to put your user name on forms that ask for "Name"

Just hover over the "profile" button on one of your posts.

Skanky Burns · April 13, 2002, 19:55

...you post just to try lil features like the one Chowlett mentioned.
Even if you do already know your own id

Grrr · April 13, 2002, 20:35

You become a prince or higher.

ixnay · April 13, 2002, 20:53

...you consider that reaching a nice round number of posts is a major milestone...hey, look at that, my 900th post...what a coincidence

Deornwulf · April 15, 2002, 12:44

Your major goal in life is to increase in rank without putting up mindless posts such as drivel about you know when you spend too much time on Apolyton.........whoops

ixnay · April 15, 2002, 13:10

...you start having withdrawal symptoms when the site goes down over the weekend.

And than no idea what you could do instead.

You got high speed internet access just to surf faster at Apolyton.

You got a flat rate to reduce your online cost.

You have an email address like this: apolytonming@hotmail.com

You look in the history, and all you see is APOLYTON.

Of course I still have about 370 POSTS to go for my custom avatar!

..... when you meet a fellow apolytoner in a dream

ColdWizard · April 16, 2002, 13:04

... you'd like to use the quick reply, but you habitually use the post reply button instead

... you've given up gaming to concentrate on posting

... you use quick reply exclusively because you've long since memorized all the vB and smilie codes

... you're working on "A Complete List of Typographical and Grammatical Errors on Apolyton (version 4.6.1)", which you've done all by yourself, to send to MarkG and DanQ

Shadowstrike · April 16, 2002, 18:47

Chowlett, that almost happened to me once... hehe.... Luckily I asked for a spare copy in advance, just in case I would make that error.

Yes! I have a neat custom avatar lined up that I can't wait to use! Still a long way off for me, though.

Grrr · April 17, 2002, 00:04

Same here.

nää! I think meeting fellow abolytoners in a dream is worse.
in real life you can choose do you meet then or not, but not
in a dream.

Grrr · April 19, 2002, 05:12

Yeah you can control yuor dream. Get someone to throw a glass of water over your face when you show extreme pleasure whilst asleep

Andemagne · April 23, 2002, 20:30

..you use two browsers at the same time to surf Apolyton.

Skanky Burns · April 23, 2002, 20:56

...you discover the down arrows on the start bar, purely by opening *many* different threads on Apolyton all at the same time...

steelehc · April 23, 2002, 22:54

You can remember the entirety of this one single thread, which has been active for almost 3 months.

Grrr · April 24, 2002, 15:33

You are surfing apolyton 500km from home

Zealot · April 24, 2002, 20:47

...Apolyton goes down and then you realise that everything else in the Internet is boring and dull.

...you get over 100 Private Messages each year.

...you [try to] use Apolyton's smilies' vBB code in other forums.

...something inside you make yourself to have the will to keep posting, despite having a custom avatar already!

...you get a fellow Apolytoner that is willing to use his own car, with his own fuel, to visit you in your own house, to give you a free CD with Civ 3 before it's released in your country, all free of charge!

I probably get 100 Private Messages every 3-4 months (and that's just incoming PMs, it's twice that much if outgoing also counts)

How about ICQ, email and chat?

I even put them in a Word document for my uni once
