... you have trouble at other forums with their respective codes (I always bold in other forums with < b > altough it doesn't work there) and use Apolyton smiley codes there. Many forums could use a : cute : smiley.

... you keep writing smiley codes that won't work in chat ( : angry : , : eek : etc.), and when you read them, you see the smiley ( ), not the code (like reading the code of the Matrix and seeing what's going on, )

You use your online name for testing purposes in software development. And then do the final presentation of your software logged in as Skanky Burns, which of course is written in huge letters on the screen.

Skipping threads means you don't have enough time at Apolyton.

...when your girlfriend tells you of the singer James, and the first thing you think of is Sagacious Dolphin (who promotes him whenever possible, at least IMHO).

I actually remembered you for a brief moment, mainly because I read a thread you had written in and you have my name in your sig.
