    You know you've spent too much time on the forum when...

    You know you've spent too much time on the Ceroc Scotland forum when:

    • You refer to it in the definitive article ("so I was reading the forum this weekend").
    • You no longer need to look at the smilies to use them you just type the codes for them in .
    • You often refer to people you know in real life by their forum names.
    • When people are talking about dancing and you begin your points with "I was reading a thread about this and...".
    • You sometimes find yourself asking people, at the end of a dance, "are you on the forum?".
    • When your average daily post count is higher than the GNP of some countries.
    • When you can read what stewart38 has written and understand it .
    • You write lists about knowing when you are spending too much time on the forum .

    I'm sure people can think of others.

    Worse is when you knew their real name, but forget it, and can only remember their forum name

    [[*]You write lists about knowing when you are spending too much time on the forum .[/LIST]

    You read posts and bother to reply to people writiing lists and wondering whether they are spending to much time on the forum.

    Damn it! Moderator? Of = on or off for comic effect. Actually, mine was fine. Did someone mess with the subject line (DJ maybe)? Either that or someone fixed it for me. If so; thanks .

    When you create this thread.

    When you have seen this thread before many times in different forms.

    Absolutely. I've been dancing once this year...the forum is my only link to the dance world most of the time. I know...it's really sad.

    When you find out we've had an earthquake in England, only because someone wrote about it on the forum

    That's so true. The amount of times I've found out about current affairs from people talking about it on the forum is a bit worrying.

    I don't even bother reading the news now... I just log onto the forum, I know anything I'd find interesting would have been flagged up on there by 11am...

    ...Except red bananas... why has no-one mentioned Red bananas yet?!
