The summer before last, I discovered the EV webboard. I went as slim4895, and found myself biking to the library to check the board literally 2 to 3 times a day. The library was a half hour away.
I knew I had a problem when the librarian had to put up a sign limiting people to one thirty minute internet session a day. I finally stopped going to the boards and have since recovered completly.
How do you know if you're addicted to the EV Webboard?
Whenever you get into an argument with someone, your hand reaches for the reply button.
You say your user name and password in your sleep.
Visions of Hector in a Rapier lull you to sleep.
You turn your head sideways every time you smile at someone.
Be careful, and have good EV mental health!

I'd say anyone over 3000 would have a hard time denying some form of addiction, Pikeman, except maybe moki.

Ah. I'd heard of the deal where he added some other guys' posts to his own, I'd just assumed he had added less than 10,000.

Andrew wouldn't have that many posts. He's too busy making and selling the reasons for our continued existance here.
Oh.... My.... God.... I'm addicted!
No, seriously. Here are my semptoms: I actually thought in my mind to hit the reply button when my mom asked me if I had homework. It'd happened a few times. I even try to type the air to death. I type way to fast and it has become too fluant.
I also dreamed I was in a Rebel Dreadnaught (from Adam's Shipyard) and met my girlfriend on board. (My g/f right now.)

Someone tried to outpost him, and when they did, they started bragging about it (if I remember my webboard lore), and Andrew reset their post count and added 10,000 to his to ward off people trying to beat him.

That someone would be OF. OF actually has over 14,000 posts if you count the two times his count has been reset... if I recall correctly.

Well, I tried not to mention the name. Oh, well.
It was reset twice? I only recall him ever talking about when he got to 2200, moki reset his post count because he was bragging about it. Of course, maybe I just missed the second reset. Hrm. AK00000LA!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I have 500 or 800 others from other accounts... and I have no idea how many I had on the EV and EVO board from the (url="http://"http://www.escapevelocity.com")www.escapevelocity.com(/url) days.
I never really cared about post count.... so all mine are legit, chopped full of wholesome conservative values and liberal/clinton/democrat bashing

I cared because people like Capatain Skyblade made having a high post count rather unsavory, so I requested it to be dropped.
And of course I've probably blasted through about 100 of my posts since then answering crap about "Why's your post count negative...duuuurrrrrr"
When it's positive again are you gonna ask andrew to set it back again?
