I hear you on this one. I know people in real life, that I swear are on here when I read certain threads. You know your an ATSer when you think 'We need a secret handshake' for when we run across one another in real life.

Please not another one!

There is already a thread on that very subject.

I know I made some inane suggestions

You know you are a ATS'er when you turn into a Jr. Mod.

ROFL! The un-official/official Jr. Mod Squad~

When you scroll right on past certain avatars because you already know that you don't adhere to that user's dialect of gibberish. You don't even have to see the name any more.

Or when you're so certain someone is courting banning that once in a while you look them up to find out whether it has happened yet. And you're right about it.

Well I can honestly say I haven't gotten to that point yet with threaders and knowing there gibberish.... There's a lot of different gibberish for any given subject... But If I could add~

When that certain threader you can do without reading posts froms changes there avatar and you unknowingly read something and midway through your like "SOB!" again!

You know youre an ATSer when you loose sleep because youre on ATS keeping track of some doomsday warning waiting to see if it happens that night.

The preverbial doom porn scenerio! I have been a victim of your statement.... To be met by a /sigh of relief and less paranoia each time.

You know you're an ATS'er when most of your conversations in real life start with: There's this site that I go to, it's called ATS, and...

You know your an ATSer, when you read a really good e-mail from a friend and the first thing you do after, is look at the upper left corner so you can star it.

I love it! You guys/gals are cracking me up~ Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

When your Fiance' asks you if the DDOS attack is over yet~

Not sure if that's a good thing or she was trying to say get away from me for a bit

Agreed! I've been wronged by this phenomenon more than once. However, I will say that there have been times when this occurred, and midway through the post I'm thinking "this sounds like a bunch of hoo-haa ________ would say" and I scroll to look at the name and lo and behold, it's them! But some users need their avatars locked so I don't get stuck in another maelstrom of their posts. Right now, when I open a new thread I take a quick scroll down it to look for a particular avatar. If I see this user's avatar three times or more, I assume they've successfully derailed another thread so I keep moving on. Luckily, the avatar sticks out. I'll totally get hosed when they change it.

you realize that the threaders after you didn't take time to read your response because there posts were already discussed prior to them putting a quick one liner down and hitting enter.

You know you're an ATS'er when the name 'Springer' automatically reminds you of this guy:



Instead of this guy:

A set of old encyclopedias pre WWII is helpful too because it will tell you how to make soap and basic stuff like that. Without the internet it will be helpful if someone has some old encyclopedias in the house.

You know you're an ATSer when you instantly know that some offending OP still lives at home with his parents and only just started driving.

Or

You want to shake the ones who say its true because they said it in the Matrix.

Or

maybe that just makes us the old ones. LOL.

You see an old Episode of Third rock from the Sun and you think to yourself. Oh look its that show with Phage in it.

.... Your spouse comes home mad as hell saying you won't believe what I found out today, get about 3 words into their thought before you finish it and add to the information. Some days it is hard to tell if this frustrates him or not, but I know on those days we will be getting some good conversation time in.

You know you're an ATS'er when you see this cartoon character




and immediately think,



Beezzer!

was having my morning coffee today..

I had to let the dogs out to pee..

I saw a bunny run across my yard..

I shouted "hey" " It's Beezer"..

My wife was like "what?

I was like er ..oh..der..nevermind...
