(or you have been playing CB too long when...:
... You can't see a list of everyone's names in a room when you enter a room
... You keep writing Bot Check answers when entering store
... You keep checking stores every minute to see if anything new is in
... You wonder why when you fight someone there is no toggle box to view exactly how the fight went
... You hate all dwarves because they keep stealing whatever you're working on and throwing water on it

... You remember Math bot checks
... You remember the time before /\88/\ & Todd being merged
... You remember FoD
... You remember a time when Lochs were ultra valuable at $1mill and EC's were given away (or if someone sold one, it'd get like 5-10k)
... You remember PK, ProteusBoy etc
... You can help new (sub)admins with their job without having ever been one (or even an op)
... you remember a time pre-elbows, when HXBows ruled the roost

... You remember the thrills of 1mill PR
... You remember a time before skills
