You know you spend too much time on Apolyton, when your IRC nick (mine: The-Evangelion-Freak or any variant thereof) never leaves the list on the top of the forum.

Scary, isn't it? Everytime the time he's gone goes over 10 minutes, foreigners start asking where he is and we'll start speculating about his present health condition.

When you believe that because your region's flag is not on the Apolyton flag list your nation is being persecuted by Canadians and Greeks.

My share:
- When you try to find the Banana option on your GRE test
- When you type vB code in your handwritten messages
- When you've only been here for less than 3 months you are a king and are involved in every democracy game known to man 
- When you join every civgroup just to see how your avatar looks now
- When quotes in your sig made by ancient philosophers and wise men are replaced by quotes from OTF junkies
- When you cry after getting the 500th post

Some other ones that came up while I was taking a shower:
- When you suddenly know what time it is in every country in the world
- When the third page in "My Threads" was last replied two hours ago
- When you say "SURPISE" (sic) whenever you show up unexpectedly at a friend's house
- When you go to finland and look up "ottok" in the white pages
and the ultimate:
- When you think of what to post next while you are taking a shower

Actually, that should be http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=81847
But it happens to be the case that that particular thread doesn't exist either, most likely it was deleted (threads 81846 and 81848 do exist). Which could very well mean it was a classic thread as deleted threads are often quite interesting
Of course, there's always a chance, however unlikely, that the number was chosen at random

When you can tell right away what's wrong with the above URL, and that it should be
http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showt...threadid=24387
instead, and then you go to that thread, and it says "Invalid thread specified" and you go off into the archive searching for it.

Does anyone know how the thread number system works? The thread with the smallest number I could find is 00018 and it dates from 23 Jan 2000.
