Top 10 Indicators that you are addicted to CN Forums

[Merckx index]

10) Your first reaction was that only you had been banned, and that your computer had been hacked to make it look like the website was down.

9) You checked every hour, every day for three weeks to see if it was back online.

8) You missed everything on the forums. Even Scott and BroDeal’s posts in the Politics thread.

7) You wondered, seriously, if this was a plot by Froome supporters to shut off debate in the Clinic. Wasn’t going offline just two days before the end of the TDF more than a little suspicious?

6) You made a solemn promise to God, Daniel, and Susan that you would never, ever be snarky again, if only they would bring the forum back.

5) You wondered if the problem had been caused by a computer worm, and that the IT specialists knew how to eradicate the worm, but not its eggs.

4) You spent more and more of your time over at Velorooms, and found yourself constantly muttering, Dim, Dim, Dim…

3) You had such severe withdrawal symptoms that you had to go to the E.R. Not for treatment, though. Just seeing all the vials of drugs on the shelves helped remind you of the Clinic.

2) You considered starting a petition forbidding the Vuelta to begin if CN Forums was not open for discussion during the race.

1) When the forum finally opened again, it was the best day of your life since the Tour began.

 

[Netserk]

Are you accusing me of not being addicted to CN forums? None of those symptoms match me

 

[Parrulo]

I can relate to some of those, particularly the constant checking to see if the forum was back online and the immense rage at the idea of having no forum during the Vuelta.

The forum is my start page, so I checked automatically when I opened the Internet.

I can just about swallow all that Merckx, except #8. That is a bridge too far.

I experience the bolded. Especially numbers 1, 2, and even 8.

 

[SafeBet]

Check 10, 9, 7 and 2 for me.
I genuinely thought Vuelta wouldn't start if CN forum was still down.

[Armchair Cyclist]

I took it as a personal affront considering the hours of effort put into the CQ Tour game...

 

[darwin553]

I was going to say that none of those indicators crossed my mind but I have to say that 7 was pretty close.

....well....thru the "parent" company....there is the means, the motive, and a long dirty history of doing whatever it takes to win....

Merckx Index, you need to put this one in with the options!! "Your Start page is the Forum Home Page".

 

[red_flanders]

It's football season anyway. Could have been down 'till February and I'd not have minded.

At least you're honest.

We forumers need to ween you off these pages by some means without the use of mind altering drugs. This might prove to be difficult methinks.
