Good grief, that was ages ago, and if I recall right half the forum was all "OMG CONGRATS!" and the other half was "... For real?! :blink: " Geez, how long have you two been married now? It feels like it's been forever!

Another symptom of my addiction, though one that doesn't manifest itself very often anymore: back when I first became a game moderator, we did not have a good timezone spread, leaving several hours in the middle of the night relatively modless- and back in a time where porn and goatse mass-spammers were a much more common occurrence. I could not tell you how many nights I stayed up stupidly late or all-night going after one of those idiots because I was the only mod online and didn't want to let the spammer du jour clog up the place with that crap. (Oldtimers probably remember the Jackson spammer- he cost me a lot of sleep since he was in New Zealand and thus his attacks were generally late in the evening California time.) Also for awhile I was dominating the hell out of the moderator Olympics, though since I started college and such and we have a larger crew now I've slid more into the middle of the pack for the amount of work I do. :D

I got a telegram today, and I was thinking, "I wonder who wants to talk to me." Turns out is was just the WA.

It's Nightkill. He's been there so long he rents out rooms to other people at a flat rate, but demands cash up front.

I'd say yes, I'm addicted. I've heard internet addiction is a bad thing, but meh.

Protip: getting away from NS requires removal from the internet. Something will always bring you back here.

A lot of new players mistake my region for one of the feeders (South Eastern North West), so I get a lot of "Join my region!!1!" telegrams.

You're also apparently addicted to digging up six-year-old threads.
