1.) You associate "smurf" and "trout" with the F and S words everywhere you go.
2.) You fold your arms and do the Colbert to your father.
3.) You spell Bob with both capital Bs.
4.) You make a thread titled "You know you've been a member of EoFF too long when..."

Go! Go! Go!

When you don't remember joining.

This is supposed to be a funny/cute thread. All my answers are just sad and make me feel old.

When there are members who weren't born yet when you joined.

When you have Daniel Fucking Towns as a friend on FB.

I remember BarelySeeAtAll.... cool member. You know when you have been a member too long when people you met when you first came are long gone. What about Jen, where did she go?

When you log in compulsively out of old habits, read posts, but don't have anything to say and log out.

Jen was coming around chat for awhile.... If you're talking about Jen that has a lot of cats, that is.

I haven't been an eoffer long enough to answer this. I haven't even met a fellow eoffer yet ! I sometimes talk to Paula on the phone tho when we're drunk. And I Skype chat w kotora & parkity-park-parks in a group chat errday.

There. Friend request sent. Now calm the colbert down.

What the bloody fuck just happened to my facebook feed? Suddenly it's just ads and Sarah Cobb.

You know you've been a member of EoFF too long when Shorty takes over your facebook, apparently.

& when EoFF babies start becoming old news.

If I'm still here when the first EoFF grand-baby happens, please cut me off.

Of life support, because I'll be super-duper old by that point, and I don't want to be a vegetable.

When you know almost everyone's real names and you have to manually stop yourself from using them in posts so as not to confuse the newbies.

When you know weird disturbing personal details about other members that you don't even know about real life friends.

When this is at least the 20th incarnation of this exact thread that you've seen over the years

When you go to eoff before facebook.

When you remember the first mafia game.

When you talk to eoffers more than you talk to people in your actual life.

When you think of new ideas and events to do on eoff just cause you think "it would be fun" to do with other eoffers.

When you talk about eoff on your social media accounts.

When you remember the candlejack event.

When I talk about people that haven't been involved in EoFF for over a decade, and only 1 or 2 people know the names of the people I am talking about.

Or when I realize that there were people here when I was in my mid-teens that were 30+, and now I'm 30+.

You know you've been a member of EoFF too long when the jokes that happen on the forum are often based on your real life experiences and your real life experiences are often based on misadventures with the members of the forums.

Or this (http://web.archive.org/web/20011124000819/http://www.fflegend.com/forums/). Or when you registered at everyone's boards to be nice and sometimes ended up staying for a while.

"Eyes on Each Other", as a name, has been in use since at least 2001 and Loony BoB axed it? I feel like I'm living in bizarro world.

I do actually recall signing up for a bunch of forums around this time, including at least one Final Fantasy forum. None of these were connected to EoFF, though. :tongue: Before forums I used "message boards" which didn't require a registration, you just put in a name when you posted.

Those board descriptions read like something Dat Matt would've wrote. You know what this mean?

Lone Wolf Leonhart

When you still want to give someone a user note.

I do this.

Also, fun fact: You can still view all your old usernotes! They are in your profile. You just can't leave any more. :(

When you scroll to the bottom of the front page of the forums (note, by this point you flat out refuse to acknowledge that eyesonff.com is anything other than a forum) and have a panic attack because you scrolled too far and entered the land of obsessives and the long forgotten.

When you remember EoFF Elections! (Does EoFF still do elections?)

When you remember the EoFF Exodus and BoB making omgmygame!

When you remember making the logo for omgmygame. :aimsun:

When you remember the 2005ers (and HSU included) being the coolest EoFFers ever. :aimsun:

But to be honest I still consider myself fairly new here even though it's been ten years. I'm actually a fetus compared to some of the older members I interact with on an almost-daily basis.

Aw man I would use Steam a lot more often but my "decent" laptop exploded in 2013. I have a cheap Crapple MacBook now that only fulfills my basic, physiological, computer needs: Word, Excel, Photoshop, Internet, and that's it!

I may join you in GW2 though whenever Windows 10 decides to come out!
