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 smurfing 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.
But, you've been a member longer than me.Quote:

I sometimes do that 'smurf' thing actually.
I'm almost there. >_<Quote:

What the smurf am I still doing here!?
And why the smurf are we not facebook friends :colbert:
what, I'm not Daniel Towns so I'm not good enough? :doublecolbert:
Yo, lady, Daniel found me! I'm on there! You could have found me! This is your fault, not mine! I don't friend people, I let them friend me! I don't know why I'm text-shouting!Quote:

This thread's turned out so much better than I thought it would.
What the bloody smurf just happened to my facebook feed? Suddenly it's just ads and Shorty.
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 yo-
When you can still remember what Sylvie's penis looks like.
When you remember a time before Quina's Kitchen was a subforum and GC was filled with food topics.
When someone who has not been around as long as you have has posted in a thread like this. ;)
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+.
Look who's talking, BoB. The real veterans are the ones who joined before the summer of '00.Quote:

Here's looking at you Psychotic!
:(
"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.Quote:

Those board descriptions read like something Dat Matt would've wrote. You know what this mean?
Dat Matt is a Time Lord!
you know youve been in Eoff for long when the join date is old( unlike me)
When you can remember when the Ciddies were not called the Ciddies.
Hey are you just that Ace?Quote:

Crop & I were supposed to meet up, but it didn't happen.
Will & I were also supposed to hang out wayyyy before I moved to NYC , but it never happened.

I don't understand. How can you be a member of EoFF for too long?
When you still want to give someone a user note.
When you want to look through the album.
When all the friends you made when you joined have been absent for at least eight years.
When you've kept your own thread alive for almost 6 years and counting.
When you still call them usernotes even though they've been Visitor Messages for god knows how long.Quote:

edit: I just went through my old usernotes. It was a true blast from the past.
At least March 2000, actually! Technically EoEO still exists, it's just archived at the moment. :cry:Quote:

Actually, I have been here longer than Torij but at the same time I haven't; does it count?
I think that falls under the "When you've been a member longer than you haven't" category.Quote:

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 I joined, the big thing at the time was having variations of Shuyin and Lenne sets. People were wild about "the first true sequel to a main Final Fantasy game!"
when you have 16,000 posts and have never been a staffer -_-
srsly, like 20 of the top 25 posters have been staffers at some point. I'm #24.
Man that's a ridiculous amount of posts.
And I've probably lost a couple thousand to pruning back years and years ago.Quote:

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.

I see meat puppet on steam all the time.
...when 90% of your lifetime posts have been pruned. Heck, if you were here for a prune at all. When was the last one of those, 2004?Quote:

I may join you in GW2 though whenever Windows 10 decides to come out!
When OP's join date is TEN FREAKING YEARS later than yours and he's making a "You know you've been at Eoff for a longass time" thread
When you tell someone in irc that "we don't talk about FF here"
Hilarious!Quote:

Laughing aloud with mirth and merriment.
I miss usernotes. I miss the randomness of it that could all be joined in. I don't like having organized one on one convos in VM's. That's what PMs/Mognet Messages are for. DOWN WITH THE VISITOR MESSAGES.Quote:

Oh, and I guess a good one would be you remember my sister from back in the day before she did crazy stuff like this:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/02/...et-at-70-hours
Want to feel old for people who remember when she first joined? She will be 22 next month.
Holy trout, that's your sister? Freaking out right now.Quote:
