Ok gang, since we lost The Person Above Me thread, I'd thought I'd start a new, fun, loveable thread. Any responses can apply to the actual main ComingSoon website, or to the boards alone.

For example: You know you're an addict when...

...your day starts out bad when you realize that one of your favorite threads got closed.

...your idea of a Friday night is getting as close to 100 posts as possible in one sitting.

...all the new trailers at the theater on a Friday night are already "old skool" to you.

...people actually start a thread here to celebrate your 1 year anniversary.

...you start talking to your friends about Iben or Frizzo thinking they know them and they wonder what the hell you're on about and they look at you strangely.

...you can't concentrate in a conversation unless the topic is "the person above me".

You know you're a CS addict when you slowly and methodically find out all the users personal info, break out of the stinkin' asylum they got you locked up in, go on a cross country manhunt stalking each and every member. Watching. Waiting. Waiting for that perfect moment to strike. Eagerly anticipating seeing the whites of their eyes as you plunge the butcher knife into their bellies. Smelling their fear as their lives are pulled out from under them. Having the duffel bag ready to store their chopped up, dismembered body parts to dispose of at a later time, just to move onto to the next unsuspecting victim. First Supes. Then Jedi. Then LOTR. Then Empireofdust. Slowly but surely all members will be exterminated, and CS shall be mine, ALL MINE!!!!!

There is a different kind of addiction that I doubt many can relate too...it takes a long time, but eventually you are so addicted you accept your addiction and you calmly go to CS everyday and don't feel bad when you are away cause you know...you will be back.

Buuuut, if you go away for maybe...two days, things start to happen to your body, you can't function and you get mad! And eventually....you turn into a Ring Wraith!!!

When you want so bad to have your name on the last post in every thread in community that you are typing so fast that you make several typos in your posts:p

When you're too tired to realise that you're making tons of typos in your posts but need no post just for the "fix".

You know you're a CS addict, when after coming back after a 2 month absence, you post more in one day than you ever had in nearly a year and a half.

When you're so used to seeing Frizzo's icon being Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal, that while playing the game, you refer to Sweet Tooth as Frizzo, and your friends laugh at you.

When you feel like the day is incomplete if you haven't said at least five times: "I'm thinking ______". Also, you know you're an addict when you stay here until nearly 2 am when you have an 8:00 class the next morning. ;)
