- You refer to Scionlife as “SL” and you know what that means.
- People know you by your screen name.
- You won’t respond to people unless they call you by your screen name.
- You have a vanity car license plate/frame with your screen name on it.
- You go online to hang out with your “real” friends.
- You are in love with someone/met someone that’s on SL.
- You wife/girlfriend drapes a wig over the monitor to remind you of what she looks like.
- You constantly browse through different sections of the forum to keep yourself busy.
- You constantly wait for other people to post something up so you can respond.
- You know how to use the “recent posts” clicky.
- When you’re the first one to respond to a new topic within a minute of it being posted up.
- You get more happy birthday greetings on SL than you do in real life and from some people you have no idea who they are.
- When you’re talking about what’s going on in SL to your friends in real life.
- You get angry when someone asks a question that was asked months ago and you refer them to that old thread.
- You’ve clicked on the last page of a forum section just to see how old topics were and what was asked “back in the day”.
- You’ve bumped something over a year old.
- You’re writing/reading such a list of why you’re addicted.
- You step out of the room and realize that your roomates have moved and you don't have any idea when it happened.
- You can't remember when the last time was that you ate a meal.
- You always look tired. Sleep? What's sleep?
- When you’re still posting after midnight. (for me… at 3am)
- People are worried about you.

k, sadly, "you know when you're addicted" when a new post comes up where you remember a relevant photo from a year or so ago and you put some generic verbage in search to try and find it and 500 or so hits come up and you spend the time to find the photo so you can link it to the new post.
now THAT is not only addicted but sad. not that i've done that.

Your officially addicted when you have your wife dictate over the cell phone all the responses to the topics your watching while you are on the road for a week. Then dictate back to her what you want said. Then get mad when she tries to reword your response into her own words so it sounds more polite. Also, Did I mention being on here till freakin 5 am in the morning when I am home. Help please??? I'm tired of only getting 4-5 hrs of sleep per night. 
Someone please come out with a 10 step program so I can start playing some of my (were new PS2 games) instead.
