I am taking the title of this thread as something personal.

OOOps wait, I just realized when this thread was started I was still a newbie.
 
This site was called LI when the thread was started and now it is called IB, so it is the same, whether you call it LI or IB. Either ways I am an OldTimer. I've spent much time on this site, I find it more interesting than Facebook as I happened to deactivate my Facebook account several times but not even did so to my IB's.

Nice try.
See this. Maybe a few more years and a couple thousand more posts on this forum will place you into the esteemed and prestigious category of 'LI Oldtimer'.
For now.. nope. Oh dear.

44. If your post count is under 1000, you’re most likely a reader than a poster.

45. A thread getting closed down almost becomes an instinct to you.
- Possibly, but then again- many threads get closed.

46. You frequently post in the General, Comparative Religion, Basic Islam, Marriage, and Halal fun section.

47. Your probably thinking this list is soo long :-[ and feelin a bit guilty that you agree with most of these, and if not you just scrolled up and agreed with this statement.
- Its definitely very long.

48. If you answered yes to most of these, then in the future if you ever log on and it says ur password is incorrect and u attempted 5 more time but then had to wait 15 min and then attempted again and it still didn’t work, u might go through a short heart attack and then log on MSN for help cuz u have some kind of “connections” to a mod or admin.
- No, there're alternative means. I didn't know my login credentials, and an old friend (zAk) sorted out my user account.

49. You probably are thinking *charisma* had too much time on her hands to have made this
- Definitely.

51. The first you do is check UserCP to check for rep points.
- No.

52. You stubbornly wait for LI members to log into the LI chatroom, even though they are chatting to you via MSN. *another sign of addiction*
- No, I neither know about that "chatroom", nor keep any MSN contacts.

56. You recognize the "Dude!? where's my pizza?" thread.
- No.

57. Now you're probably thinking, "Wow I’m done with the list! Alhemdulilah I’m an LI member :)" *really deep down inside, your crazy :rollseyes*
- No, but I'm thinking that LI's quite different, to how I remember it being in early 2005.

:wa:

Both are new users, that's why I didn't know.

If you don't mind me asking... what does LI stand for? I know it refers to this board but i guess the board has gone through a name change?

The board used to be affiliated with Load-Islam, hence LI.

It is now a separate site, renamed as Islamic Board, hence IB.
