14. You’ve been corrected in grammar/spelling by zAk at least once in your lifetime. *if not, lucky you, but know he will one day*

15. You either are told off for free posting, or you tell someone else off for free posting *as if you were a mod*

16. Your addicted!! *no matter how many excuses your giving at this point, your still addicted*

17. Right now you’re probably laughing and going dang, this is soo true!! *which again we will refer to point #1*

18. You secretly want rep points, but deny all aspects of it in public, so you say Alhemdulilah for MSN.

19. You have some sort of a nick, and if not you call others by one. E.g. Osman-ozzy, Fi_Sabilillah-fi, Arwa-rara

20. You may have left the forum at one time, thought of leaving the forum at one time, but you ALWAYS return, even if its weeks or months later *usually u do it within the next 5 min *

30. You have snuck online when you weren’t supposed to (e.g. at school, home or work.) and you risk getting in trouble for it, but its soo worth it.

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.
