Default >> Rate Your Geekiness >>

Lets try this, there's several things that increase your geekosity I suppose, so lets list a few (I thought we might make this a vb.org geekiness scale instead):

- Having over 460 PMs in your inbox
- Having more than 40 hacks released
- Getting excited when talking to vBulletin Devs or bragging about having talk to one either directly or indirectly
- Spending more than 6 hours on any day in the vb.org IRC chat
- Bragging about knowing things the other vb.org members don't know
- Getting excited and overusing the custom title feature (ie. putting a lot of things in there or having more than one line )
- Changing custom avatars more than once every 5 months
- Getting excited for having something on the forum in general
- Spending at least 7 hours a day here even though you're not a moderator (ie. you don't HAVE to be here)
- Browsing around even though there's no new posts at all
- Sucking up to authority on a regular basis
- Getting emotional and worked up over tiny things (ie. the net is becoming part of your life )

These are the main vb.org factors methinks, please add to the list. you needn't post how geeky you think you are but it would be great if everyone did! and um, Just reply lol.

Lets see if we can find vb.org's geekiest member

I don't get excited over vBulletin. I see it as a functional, modular tool that I can use to run my community, nothing more. I release hacks usually because I have a need for them, not for spite.

Heh.. maybe you don't apply to all those conditions, but some more than you think, Filb. :cheeky:

Nothing in a negative effect, of course. :smoke:
