I wasn't sure whether this would belong in this Forum or in Doo Peas, so I opted to go with the 'off-topic' section here instead. I considered putting this in a blog posting, but I figured the forum would work better for this sort of endeavor.

So, I've got a list of things that can identify those who spend too much time on The Sims Wiki - tell me how many of these things you've done/do, and feel free to suggest your own!

You know you spend too much time on The Sims Wiki when...

• The wiki is one of your main bookmarked pages that you open every time you launch your browser
• You've adopted your on-wiki nickname as a nickname elsewhere on the internet
• You've friended other wiki editors on Facebook
• You follow The Sims Wiki on Twitter
• You know the current time in UTC
• You know what CPTP, MPTP, DPTP, APTP, RfA, RfB, and RfR mean

How many of you do these? I know I certainly do a few of these! -- LiR ^{speak ~ read} 22:29, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

As for me... 1)No, but then I do visit it quite often regardless. 2)No, but then the naming style is consistent in my internet 3)No. 4)No. 5)No. 6)RfA and RfB, yes, but then others no.

I'm a bit embarrassed now lol... it's a yes for #s 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. I've got my windows clock set to local time, with it set to also display a 24-hour UTC clock, just so I know what time it is on-wiki lol. -- LiR ^{speak ~ read} 22:36, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Don't be embarrassed, it's a yes for almost all of them for me. :P 1. No. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. I'm unsure... 5. No, but I have a good idea. 6. No. --Bleeh^{(talk) (blog)} 00:20, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

For me, it's: 1. No. 2. Yes. 3. Nobody accepted it. 4. Yes. 5. Still no idea about UTC. It's just so wrong compared to my computer clock. 6. What are the first 4? Nikel _Talk 01:06, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

Only 5 and 6 count for me. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 01:16, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know about on the wiki, but you spend to much time playing sims if you try to manipulate the pie menu in a sims video. Hurshbr (talk) 19:51, April 8, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr

Okay. 1. Yes -- I have the Recent Activity Page bookmarked! xD 2. Not really, I used that username before on other sites. I use Cavia porcellus only on this site. 3. No. 4. I don't have Twitter, but I sometimes check The Sims Wiki's account. 5. No. 6. Only the last three.

I don't play The Sims a lot, but I remember that I once tried to find a >>> speed button on the activity page! :D Cavia (wheek • speak) 17:31, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

This looks fun... It's a yes for the first 3, no for 4 and yes for 5 and 6. :3 Beds ^{(parlare - da leggere)} 20:53, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

For 1, i've got it bookmarked and its ones the first pages I open, 2, I use the same one for MTS, but then over sites I use parts of it e.g porcupine 12 or something, 3 and 4 I don't have Facebook or twitter , 5 it one hour behind for me, 6, i know the last three, I had search up the others: Concrete Pavement Technology Program, Mobile Phone Telematics Protocol, Digital Preservation Training Programme and Association of Paper Traders of the Philippines.

When you get yelled at by your teacher and it shows up before your school account page. And you wish that you can just make pages about random stuff—Preceding unsigned comment added by SimsFreak31 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~
