when you wish for your friends to call you by your ORG account name.
for example ORG mods meet and call each other their ORG name stead of their real name.
Upon seeing that someone's been murdered horribly, you flinch because you know you aren't going to get the chance to post it in the backroom for four or five hours.

He is, of course, referring to the .Org....

No, I'm being serious.
'Gah' is by no means an org conception, it's simply one that we've adopted.
Plenty of people say it...

I confess that I do that (actually, I haven't checked my e-mail in at least a month, but I've checked my PM box almost everyday).

Yep!

I gave up watching the news when I first gained access to the Backroom - I don't post in there much though - political and news debate is simply exhausting!

Yes - just being on vacation for the past week. I've missed this place so much - I've also learned that typing after a week away from a keyboard is quite hard.

I'm highly guilty of doing that....

I secretly want them to, my real name is pretty ordinary and average, but I don't say anything. However, when I talk to myself, the first sign of madness, I call myself by my Org name.
I'll let you guys come to your conclusions about me....

You couldn't possibly want your friends to do that? I think they'd trip over the name for 5 times before ever pronouncing it correctly. Conversations could go on for ages :p

When you send your prayers as PMs to TosaInu.
When your friends call you as your org name.

Now thats sad.
Or when you consider the org your family.

When you bring up posts by backroomers at your workplaces for comedic relief.
King Henry V 22:08 06-01-2007
When somebody in real life says "Gah", you reply by saying "Gah indeed".
When asked questions by a pollster, you are offended at the lack of the Gah! option.

When you hear some horrible story on the news, your first thought is : I should make a thread about that in the backroom !
And then are disappointed that no English sources are available...

Or worse yet it ruins your whole day because some one else has already posted it and stolen your thunder.

ROFL!
I "bow" to my kids (also avid TotalWar players) and I often consult the Backroom for hints on big breaking news or totally neglected news items (both are my RL business) and to read views from various members. Also for book tips, game info and whatnot.
In short, I feel a frequent visitor when I don't understand that people are shocked if I praise "total war" as the best concept since chess.

The combination of both is actually the worst: you can't find a decent source so you just decide to let it rest and two days later someone does post about, wiht a decent source

You are a frequent visiter of the TW.ORG forums when...
When you know the true meaning of Gah.
When in a class you say:
I red in a forum(tw.org), and you comment a backroom notice.

Gawain of Orkeny 17:01 06-05-2007
"Orders spam for all"
you constantly post in this thread.
The Stranger 20:26 06-05-2007

Your post count is 100+
The Stranger 17:18 06-07-2007

when The Stranger is your idol
When you have been registered for only over a month and you post in this thread...
Tschüß!
Erich
When you get a polite email from
TosaInu advising you that it's about time you logged out and took a break as you're bringing the server to it's knees.
When as soon as you open your web browser to search for something you somehow automatically end up at the .org instead.
When you have dreams about the .org...

(mentioning no names

)
When you're promoted to Senior Member the same year that you became a member.

(I wonder who that could be

)
