.. you write a witty repartee that actually becomes a circular sentence and want everyone to notice it.

It's almost a meta-"you know". Classic BC.

You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when you notice that almost every time a poster is proud of his original answer in this thread it is in fact a poor copy of my original wit from one of the previous threads.

... when you know who participates in a thread, before opening the thread, just by looking at the thread title

When the thread doesn't even have 50 posts yet, and you have 5 of them.

Speaking of that, MrWhereItsAt's name was in the birthday list yesterday (or was it the day before?). Did we miss that?

I posted a thread for him and Htower has his own at MZO .

Original wit from the good doctor?

When you have not played civ in over a month, yet it does not have a detrimental effect on your posts.

...you don't say certain things to people in RL for fear of getting banned.

When you know where the name Apolyton came from. Speaking of which, does anyone know?

[Buck Birdseed]

I do.

[DrSpike]

Not sure if you are asking seriously or trying to bait someone. In either case I'll bite.

When the 2 sites that existed before Apolyton merged they had to come up with a cunning way to merge the names. One site was started by a certain Greek, and the other was called the Ultimate Civ site. Apolyton is Greek for Ultimate.
