You might be a Cyburbia addict....
if you check 'Random Thoughts' more often than your email
if you find yourself typing an [/unmitigated BS] tag at the end of all your staff reports
if a citizen at the front counter tells you 'they can't afford to correct a code violation because they're on a fixed income' and your first impulse is to start a rant thread
What is this Cyburbia Addiction that you speak of ?
Oddball
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
if the forums are your home page (a fanatic if it's the FAC page)
if the first place you conduct "requested research from a superior or Board/Committee/Commission" is to start a thread in here to see what other people think or do
you are truly happy when someone gets into the Clubbe (a fanatic if jealous of their #'s)
When you get more birthday greetings from those on line than you get in the real world.
It is all a matter of perspective!!!

This first thing you do in the morning is scan msnbc and cnn to search for a famous dead person to add to the death thread.
Even though you know a person's real name, you call them their Cyburbia name.

Your're moving in with another Cyburbian so you can discuss Cyburbia more at home
Even your kid knows all the Cyb regulars' names and avatars
you quote your cyburbian friends in conversations with people in the real world.

You spend 2 sleepless nights picking out the best avatar and then 2 more sleepless days wondering if it was the best pick.

If you have a Cyburbia "my city is better than your city" mug and everyone in the office is jealous of it...
You start asking advice on how to pick up hot train guys from others around the world...

You're no a planner, yet you're still here
That's it...that's a dead give away!
You darn tootin', I like fig newtons!
Oh, so totally true.... Kind of ironic that after all these years I've become less interested in urban planning... I'm still interested in other urban problems though....
When you can ask real career advise and have it turn in something worthy of the FAC.
When you know more details of the love lives of those in Cyburbia then you do your friends.
When you wonder during your day what has happened to el Feo, jordanb, el Guapo, etc…
When you actually use Cyburbia for insight on how to be a better planner. I've honestly learned a lot from y'all.
Well, that’s easy. Just point down river.
When your login ID is saved on 3 computers.
You check Cyburbia more often than email.
You ask here first for solutions to work related problems.
Your boss comes and asks you to post something on Cyburbia for him
You get antsy waiting for the server updates and wonder what you did with the alternate login url.

When you are 'Jones-ing' for your Cyburbia fix. (Anyone remember the word Jones-ing? Not the Queens English)
You know when you 'hit boards' more than once a day.
And if you miss a day, you begin to shake uncontrollably and pink and red elephants march on the ceiling..... oh wait, maybe that’s not the Cyburbia addiction... that was the Wild Turkey Jones!
What’s in a name? – Your reputation….:)
Don't forget Gedunker is also along that river.

When you meet someone you've never met before at a conference, but you feel like you "know" them from their Cyburbia posts...
That will happen in Philly.

You might be a Cyburbia addict if...
you list Cyburbia as a "professional membership" on your resume.
you skip the APA hospitality suites to attend a Cyburbia Laefest.
you have ever been subject to a Budgie "photoshopping".
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
