Nowhere, man
So I log on today and suddenly discover I've got a phrase under my name reading: What happened to my LIFE? I think I need some answers.

How did it get there?
How long has it been there?
What does it mean?
What is its hidden meaning?
Why is LIFE capitalized?'
What is LIFE anyway?
Am I in trouble?

(Why does it remind me of the time in high school they put: "I'm not late, the bell's just early" under my name in the yearbook, when I'd never been late or even tardy the whole four years? I would have preferred "Like London, always in a fog." But the way it came down, I just felt they picked the slogan out of a hat.

The weirdest thing is, I just used this episode for a character in my book. Talk about life imitating art).

Relax, it's just a glitch in the Matrix.

Psssst! They're watching you.

ETA:

Yea, I'm still "Fanatically bored." But this thread really belongs in that "flaming Banana pit and Moderator Complaints" thread somewhere down in the dungeon.

I was something like "Hangin' in there for Aussies" when I changed to my current avatar for a while, then, noticing there were so many "Board fanatic" people around, I made a subtle change and became:

Bored Frenetic

A few days ago I noticed it was changed to "Board fanatic". Far be it from me to blame any mods or supermods around here for making such a change, I just assumed there was some automatic software thing that maybe you made lots of posts in a week and it changed you to "Board Fanatic." But then I figured I'd make it something more bold and direct to show my boredom (and make it easier and more obvious if/when this gets changed again), so I became "Fanatically bored."

AW. A very nice place!
... my greeting has also been altered to, "What happened to my LIFE?!"
Wonder if it's in reference to Life cereal. Always dug that brand, especially the cinnamon flavored variety :p

So yeah; What happened to my LIFE?!!!

So how do I change this to something more representative of my personality: like "Employee of the Month."

I'm gonna change mine back to "board fanatic."
The new tag is certainly amusing, but I've grown used to being a "fanatic" :)

It's the new default for "Super Members"

*g*

*THIS* is what they do during the hour the system's down each week.

"So, whose avatar should we turn upside down?"
"I don't know, but how about "Nebbish dweeb" for people with 650-660 posts?"
"Oooh, I like that."

I wanted to be the AW Crackho, but some might take that the wrong way. Not that I could use the money or anything.

But seriously folks, they did change the default lingo. Esteemed New Member is now New Kid, Be Gentle:e2brows:, posters above a certain count are What Happened to My Life? and there's a few others too. AW Addict is in the middle there somewhere.

That is too funny!
I hope you didn't take it as a cruel joke or something, I'm sure your life is progressing nicely.
I saw that phrase around, maybe under your name, I don't know. Personally, it SHOULD be under my name! Now, that's sad.
