Ok, I don't know if there's a thread on another board here somewhere but I'm starting this one here then. Initially it started as a top 10 list, but let's see how far we can go with this. I'll post what I have so far and you guys can add to it. Thanks to EscenceUvFaith for adding in a few. Ok, here we go!
You know You're A Zone Addict When...
*you bang your fist on your computer desk because you can't figure out that one last anagram

*you ask a person, how's you?

*you press enter on a link, and you worry if you don't hear the little noise that indicates a quicknote.

*you're on msn or aim, and you have the overwelming urge to say, "publics off".

*you feel empty inside because you haven't told off an annoying blink yet today.

*when on the vt server, you don't bother to make a crude remark when hearing a smart ass phoenetic. you've heard them all.

*you think of yourself as cooler because you're a premium member.

*you keep track of the number of posts on the boards, and wish you were the one who has the most number of posts.

*when you start using slang that's not even from your own country.

*You get all excited when you're at the top of the quicknote list, and make several jokes about being on top of insert other member's name here.
*when you can confidently say the name and age of over 20 of its users
*when you keep track of the number of users that have you on ignore, or if you think the ignore feature is for pussies.
*you wish the zone had a lifetime membership option.

dammit toonhead, you know very well i think ignore is for pussy's but here you go

you know you're a zone addict when
*you use /me in more than 1 conversation with a real person
*you feel you've gambled away your house cause you lost 10000 points in high-low
*your sports challenge means more than the football card you payed 5 dollars for
*you use your zone name as your real name
*you refer to zoners as if they're family, mind you, this is outside of the zone
*you avoid going to a relative's house, because no access to the zone
*you turn off the computer if the zone goes down

You know you're a Zone addict when you feel like you have to check the Zone everytime you get on a computer that has Internet, and when typing in www.zonebbs.com becomes automatic for you even when your intention was to go somewhere else. *smiles*

you know you're a zone addict when the zone is your homepage and you have to look and see whose on. You know you're a zone addict when you copied all of everyones words in your computer so you can be at the top of the anagram list. You know you're a zone addict when the zone goes down you keep your outlook express open and post about 100 messages to the users mailing list.

you know you're a zone addict when you're user name is more recognisable then your actually real name and you think your friends are mad for calling you by your birth name.

You know you're a zone addict when...
you spend time just thinkin' about your next clever login message and board rank.
You log on to the site before you even think about having your coffee!
You set up AOL to automaticly open the site at sign on.
