Userboxitis is most common in the Geek and Leet population but can affect any individual who has ever visited a Wiki and come across a userbox. Early signs of the disease include the attraction to colourful, oblong squares or cuboids. This stretches further than simply within cyberspace: the sufferer will often stare at cardboard boxes, and in some extreme cases television sets. More intermediate signs of possible contraction are the inclusion of utterly pointless templates already created by other sufferers and the bookmarking of Wikipedia's Userbox Page in their computer's browser. Furthermore, the individual will find themselves visiting the page on an hourly basis in order to check for updates which they add to their userpage.
