Linkitis 

a geek affliction whereby a poster on a forum disregards the last post and continues with his or her own; this is also called crossposting, and is a horrible disease.

People exhibiting this type of behavior show no regard for the edit button, and usually have no idea the cure is quite simple: refresh, edit, and re-submit. While in the throws of a Linkitis-fit, afflicted posters will generally never delete their infected post, forcing other posters to take up the slack, delete THEIR own post, and make some sort of a cheeky reference.

This affliction occurs quite often on the Lostpedia forums, and was first discovered in late August of 2007. Named after Link McCloud, Linkitis is only getting worse lately; scientists are currently unable to figure out why this continues. Remember: refresh, edit, resubmit.
(example taken from THE QUESTION GAME thread):

AlaskaDave: Whats your favorite fruit
fredcar: Bananas. Do you like Baseball?
CurbFan: Yes, but Rugby is better. Do you LOST DVDs?

linkitis 

Linkitis is a horrible internet-based deasease.
This desease often is caused by tiny Linkittens which infest one's post and causes them to miss or ignore the post directly above them.
Malinkitis is often a variation of the desease that causes the poster to miss 2 or more posts.

The best ways to avoid Linkitis is to apply a Linkondom (also known as an Edit Button) or to abstain from posting in large groups where Linkittens are often prone to strike.
You posting so close to me gave me Linkitis.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
