I paid my dues for a 2010 infection two days ago, but I still haven't been infected. Is this normal or did I get overlooked somehow? :

You have to find users on the forums with the same virus as you to bite you, then you'll get infected. I'm not sure why it says your infection will eventually progress on its own, since I've never seen that actually happen for anyone. It must take a really long time if you opt to wait it out.
