[WhitetailAni]

Remembered I changed it, thought I should explain.

I lost a bet.

I was talking to @FakeNSAabout their whole sham government thing on the LTT banning game thread, and we got around to discussing what slots there were.

I said "If my Digikey order arrives before February 22nd, I'll join."
It arrived two days later, and here I am.

In case you're interested, FakeLMG is available.

[watacukrowa]

wata cukrowa means cotton candy in polish and i like the way it sounds

[Dundee]

just my irl name lol..... nothing too fancy

[lboolaka_33]

Dr.=Added this because there was already a YouTube channel named "Kaloob". 

Kaloob=An old teacher of mine called me this, and lead to "Kaloob" or "Kaloob the noob" being a nickname of mine. I kinda hated it at first, but over time I stopped caring and eventually started to actually like the nickname. 

My old nickname on here (old account, circa 2016), was "kk027". That was just a nickname of mine plus 027, which was originally used for my Scratch account in 2013. 

[IkeaGnome]

Changed my name to match what I use pretty much everywhere else now.

[DeadnightWarrior]

"Deadnight Warrior" is the first song on "Something Wild", Finnish band Children Of Bodom's debut album from 1997:

 

[Lomac]

My name stems from when Counterstrike was first released back in 2000.  Yes, it's that old.  Wanted to play the game online for the first time and this was the first thing that came to mind that sounded halfway decent.  *shrug*

[Computernaut]

I use the name Computernaut for several things (though I also go by ThunderStar in a few places). It came from when I was picking a new name for my Minecraft profile back in 2017. I had originally intended to be "Robonaut" ("Robo" from robot, and "naut" from astronaut), but it was taken, so I opted for Computernaut instead. In the long run, this turned out better as shortly after that is when my interest in computers really got going. I still like the name and so it's my go-to whenever I need a username.

[Downkey]

Back when I used to play a lot of Badlion/Ultra UHC I was famous in my friend group for using arrow keys. Sometime in May 2020 the Minecraft IGN “down key” was available (meaning down arrow key) and I took it. You can still look up my IGN on NameMC

[thrasher_565]

my user name thrasher was because there a mob in diablo 2 called a thrasher and the 565 is me an my friends made a clan playing quake 2. i was darksniper_565

 

my dad one day said i keep crashing play racing games my name should be crasher so that's what it is if i play racing games. my dads user name was fox maybe because of flaying games i dont no.

 

 

[rowdyjosh02]

My username (rowdyjosh02) was basically created when i was first allowed to make an account on PlayStation and Xbox because I made them at pretty similar times I'm talking ps2 days and at the time my dads username was rowdybloke73 don't ask me how he thought of that because to be honest I don't even think he remembers and i thought i like the term rowdy because i thought it was funny and my nickname is josh and i was born in 2002 therefore rowdyjosh02 was born.

its funny now because i very often get called rowdy every time I'm in the call with my mates just because ever since ive known my mates my username has been rowdyjosh02 and has never changed. 

[Prodigy_Smit]

Told my mom to help me create a youtube channel when I was 7 or 8. She chose Prodigy_Smit as the name and it stuck.

As for the word by word explanation:

Prodigy is a cool word and Smit is my name.

[TheCoder2019]

Simple history behind mine: I started coding in 2019

[Doug_Dangger]

 

My favorite radio show.

[Arika]

i'm like 90% sure i've posted in this thread before (or one of the other name threads) but i can't be bothered to go back and try and find it.

 

It's a nickname based on my real name (Erica) and was caused by someone i knew back when i was in school who used to call me Arika (Ah-ri-kah) because of his accent. No one calls me it anymore IRL so i use it as my internet handle in some places, like here. I have another name I use when

I want more anonymity 

[Fatih19]

My name + my birthdate.

[LloydLynx]

I am Lloyd, and I am a lynx. Of course that's all just in my head though... but I'm on the internet, so I can be whatever and whoever I want.

[FakeATF]

My old name, EjectedCasings was just something I thought of after I went shooting. I usually pick up the brass (cases) because my father does reloading. I thought it was a cool name, so I use it for most of my accounts.

 

As for my current name, IDK. Joined the "Fake" gang and used the first three letter gov't agency that wasn't taken that I could think of. ATF stands for Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (aka the holy trinity) for those who don't know. They're pretty much a pain in the ass if you want to get anything cool for your gun, though.

So since you're fake. You didn't participate in the Waco Siege?

[WhitetailAni]

Ah, since this thread has come alive, I figured I'd explain one of my online usernames before I came here.

Thor the Starseer.

First half, I don't know where it came from. Most seem to think because I watched Thor: Ragnarok, but I chose this name before that.

Starseer comes from Octopath Traveler.

 

That's it.

 

I've transitioned most of my accounts to RealKGB ('cause FakeKGB was taken twice!) but I think I'll stay FakeKGB here.

I can neither confirm nor deny my participation in the siege of the Branch Davidian compound.

 

On a side note:

Spoiler

Way to go Biden, you just installed a new director for the ATF who's views happen to coincide with yours. What a coincidence

leggo my eggo, let go my leg hoe.

[konstant213]

My username is konstant213, because years ago I was registering on 1 website and wanted to use konstant as my username, but it was already taken, and the system offered me several options with konstant and numbers, I chose what I chose and started using on other websites / forums.
