In case you didn't know binary is base 2 counting, meaning that it can be read like this: 

2³s  2²s  2s   1s

0     1     0     0                          =4 (1×2²) in decimal

 

Just like our decimal system is base 10 so it is read like this, with 10²s being 100s etc.:  

10³s  10²s   10s    1s (or units)

5        2        3        0

intresting thing dude! Thanks for it!

[EpicLPer]

A cringe 2009ish-me decision...

 

LP was for "Let's Play" back then, these days not so much anymore but the name stuck around due to a few people knowing me under this tag.

[Z3R0S gaming]

i just wanted to throw a spin to zeros bc at the time i had zero friends and i just thought that it would sound cool if you pronounce it like roo in kangaroo as the R

 

[fUnDaMeNtAl_knobhead]

I wanted to be a knobhead

[VirusDumb]

I used to use the name "VirusSperm" in online video games, cuz I was a dumb 13 y.o. kid back then who thought it was funny and edgy, now I've grown older and almost an adult I realise that I was really dumb back then, So VirusDumb

[Jarsky]

My friend had the online name Celigab Which was his car + his name (Celica + Gabriel). 
I used the same formula and made my username Jarsky (Jarrod + Skyline) which i've been using now for about a decade. 

 

Its a unique name, theres only really 1 mention generally which is the actor Joris Jarsky, and it rolls pretty well so stayed with it ever since. 

[ebprince the computer nerd]

My username is different. Ebprince has been my internet name since 2017. I have used this name everywhere. When I found out about this forum, I made it “ebprince the computer nerd.” “The computer nerd” at the end resembles that I do know a thing or 2 about tech.

[VikasRana]

[Lightwreather]

Wanted to be Lightweaver (technically a translated name from a conlang I haven't gotten around to, well, constructing), but then realised that was an order of Knights Radiant.

So I went with the next best thing

[RoseLuck462]

I loved the MLP gen 4 era and the 462 comes from the numbers generated on my AOL account which was the very first online account I had ever made over 20 years ago.
