Explain Your Username

[P e r s e p h o n e]

Long time ago the first boards I went to were astronomy related. I often tried to claim the nick Sunspot and always failed to. So out of childish spite I went with moonspot.

Unfortunately, I just googled it and OMG I NEED A NEW USERNAME!!!

I was afraid to Google it because of your foreboding post, however it seems its just a bunch of spotted goats. 

[MoonSpot]

Oddly...I have no desire to be associated with goats in any way shape or form

[Lord Gaben]

Location, New Zealand.

I am on Hoilday

[Askew]

Shhh! its a secret I am not actually Gaben

 

Yeah, I know, the username GabeN was taken by me, it was banned after 1 post because I made it an epic monologue of bullshit and even wrote a poem about Steam.

Cool, what rules were you violating?

Spamming/troll posting I expect.

 

It wasn't the name of the account, it was the drivel that I used it to post, you'll be fine.

Yeah, I knew there was no problem with the name gaben, was just curious what was bad about the post

I got bored one day, the title was something like "to all my loyal servants" and there was a paragraph of text about how I looked down on all the peasants and members of the PC master race from my high valve chambers ect and then I spent literally an hour and a half in a word document writing a full on poem to paste into the post about how valve came into being after gaben worked for microsoft, and the story of steam's rise to glory.

 

It was full of pc master race type meme trollish drivel to be honest but reading it back did make me chuckle, unfortunately some of the mods here don't have much of a sense of humour and decided to delete it rather than just lock it and leave it there. Meh, it's up to them, not my forum, and it was spam.

Its a shame they took it down

[BrandedUpontheGrave]

My Xbox Gamertag used to be SGTMadgunner and when I made my live account I changed it to Hellstorm six, I eventually made a username called FireandStone and now I'm BrandedUpontheGrave it all maintains a theme of fire and stone. Not so much due to any affinity for the theme itself as it simply being easier to make a user based off a previous one than to come up with a brand *snicker* new one.

[nuclear465]

I've been using my nick name since i have configured my first e-mail account, 15 years ago i think. I don't remember why though... It has been a long time, maybe because it seemed cool to me at that time.

[JLCitadel]

[LurzKesh1138]

In KoToR(Knights of the Old Republic), on Korriban an npc would approach you and try and give you an item, and his name, Lurz Kesh, just stuck in my head all these years.

[ColourShift]

Not sure where it came from, but it's for my YouTube channel though.

Rumikarimu

 

karimu 

Back when I was cool in a game on PS3 called Littlebigplanet 2,
I knew other people, one of them being called, "Akridkarimu."

I borrowed the last part of his name, and continued from there.

 

Rumi

My old username in most of the things I've signed up for was
Rikorualex/Rikorudaniel, so I wanted to keep the R thing going.

[theelitegamer]

I was just sitting while making my game name on steam, just sitting think all my other names are taken, so I just thought that elitegamer and sticked with it. I'm surpised that no one took my cocky name

[Magluf]

My username be my last name, yaaay. *crickets*

[FatalityDiablo]

Well basically when I was five or so I played a lot of mortal combat with my bigger cousins, which I was never allowed to but that made it even cooler ofcourse Thats how Fatality came to my mind.. Now Diablo comes from my first big love - Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, still have not played with any better than this :wub:

[DJ46]

It's actually quite dumb. Back when I was 11 or maybe a bit younger, I decided to make an account for a chat site my sister used. I had no idea what to use. She said a lot of people put "DJ" into their name and it's "cool". So I did it. And I was born on 4th June (Sweet 16 is coming up really soon )

On other websites or in games I use "phenomanII". I was trying to come up with a good nickname because I wanted to make Youtube videous and I thought my PC will have a Phenom II inside. That changed but I liked the nickname too much.

I also used sMArT because my friends had nicknames that were also 5 letters long with some random letter capitalised.

I used to play some CS 1.6 with the nickname FractalFanboy but shhhh, Josh doesn't need to know...

[UnAdmin]

I used to play a game where some games that used admin commands. One of the commands would unadmin someone. Thought it was neat to have admin in the name. Some sites don't let me use that so I'd use Michael127001 instead (self explanatory?)
