[badmephisto]

mine is a loong story... my real nick that i have been using for like 10 years now is just Mephisto. But back in my old country when I made my first email (on homtail), Mephisto was already taken. Back then I knew only like 5 english words, and "bad" was one of them... so i became bad mephisto... not sure why
oh and Mephisto is brother of Diablo, as taken from Blizzard's Diablo2, or a demon from Faust... naturally he is bad

[ExoCorsair]

I picked this out for the online game Outwar back in 2003.

'Corsair' was the base (Starcraft), and I wanted some sort of prefix, more or less for it, and arbitrarily picked 'Exo'. Nothing special about it.

 

[masterofthebass]

I originally used bassmachine when I started playing bass 6 years ago. I changed it over to masterofthebass at some point, and now I'm going to school for bass. I guess it fits.

I was going to ask you if you were truly "master of the bass". I guess now I know. Very nice.

Spell Erik in Russian letters, make them all a capital, then make them all small again, reverse the letter order, make the last letter a capital, reverse the order back, translate it back again and you get Erik

Arnaud van Galen

 

[Karthik]

Is that your pup Arnaud?

 

[Lotsofsloths]

ahh... I am obsessed with sloths no more explanition needed.

 

[AvGalen]

Is that your pup Arnaud?

Yes and no. That is not an actual photo of him, but I do own a Bernese Mountaindog. He is 2 years old now.

Oh, and the reason I use my actual name as my username is because I like that people know who I am. That is true on this forum, on MSN and on real competitions.

Same here.I find no need to be anonymous anywhere.

 

[badmephisto]

i'm kinda worried about anonymity on the internet... potential employers might search your name, and you never know what google picks up. And not everything you say everywhere can always be good. It doesnt even have to be employers though... anyone you meet... friends even. for example, i was hammered last week, went onto a message board and made a complete fool of myself (message boards and intoxication do NOT mix well )... that probably wouldnt look too good if it was on my real name. And even if you go back and edit it, sites like google can still preserve it on cache. So I'm not a huge fan of disclosing my name on the internet... if you weigh the potential goods and potential bads that can come off it, one side Clearly wins.

I have one ubiquitous usernick that I just stick with, out of habit.

But it's rather nice, having such a username that's also 'unique', since if you find another "ExoCorsair" anywhere online, it is very likely me!

If you would have used your real name you probably wouldn't have made a fool of yourself.

 

[SkateTracker]

Skate = Skateboard, because I'm a skateboarder. And Tracker is a truck company. No, not the truck you drive, it's the part of the skateboard that connects the wheels to the deck. lol
