What does your username mean?

[hait2]

i'm the 2nd hait
i don't know who the first one is anymore
nor do i know what a hait is
(read: randomly bashed my fingers on a keyboard one summer eve)

I do have a unique name for my msn though (and it was unchanged for the past ~6 years). When i google it, i only get results of some poker handhistory submitted by me, among other things, also related to me. pretty neat.

[CorwinShiu]

Well like other people in the forum, my username is my actual name.

 

[FU]

My username... Front Up? *cough*

 

[Erik]

Arnaud van Galen

AVG would be a funny short for Arnaud van Galen
Btw, I also like that you use a username of which everyone know who it belongs to. I think (hope) everyone knows who Erikku is

 

[AvGalen]

My username... Front Up? *cough*

Does that imply that you can only solve a cube if it can be solved with that two-generator?

 

[ostracod]

An ostracod is a tiny shrimp which lives inside a tiny shell. I have a few pet ostracods in my house. ^_^

 

[badmephisto]

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.

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

i still would've made a fool of myself.. thats the point. but at least i won't really care as much if I channel my idiocy through a fake name
it was a kind of an extreme example.. but suppose you talk with some other people on some message board about religion or politics or something that is a little more sensitive issue... other people may then judge you based on the things you said, or even worse, things that might have been taken out of context.

Maybe I'm being a little paranoid, but logically I know I'm right and that's all that matters to me.

 

[Derrick Eide17]

Well, presumably you're expressing your true views on message boards. Then why should you keep them hidden from others?

I'd love to argue about religion, it's my favorite debate topic. I'm pretty sure everyone that I know IRL knows my views on it (i'm an atheist btw) and they don't judge me for it. In fact, all of us learned more about religion in our bible studies (unfortunately they weren't too inclined to read other holy books, but oh well)

My nick name is my real name. I don't see a reason for using a pseudonym.

discussing about religion is a waste of time, isn't it?

 

[hait2]

i don't consider fun a waste of time
maybe it is a waste of time with respect that nobody's beliefs get changed, but that's not really relevant. i don't always argue to convince someone; rather i argue to learn/teach more about the topic and expose the assumptions they make/dogmas they follow without realizing it. it's a win-win

 

[Killer128]

my username is killer128 because when i played EQ that was my game account but the 1/28 is my birthday =)

 

[edd5190]

I used to love the show Ed Edd n' Eddy as a kid, and, me being a nerd, I liked Edd (a.k.a. Double D) the most. A couple years back I made a NeoPets (virtual pet site) account and wanted to use plain "edd" as a username, but of course it was taken, so, why not add "5190"? Then it stuck. I used that username for everything else I signed up for.

 

[airsea]

Hey there!
Just joined here, just re-began cubing after some years break...

I'm airsea 'cause that's a english phonetics' transcription of the abbreviation (?) of my (italian) name, Ersilio - I loved to sign as
Air C. Lee "Awe"
: )

No clue. I just put together two words.
