User Name...what's it mean??

[Rukee]

Rukee
-cause when I started I didn`t even know how to turn on the computer or what a window was
-and because I can`t spell for crap

[Paladin]

Belive it or not, Paladin was a name given to me by all my friends. They all seemed to notice certain things I did, like holding doors for people or the fact that I have trouble lying/using swear words in normal coversation, or then theirs those times that I''d stand up for someone that was about to be beaten by several angry Peers (To no fault of his own, they just didn't like his shirt or something). Oh yeah, And I'd always win, cause I had the size/skill/strength advantage... good ol' Genetics

[Fossil]

Fossil ---- cause The Old Man is old

[PorkchopExpress]

PorkchopExpress is the name of the semi-truck owned by Jack Burton in Big Trouble Little China.

The movie rules.

[SubZero]

Thanks for clearing that up bud... A day doesn't pass wondering what your handle means!!!

Now, after all these years have passed I know!!

Cool!!!

>>edit: LOL, just saw the initial post was from 2003.. hehehe... oh well....

Just this past week a person was shocked that my username is not related to computers. I happen to love this location called Point Reyes. It is a park north of SF in CA. I actually moved to the west coast due to Point Reyes. It is a beautiful place that takes you away from the cities of CA. It can be rugged or pristine.

[SubZero]

Oh... regarding my own handle... hmm... at the time I was feeling pretty low. I thought SubZero nicely reflected my (then) present state of mind...

I guess a lot of people felt that way cause I saw a lot of people calling themselves subzero hehehe...

User Name...what's it mean??

That I'm lazy. It's my first initial and last name...

[glorfy]

When I was at Polytechnic, I was a member of a science fiction/fantasy society. I suppose its quite mundane now that we've had the films, but Tolkien was one of my favourite fantasy writers (especially the silmarillion - very dark) - of course Glorfindel was an Elf Lord who slew a Balrog (Am I sad or what) - but I thought that was a bit TOO pretentious, so when I played LPMud, I became 'Glorfy'. Incidently, I had to set up a new Email account the other day. Someone already had Glorfy (of course) - so I became 'Glorfy-Be' - I think you can guess where that came from - but I kinda like it and I think it may stick!

EDIT

I forgot to say, bo one seemed to realise at the time, but I like to use irony. Glorfindel is a tall golden haired elf lord.... Im' just not! LOL.

[Shayd]

I started using the handle Shayd many moons ago now. It was my handle when I was playing NetMech in Clan Pendragon. I would always try to shadow someone and peck away at them, hence the name being a play on words of shade/shadow. Must be 10 years now I have used it. Always annoys me when someone is using 'MY' name
Oh well, that is when I use Shaydi

[boshuter]

boshuter is just the only thing I could find that wasn't being used when I first had to come up with a user name boshuter = bow shooter. Target archery is my main hobby outside of computers

[Snafu]

...when I was playing NetMech...

Is that similar/same to MechWarrior? Love MW3. Force feedback joystick, 5.1 surround. Love blasting away as much as building the darn things.

guys.

[Jimboss]

well, my username is pretty simple to work out, i am known as jim or jimbo to most (no prizes for guessing what my real name is), and one thing lead to another, and some of my friends starting calling me jimboss, so i have adopted it as my name for forums and the like.

jimbo

[XII]

Well, my nick is quite simple.
About the age of 13, my dad bought a PC, 8086, and only a little bit of software. The rest had to do with C64.
A few guys, also having a PC, organised copy sessions, and naming ourselves I to XXI. This was in the time, modums ran at max 3400B. We al used BBSes, to Dwnl software, as it was very expensive and hard to get, esp. here in Holland.
I ended up with XII. There are only 3 members stil active: IV, IX, and me, XII.

[Killer Munkey]

To be honest i don't remeber when or how i came up with the name Killer Munkey. I know it started up before Dialbo II came out cause i set it as my email address some time before that. I wanted killermonkey origionally because it sounded mean and scary. Nothing scarier than a rabid monkey that throws it own crap at you but that was taken. The first variation i wanted, Killermunkey, was open so i took that.

ever since i've used it in multiplier games and forums. half the time most people just shorten it to KM which is fine with me

everybody else has a interesting background concerning their names too. thanks for all the stories
