Story behind your forum username?

See, now I would have gone with it being about a divine presence...

 

[Blackjack Davy]

Tis named after a character in an old song and I just liked the sound of it, I don't use it much these days so its a bit of nostalgia trip seeing here, maybe two or three people have recognised its origin over the years

I just have been into pirates at the time!

Thought so!

 

[Elku]

Very good of you - It's done

Thanks Mate! Keep well!

 

[dirtychinchilla]

Years ago I was fatfurryelephant. I think this teacher had a software at school called furry elephant, and I was quite rotund so I added fat to it. My steam login is still [email protected] as I can't change it.

Eventually I ended up going to a LAN centre where my friend played as Treebeard, so I became Bilbo Baggins. This was back in the CS 1.6 days. eventually I had to think of a new name and randomly came up with dirtychinchilla. There's no special story behind it...

Pretty dull!

 

[Cleisthenes]

I was in to old Greek people at the time

oo err

 

[MoRT489]

I was gaming under the username MoRT back in the RS Raven Shield and COD4 days, having been a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels at the time I liked the idea of death's apprentice, so took his name - Mort. Have also used Morticus and more recently MoRT489, which was BF3's suggested username when neither of mine were available , so changed my forum name to match that.

Damnit, I always think of the 87th Precinct books when I see your name and I often wondered if that's where you got it from.

Haha sadly not

Favourite clip from that YT video is "Bye book" - good memories

 

[something daft already!!]

I was bored with the old one and asked it to be changed. The rest is history.

 

[almoststew1990]

During my edgy teenage years I decided wasn't quite whole so I am almost Stew. And clearly I was born in 1857.

 

[marc2003]

First name + year of birth. I then joined the forum when I was 1 because I'm a precocious little scamp.

It was a sticker on a bios chip in an old RM desktop PC back in school. Certainly beats the super cringey standard young teenager style name i was using to play delta force land warrior online prior to discovering it...

 

[FBi7]

Mine is a combination of my then career, the CPU I wanted and my sheer ineptitude at selecting a forum username.

I had been a long time lurker of this forum, reading, educating myself about all things IT.

It was only when I needed to ask a question that I signed up. At that time, I was serving in the Royal Air Force as a Policeman. We had many (un)affectionate names amongst Servicemen, one of the least insulting was 'The Feds'. Much akin to the FBI.

At the same time, I was building a new machine about the same time the 1st gen iProcessors were released by Intel. I desperately wanted an i7 920, so the username FBi7 was born.

FWIW, I couldn't afford an i7 920, so I got an i5 750 instead. When that died, I bought my current i5 4690k.

About 9 months ago, I built my mate an i9/RTX2080 rig with all components purchased from ocuk.

I've never owned an i7 CPU

I now have an i7 CPU

Handle? This isn't CB

I've changed your name, if that's what you mean.
