Story behind your forum username?

[PiKe]

I used to play in a TFC clan back in the late 90's early 00's, it was called Dad's army [DA] and I was the youngest, so I took the name PiKe.

 

[grudas]

Grudas(Lithuanian) - Grain

Nothing behind it really just a dumb username 12 yo me picked and it has been here since...

 

[Brizzles]

Guy in my old BF clan used to call me Brizzles because im from Bristol.

Probably didn't need to explain, its pretty obvious really

 

[Meridian]

He's a minor character in an obscure SF trilogy from the 1980. There is/was another user here that also has/had a name from the same trilogy.

 

[The_Abyss]

Brought it from another forum, decent film back in the day.

 

[ThestigGT999]

topgeareasy was taken

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

I love vinegar.
I have been known to drink it.
I once (for a bet) drank the entire contents of a large pickled egg jar (like the ones you see at the chippy)

As a result when I was hunting for a name that was unlikely to be used anywhere ever, the Sarsons Malt Vinegar bottle on my desk seemed a good idea, and it kinda just feels right now.

 

[Robdav]

mine came from the very first username I was given when I started working at HP in 1986

 

[jsmoke]

I can't lie there's not a story behind it, it just popped into my head, I doubt I would have planned on staying here initially so it was just a disposable username. I don't smoke weed, I tried it a few times at uni but just made me want to sleep.

I really don't know why it came into my head. I was always crap at picking usernames, nowadays I'd pick something more relavant.

It partly comes from the days of playing Wolfenstein etpro where players would use disposable names everytime then came into server.

Could be worse. My Xbox name is "Gamertag TBC" because my friend told me you can change the gamertag whenever you like. He was right, but you have to pay for it... So I left it.

 

[LizardKing]

Big fan of The Doors many many moons ago, seemed like a cool name back in the late 90's. now im late 30's its more nostalgia than anything

 

[wez130]

'Wez' wasn't available when i first opened an account on the internet with Excite Chat, Wez130 was suggested so i took that and it's stuck ever since.

 

[pcoltrane]

Rosco P Coltrane is the sheriff from the Dukes of Hazzard.

I had just named my cat Rosco after rewatching a few episodes and I was after a new memorable forum name.
The P in Rosco P Coltrane stands for Purvis

James Best who played Rosco was a talented actor who had previously played many varied roles, not just the bumbling fool most will remember him as.

 

[Vimes]

A fondness of the Disc World books by Terry Pratchett made me consider using the name "Vimes" on this forum. On some forums I would use the name Dibbler, another character from the Discworld novels.

My would be avatar.....

 

[Derek W]

I've done that for you. Amusingly, the note says that your name was changed for a few days... That was back in December 2016!

Aye when I saw it got changed I thought it might have been for a week or something but when it wasn't changed back I couldn't be bothered with contacting someone to sort it out so just left it

 

[Resident]

I'd just received my mail and I sat at my desk with it as I was just about to sign up.

Top piece of mail was addressed "Dear Resident" so I rolled with it as my username.

 

[Arsonist]

I best not say. Don't want to incriminate myself.

 

[gingergundog]

Looked at my dog and thought yeah that'll do. Might change it when something comes to me.

 

[Feek]

I best not say. Don't want to incriminate myself.

Is your real name Albert Arthur Moxey?

 

[chrcoluk]

The place I did my IT YT training scheme, had this model for the usernames they supplied.

I amended this slightly for my forum username.
