Name fer online/LAN gaming originally. Use it for just about anything now. Perhaps I should get my name changed by deed pole. Only 28 quid and the bank have to call me Mr Nervous Frog.

999 · 11 Jan 2003 at 09:56

When I went to uni in 98 I signed up for my first hotmail account, and was quite surprised (lol) at the time to find '[email protected]' had gone. So, rather than choose some rubbish number after that I put 999 and the rest as they say, is history. Bizarrely, I have not seen anyone else using it anywhere.

I also use the name After8mink in a few places, cos it amused me.

When I first started playing the TFC Mod for Half Life I needed an alias, started off as Cryogenics (the people who are frozen so they can be brought back to life if we ever have the technology to do so), was shortened to Cryo and morphed to Cyro.

I've had it for years, and on a napster Chatroom people were drawing fish using the Characters, my attempt was <º)))>, which forms my MSN messenger name which I have had for over three years, <·..,.¸.·´¯`·.¸<º)))> .:. Cyro .:. <(((º>¸.·`¯´·.¸.,..·>

Was something Nicky Wire from the Manics had on his shirt once.

It was a choice between riotstar or Revol.

PS. Sorry to be pedantic Stiff Cookie, but how is cookie the opposite of biscuit?

Minxy · 11 Jan 2003 at 13:35

Used to get referred to as a Minx regularly so that kinda stuck, plus I wanted an original name for using ICQ and there was no DirtyMinx on there at the time.

Hence in 1999 DirtyMinx was born.

Also means "death" in portuguese.

Ah, that probably explains why our intranet server at work is called 'mimir' then

As for my name it's the name of a cool Sepultura song which was written as a tribute the Kaiowas tribe who lived in the Brazilian rainforest. The tribe committed mass suicide as a protest against the government who were trying to take away their land and beliefs. I started using the name when I first started using the net at uni about 7 years ago
