And by name I mean your internet handle. Some people dont really think about it, while others (like myself) seem to revolve around our names. Im just curious who you are, and how crazy you get over your internet name?
Mine was given to me a about 10 years ago by a friend of mine, ever since then, its just been the name to use. Even when I cant use KingCracker Ill use a variation of it like TheKingCracker or BrandonCracker and so on, lately its been ComradeKC. Either way, its pretty much who I am, so much so.....


Ive had it on vehicles of mine for years.

The only place people call me Chowderhead is here on Dakka. Everywhere else, I'm Felsi.

But I've come to embrace the Chowderhead persona. Also, New Yorkers make the worst chowder. Who the hell puts tomato in it? Eww!

I will agree with that, chowder is no place for tomatoes. Like my wife's family puts elbow noodles in their chili.Who the hell does that?!

Well AustonT is in fact my name so I'm fairy true to it. The name MOST people on the internet know me by is TitanTerry, which is from warhams. We were playing a 6 "table" set up on the floor of the dayroom with a couple feet between boards. I stepped on one of my Roomie's Blood Claws which exploded into it's constituent parts. That's when Titan started, my legendary clumbsyness made it stick. I managed to slip and fall in our FLGS taking no less than 5 tournament boards with me (dislodged not destroyed). My other internet handle is HobbitsFeet, which is a description more than a handle. Also my callsign for years. I use my handles when meeting people from the interwebs, other than that they are mostly from RL anyways.

I also have mostly used my internet name for meeting people. Im a member of a local mud bogging club (even though I havnt had a truck in years) and anytime Ive met others for trading or whatever, its always been "You KingCracker" or "Your KC right?" Yessir I yam

I've never had someone walk up to me before and call me Chowderhead. That would be just creepy.

When I was at Dakkacon, the only reason they knew I was Chowderhead was because I was the only teenager there!

Dude (my normal forum name) was already taken here when I tried to sign up, so I went with Kronk. I'll use one or the other or nothing at all.

I don't get t-shirts made with either, though.

I love metal and I ride a motorbike.

When I met my brother in law for the first time our ladyfolk introduced us we shook hand and said the perfunctory things. Then he stops, turns his head to the side and says "Are you _____" using my aircraft call sign from OIF III. Apparently we had a rather heated exchange over the radio in the sandbox (I had a lot of those, he apparently did not). He's a good sort, but that was an awkward moment.

It really depends on the place. I have a small range of aliases that I use frequently, and I have more that I only use once.

This name here came into being many years ago back when I was still playing WoW. I've "recycled" it for a forum-based 40k RPG, and from that point onward have used this in any 40k- and most fantasy-based forums. For specific settings, including multiplayer computer games and dedicated forums for them, I often tend to set up unique character names that sound like they'd "fit in".

I do identify with the frequently used aliases, though I do my best to keep them separated.

I use my internet handle exclusively, but frequently use the abridged because the full version tends to draw ire from people who misinterpret it as religion-bashing. The full form is harderthanjesus. Always written in lower case, where possible.

It was originally an extract from a favourite quote of mine from a comic book - 'I am sexier than Buddha and harder than Jesus.' That's the English slang term hard, meaning tougher / better at fighting.

It's become quite dear to me because, well, I'm a skinny guy who tends to lose at most games he plays. I find that defining my combative ability as being able to take the man whose actions in a fight would be to turn the other cheek fits quite well. I've used it so extensively now that it's not just a name I call myself some places on the internet. It's as much my name as my real name is.

So yeah, pretty dedicated to it.

My username was something I made up on the spot when I signed on.

I think it's become a bit of a thing now, I'm often abbreviated to MGS (which I'm still hoping will be added to the dakka-dictionary... ) and when my wife and I go to dakkacons, we are universally known as 'the stompas'.

I have used Witzkatz for many years now, first as a LAN party nickname. I was sitting at my computer at a friend's house and, for some reason, thought of cat food...there's this one brand called "Whiskas", dunno if the Brits or Americans know the kind. It was a small step from "Whiskas" to "Witzkatz", which I thought sounded funny enough for a nickname. It roughly translates to "Joking Cat", by the way.

Before that, I was KartoffelCommander (potato commander) for quite a while. That one had rather strange origins...

I have always been Azza007. Azza was a nickname given to me by a teacher that just stuck, real name is Aaron, and when I signed on to my first forum, the old GW boards, my dad created the account adding on the 007 for some reason. Since then I have pretty much kept to that. I have only tried couple of times to get rid, the first was the ridiculous mrcool when I was 13 on a drum forum. More recently I have gone by seawolfbill on some accounts what with my middle name being William. However I always seem to come back to my old Azza007, just become habit.

I think I need a better one.. mattyrm was merely my email address about ten years ago, its the same for loads of stuff, but its hardly a handle.

MGS has a cool name, as does KC.. mine doesnt really make any sense as a handle.. its just matty with an RM at the end.

Ok, from now on I shall be called kingdong23

I guess "Gitsplitta" isn't the first reasonably well-known alias I've had... but like the other it was strictly used in the context of the circumstances in which it was born. So on 40k forums, if available... I always sign up as Gitsplitta. Outside of the forum/gaming world... not so much. Though people who know me first on the net may well continue to call me "Gits" in-person... which is fine. Git's personality and mine are identical (nearly... the web allows me to be a bit more cantankerous than I am in person)... so being called by two names that are effectively equal (from a self-awareness standpoint) is no big deal.

It was a fairly spur-of-the-moment name I made up to log on with.. so there's no deep meaning or emotional attachment save what has developed during my time on Dakka.

mattyrm wrote:Ok, from now on I shall be called kingdong23

And why is that do tell?

Mine is just a Science fictioney sounding name i made up, i chose it 'cos it sounds fairly cool and imo looks very cool written down. I am quite dedicated to it as it is 100% mine, the Word Perkustin did not exist on the internet before me.

Kingdong because my penis is huge, and 23 because it is 23 millimetres long.

WAAAY above average right?

...

RIGHT?!

LOL! Well played sir.

When I first signed up I was really into speed-cubing, solving rubiks'' cubes as fast as possible. I was quite bad at it though, andafter a few concentrarted seconds of thinking came up with my briliantly clevrr rubiksname. I am quite proud of it if I do say so myselft! I have since not done the cub as much and have gotten rather slow. But the name has stuck with my and I use it in a few other places in and around the interewebs.

I use this username for everything online.
It is the name I use for my Chaos Lord in 40k.

I'm am only known as Great White on Dakka. But if you called me this on the street or called me shark, I'd answer you.

daedalus is what I always try to snag when I can, but it's seldom available unless I'm one of the first on a site. Frankly, I'm kind of surprised I got it here.

Otherwise I go by something else. If you see Murderkill, PhilHartmansWife, or bradarnett, chances are it's me.

I don't go around getting shirts with it on them or tattooing it on me or anything, though a Faceball 2000 style shirt saying "daedalus says: HAVE A NICE DAY!!!" might be fun.


Hmm...

Time To Waste is a song from my favorite band (Alkaline Trio), and 85 is the year I was born in. I used it as my AIM handle when people still used that, then it became my SN for dating sites, then Xbox Live and on here. Now it's pretty much the only name I go by, other than my ebay account: MrChainsaw85, which is another homage to Alkaline Trio.

I use this handle in all forums, but unusual as it is I'm not the only person using it. I found a Howard Treesong on a motorbike forum that definitely isn't me.

I use Ahtman quite a bit, though once or twice I have found it taken, though usually on free to play rpgs where there are millions of accounts, often inactive.

No...no. Not crazy, just....

Okay, yeah, crazy fits. Don't forget the bat-gak in front of it though.

I used to be the Luggage on the university fora and later on the postgraduate fora. Some people still know me by that, but I prefer people to use my actual name once they know it.

I'm only Da Boss on Dakka. I was amazed it hadn't been taken, though there is a DaBoss who is actually an older poster than me.

Funnily enough, I rarely play Orcs or Orks any more. I'm not loyal to usernames at all, really. I like [Military Rank] Jenkins and [Forename or Title] Bigbones as well.

Had mine for 8 years.
Tend to use it a lot, though I have backups...

I have used d-usa for at least 5 years now and it is for all effective purposes my online identity.

When I first started up my blog that long ago I made that my domain as a tongue in cheek reference to my dual citizenship (d=deutsch=german) (usa=american).

I then started using that domain as my email (whatever)@d-usa.(blahblahblah).

Then I started using d-usa as my IRC handle and my forum handle. My biggest variation is when the software doesn't allow for special characters, then I just use dusa.

Quite tied to it, what with it being my actual name, albeit with an "æ" where an "a e" normally lives.

Wait your name is Dale or your name is Dael pronounced Deal? Never heard of anyone called Dael, though i will admit i am incredibly, even militantly, ignorant.

Perkustin wrote:Wait your name is Dale or your name is Dael pronounced Deal? Never heard of anyone called Dael, though i will admit i am incredibly, even militantly, ignorant.

Dael, pronounced Dale. It's generally quite rare with any spelling, my one is Hebrew I believe. Wouldn't worry about it though, I've never met anyone with similar spelling either.

I love my handle, had it since 98. It was my 1st e-mail address and i`ve had it since.

Not even Fox Mulder can work out where i got it from

Same! Well, except for "Arakasi" not "daedalus" I've been using it as long as I can remember - "Adrian" is always taken. "Arakasi" often is too, in which case I usually use "Arakasi75". Except for rare UK DakkaDakka events though, no-one refers to me as Arakasi outside of the Internet...

I used goliath111 as my run escape account back in about 2005, as I had had an R.E. lesson the day that I made the account.
I've used Goliath, Goliath111 or Goliath11111 as my username for every account I've made since, I guess because I've grown fond of it over the past 7 years (my entire adolescence)

Once I move to Virginia, and save up enough I plan on buying a one ASAP.

I only know what that is because of playing the DayZ mod on Arma 2 !

Mine is from probably 10-11 years ago, I first signed up to another forum (The Bolter and Chainsword), didn't really know what I was doing so just used my Email handle for the signup (which was one I had made when I went travelling).

I'm still using the same avatar as well from back then as well, for my sins.

LoneLictor is from the Tyranid Hive, the first 40k forum I went to. So I've had it for awhile. I like it ya know. It always makes me imagine a Lictor prowling through the jungle, utterly alone, reliant on its own wits rather than the Hive Mind to survive. Also, the Lictor is wearing a hat.

Well I'm pretty attached to mine, Tibbs is my surname, and I've been known pretty much exclusively by my surname all my life, so I tend to use Tibbsy as my handle on various forums. Wherever Tibbsy is taken (which so far has only been Xbox live and Steam) I tend to use Tibbsy IG.

I use this one a few sites, I don't really post on any of them other than dakka anymore though.

As for T shirts and licence plates, my name is a little too odd to be put on those.

I just went with something punny.

I have about 4 or 5 active names on various fora and games and at least as many inactive ones, I don't have any real attacment to my various psuedonyms.
This particular one was chosen as I like the sound of the word.

I'm pretty much Castiel everywhere. It is my alterego now.

My license plate only got me into "trouble" once. I was driving through Flint with it on one of my astrovans, and some dude got all butt hurt about it. After telling him to politely feth off, things seemed alright

I first had to become the Drunkin Irish Dungeon Master before I could use DIDM


and no I have never played DND, had a lot of the books including rules and such, just like now though, I had no friends into my games

Mines short for Nicodimus Rex. But it was a pain back when I used to have to log in with my full name so i shortened it and it just became the name i use for almost everything now. I was going to have in on my Lic-plate down in TX but I never got around to doing it.

I AM FM Ninja 048, the one and only, unique, one of a kind, unparalleled even

Try and steal my name and i'll hunt you down and shank you IRL*.

But yeah, I like my username, it was made when I had Xbox as my halo 2 username, then when I got live the [redacted] became FM for shortness, then when I started using forums and such I kept using it becuase it's easy to keep one username.

I am tempted to get some unique FM ninja gear for myself, but am very poor ATM




*probably not actually, i'm quite lazy

I think Im the only Ultrafool, I used it for everything that requires a username. If I can't for some reason I use Ultratool, UltraJebus, and other Ultrawhatevers. Pretty proud of it, I think its original, I hope it is.

I use this user name for pretty much everything now, It was Hlaine Larkin originally on the forum for my LGS but then the server closed the account but kept it so I created Hlaine Larkin mk2.
wouldn't buy merchandise with it on it but it's a nice constant in my life

Liquidjoshi has dropped away from most places now except my email and here. It was originally liquid_yoshi, but that was a pain to type... just like Liquidjoshi is a pain to type.
But, you know, if you see Authrix kicking about anywhere, it's me. I'm pretty attached to both.

My girlfriend and I had a pretty drawn out argument over my "internet identity"

I use it on my facebook account and she hates being "in a relationship with Bakero Fish"

I've had this handle since 1998 woman!

Only now do I realise you are not Baker of fish.

I have friends IRL that refer to me as "Monster."

I don't know if that counts as dedication, but it certainly indicates some spillover.

Changed mine, recently, but I believe I'll be sticking with this name in most every venue(IRC, etc.).

Chromedog started out as an RPG in-joke in my group.

Starting with an inadvertent mistake with a name (wrote "chromeDOG" instead of "chromeGOD" - it was in a Werewolf:The apocalypse game, referring to the Glasswalker hacker character whose digital web avatar was of a chrome crinos (classic half man/wolf wolfman). So the chromedog was also appropriate, if derogatory.

I have white hair (have had it since I was 17 or so - my hair just went that way). In my current group, I'm the oldest, so am seen as an "old dog" and the white hair (NOT 'SILVER'. It's 18% neutral grey and does not stand out against a "neutral" photo background).

That and I'm lazy. On most forums, I'm known as chromedog. It's just easier. People who meet me whom I previously only knew from forums, associate the nick with the hair.

My online tag has evolved a bit over the years. Was Aduro for a long time, but I started adding the T (initial for the identities last name, Terrarum) after I found Aduro was taken a lot of places. Put in an effort a bit back to get my name changed to AduroT everywhere so all my accounts line up. You can actually find out a good bit of info about me in real life by googling AduroT now.

Ironically, I actually answer to my real name (rather common name or at least I believe) less then I answer to "Norse." I'm not from Norway or any scandinavian country (unfortunately ), but my family has some good ol' viking blood that I inherited right and proper! I'm a definite textbook viking and proud of it! I've went as far as having it put on some clothing and was going to put it on my tag if it wasn't so expensive. Anyway, I've never been referred to as Norserune, but almost everyone in my circle of friends says Norse before they resort to my name. I'm deeply attached to it. Chances are if you've ran into this name it was me, but it HAS been taken on occasions, then I add numbers of make something strange like tehNorseman or NorseDudesman.

Not really dedicated to my dakka name, since it was mixed to easier share trades and ebay stuff.

My video game handle though, I always use it.

Combatkitten

I've used this in every venue it was available. It was my character name in Everquest, so I've been using it since 1999.

Hah, that is awesome Kingcraker.

I go by Galacticdefender on pretty much every site I am an active participant of. My airsoft "callsign" is Galactic, and I will probably have a bumpersticker that says "Galactic Defender" on it, right next to my "My other car is a heavy support choice" sticker. I pretty much just chose the name because Science Fiction is pretty much my life , and I like to go with the "good side of things" generally. Except for 40k where there is no good side.

I don't "own" my own vehicle yet (I drive my dad's truck), but when I do, I'll have my name on my liscense plate most likely.


I also generally use HAL 9000 as an avatar (usually with the same quirky expression), but sometimes I'll use other stuff like the Tanith 1st badge. (here I wouldn't dare change my avatar, because I recognize most users by theirs, and I assume others do the same)

Although I have thought of changing my internet name to Sun Stealer, but it would be too difficult to change everything, and I've just had Galacticdefender as a username for so long.

Not really at all, feels childish to me. In fact I've considered asking to see if I could get it changed it a few times, but with the number of posts I've figured may as well stick it out.

That and I'd have to think up a replacement.

I have like 8-9 handles at this point, going through various games, forums, and chat clients. Mostly they're related to dogma, my name, or a couple other odd "words".

I use "azazel the cat" or "azazel~the~cat", etc. everywhere, and I have for almost 14 years now.

Given that Harry is the name I was given when I came screaming into the world I'd think I'm pretty dedicated to it.

Hazardous Harry is subject to change, but I do use it as my username on a couple of other sites as well. Mostly because it's easier to remember than anything else. I love the lengths to which King Cracker has gone though, Dakka needs more people like you!

Mine has evolved over about 10 or 15 years from thesilversurfer to silvermk2, which I use pretty much everywhere.

I'm happy to be called silver at internet meets and if I felt the need would be happy to have a shirt etc with the handle on it.

Well I've been calling myself Ledabot on forums from as long as I have really been on the net, so being a youngin still, thats only 7 or so years. I have splashed my name about though. I had a hat With L3dabot on it until I lost it.

the 3 wasn't my idea though. I think ill keep to Ledabot in the future.

I'm pretty dedicated to my name. I don't really care to comment on its significance as it is a personal matter.
I don't have shirts or a license plate or anything, but I do paint it on a few of my miniatures.
I only have one other handle, Dreaknyean, which is a corruption of Drach'nyen, Abaddon's sword.

I've been using HBMC since I started using the Internet.

KingCracker wrote:On the side, am I the only one to sport a custom license plate with my name?! I must be crazy

Nope.

I'm Drk_Oblitr8r everywhere, with very little differentiation. Chances are if you see a Drk_Oblitr8r or DrkOblitr8r etc, it's me.

I don't have anything representing the name, but I think I should start looking for something though.

I do love the license plates!

As for me, Aurelia is something I grabbed for Dakka: elsewhere I am known as something else. Pretty much each forum/game/id/email name I have is different. Only my WoW and Diablo names overlap, and that is because Blizzard made me!

I'm not sure why I do this exactly... but I have my theories.

I've always been Coolyo294, ever since I started playing Runescape in second grade.

Well its we are two shades of awesome ya?

Im zman111 Just about everywhere (and where im not Im zachman1394) and im kinda weird with it. (I invision the licence plate of my first car either saying Zman!! or saying ork-guy)

I've used five, but MDS has become my favoured one, and one I'd use elsewhere if I was to suddenly join other 40K forums these days (although that seems unlikely.)

My original name online was Captain Reaper as I had a Scythes army when I first came online. Later I switched to fuzzy spiral, which was based off a npc in Werewolf the Apocalypse, still my xbox LIVE login as well.

I then switched to Master Zhang Liao after getting into Dynasty Warriors, and then MDS on Seer, before bringing it here.

I also use my Main WoW character Shaedrah on WoW related boards, just as its something that connects me to the game. I've also used the same name in other MMO's, and will be using it in Guild Wars 2 as well, as its become an sorta in joke that if there is a Hunter class equivilent, she takes it, took it as my name in D3 as well with a Demonhunter.

I'm pretty dedicated to 'djphranq'... its my handle most anywhere I can use it. In fact after 10 years I finally got around to changing my XboxLIVE tag to it. In games where they want you to make a profile I'll use djphranq most of the time.

I used to use 'gunslinger_cid' or gunslingercid a lot but that was mostly because its what I had on hotmail... when I moved to using gmail, I went with djphranq.

I am very dedicated to this handle and avatar. This is my online persona.

People call me this in real life too.

Are you a zombie rapper by chance?

This is just the name I used to use on Counterstrike. I've grown fond of it now, mind, and use it for other stuff. I don't know that I'd have it on a t-shirt, but I could definitely see myself wearing one with a fetching picture of a large sea-bird on it, fo' sho'.

I've gone through a few since I first started out on the Interwebs.

Before about 2005, I went through Handles like candy until I started up on a F2P game called PhantasyRPG. From about 2005 to 2008 I was a Mod and later writer, (then Mod again after some complications came up) under the Name Karzon.When My old Computer crashed and I went months without the internet, I just never felt like logging back on, but kept my MSN friends (mostly other staff members) To the people I still talk to from PhantasyRPG, I still go by Karzon.

For about a year after that, I played WAR as a Witch Hunter by the name Alaglan(better known on Vent as ALG) and became good friends with a bunch of 40k players. But they eventually all left WAR and we lost touch.

Then About the time WotLK came out for WoW, I was a Dwarven Hunter that went by the name Diril. Most of the people I played WoW with I knew IRL, and we all pretty much started going by our Ingame Handles.I did that until the Pre Cata patch came out and ruined Hunters. The ones I'm still in touch with call me Diril.

Sometime between starting and stopping WoW, I finally started to use the Internet to help me not suck as much at 40k and Joined ATT and Dakka Dakka under the name IurTaeMont (well Iur_tae_mont here), this one has, to date, Stuck with me pretty well, It being the only name to be used more than once (On Dakka, LoL ,Minecraft ,Smogon ,the 3DS gaming, and Xbox Live). Every once in a while I get someone that called me Iur IRL, but most of the time, when people actually call me by this handle, they call me Lur instead because of my spelling fail.


Anyways, If you actually read the whole post, You earned a Fishy Stick.

Ribon Fox is not my real name, but it maybe some day
This is the name I use on every thing, and I mean every thing on the webz. from e-mails to gamer tags.
The origins of my name hark back to my late teens and was given... ermmm, better not that sort of stuff isn't fit even for the OT forum
Needless to say if you see a Ribon Fox its me

Oh do tell please!!!

as for me im just well..... best described as a creature of chaos. my names vary from my real first with a false second(as on facebook) to thingssuch as Darkangel and fallen one to made up words/names.

Not at all. I wish I could change it.

You can change it provided you haven't changed it once already...

But...

How will people know it's me besides from my unique avatar, sig and general posts?

Magic. But I think people generally catch on with that kind of thing anyway.

Become a DCM and you could even make your title "Formerly known as BlapBlapBlap".

YES! Subtle DCM recruitment at its best. Bravo Not_u, bravo

Mine came from when I set up my Yahoo mail account. I was working for a friend restoring a Sherman tank, built in 1944. I have always loved tanks so it was a natural extension. I used it as my first gamertag on XBox live, used it as my handle on the Flavor Blasted Goldfish forum, The Universal Gamer Group forum, Forum Ninja, put an @ in front it is my twitter tag, it is my blogspot address... The only difference is now my XBox tag is StormLegion2k. All across the country people refer to me as Tread. I have had it on a T-shirt (a memento from an IRL meet in Vegas) but the custom license plate has been taken...

Mine started years ago from inviting my mates over for painting sessions and we called them Nerdfest nights, so slowly I became Nerdfest09 and my friends became Nerdfest11 and 01, now I use it on any forum i join and I even designed my own logo (see left) I plan on using it to make a sticker for when i send stuff to other dakkaites as it suits me to a T :-) and KC you're not the only one with a number plate! I'm waiting until I can buy my new ride then I'm getting one that says NRDFST no one hasd taken it in my state so i should be safe :-)

That symbol needs to be embroidered on an anorak...

Does it count on the front of my underwear?

Overshare! I need an adult!

I suppose...

My now widely used internet alias was not conceived upon joining this site, and I would create a new account if I wasn't obsessed with the number of posts I have.

Overshare! are you kidding? you obviously never saw my famous bathtub pic in my blog then.....

I use it on my facebook account and she hates being "in a relationship with Bakero Fish"

I've had this handle since 1998 woman!

Only now do I realise you are not Baker of fish.

I get that a lot. I was hoping my avatar would help but no....

My real life name is Alexander Douglass

I liked to use variations of that name, if not the same one. Such as Alexzandvar, or my last name in Celtic: Darkwater.

EVE Online name: Alexzandvar Douglass
Dakka Name: Alexzandvar
Steam name: Lord Militant Alexander
Warcraft 3 online name: Lord_Alexander

I like to use any name or collection of words followed by "Dar", I started this trend with my first WoW character who I named after a trip to France "Nondar". Recently Iv used Vadar for most of my characters.

WoW main name: Vadar
Skyrim character name: Vadar
Fallout name: Vadar

You say you need an adult?

Not very, Lucio (and its misspelling, the 'i' key was stuck, Luco) are only on Dakka and Heresy. I really have no attachment to it and would change it to my normal Ralij if I had the chance.

When I was at Dakkacon, the only reason they knew I was Chowderhead was because I was the only teenager there!

That will change the next time I see you...

Some people that actually know me and actually stalk me from facebook actually call me asherian. Though for some reason they are girls.

This is the name I use on every thing, and I mean every thing on the webz. from e-mails to gamer tags.
The origins of my name hark back to my late teens and was given... ermmm, better not that sort of stuff isn't fit even for the OT forum
Needless to say if you see a Ribon Fox its me

Oh do tell please!!!

as for me im just well..... best described as a creature of chaos. my names vary from my real first with a false second(as on facebook) to thingssuch as Darkangel and fallen one to made up words/names.

Lets just say I had an older master whom gave me it, he pronounced it as Rybon (Ri'bon). It was (at lest I thought) your master gives you your name, kind of stuck so I use it. That's about as much as i'm going to say with out going into details and having the Modquision looking at me funny

Thats just badass See if we lived in the same state/country, we would totally have to start a car club just for that reason

I've always gone by Blacksails or TwoToneWyvern. Blacksails was my first handle and the one I go to by default, but for online games, its normally taken and I despise having a handle with a number in it. As far I know, I'm the only TwoToneWyvern on the internet, and you'll see my under that name for things like XBox live, deviantart, and some online games.

I'm pretty attached to them, and they hold some meaning for me. Thought about getting some custom plates with my handle on them, or at least a tattoo that references/alludes to my one/both of my handles. I just recently retired my old hotmail e-mail account that I used for non-professional stuff (game subscriptions and what-not) and claimed a gmail account with my handle for future use.

Its a small part of who I am, and if you ever see a TwoToneWyvern, its probably me. There are many Blacksails' though, so it may not be me.
