But...

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

I would assume your natural suavity and charisma will shine upon them through the internet and they will know you by the trail of your posts... or you could just tell them...

No, just a zombie.

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.
