This I've always been interested in. Although I only know a few, for example:

JulyZerg = Because he made his acct in July, and he plays Zerg

Grrrr... = [edited] Because that's the sound he makes/feel whenever he loses

Rekrul = Because he spelled Lurker backwards

Anyone know of any more? I'd be interested in knowing why slayers_'boxer' got his name
or what exactly does iloveoov love? (oov = ? )
chojja/nal_ra/xellos/garimto/nada/ -- do these mean anything in korean?
JJu = stand for anything?
What does [Oops] stand for?

etc., etc., etc.

[Oops] is the clan not name and I dunno maybe cause they spilt some juice on their keyboard when thinking of a clan tag

JJu is Korean
but like chojja and all those I have no idea
but with Nal_rA just his name is rA and it seems to sound good

Nal is the clan, Ra is the Egyptian sun god. So Nal is really a tag.

Edit: I saw in another thread that Garimto means to hide, or guerilla style warfare.

Isn't garimto "to hide" in korean? Think i read that in some other thread, which would make sense since he hides/proxies tech like a mofo.

Edit: Someone beat me to it =)

I heard chojja was a slang for chobo.

But like what the hell is up with Yellow or HOT-Forever. OR nada.

HOT-Forever is probably the easiest one to guess. I'm sure he was just a really really big fan of that korean group HOT.

Does anyone else pronounce ForU not as "For You" but as a complete word? Like, for-oo (i have no idea how to type out that sound, but i think you guys get it).

Ddang means earth/land, so I'm pretty sure it refers to his reference of loving land units! I've heard koreans say ddang attack and such.

NaDa means "it's me" in Korean or something like that.

XellOs was a brand name on a mousepad.

chrh got his name from typing chogosu on his korean keyboard in roman fonts.

niza is scrambled as nazi?
mumyung means anonymous in korean
nada means "it's aah me!, Mario!" in korean w/o the italian accent and Mario
someone said nal_ra means to fly?

ilovoov - i have no idea
