On August 16 2012 16:09 CyDe wrote: How'd you guys pick your usernames? I'm sure this has been answered somewhere before... many times. Most of the "stories" behind most usernames are very boring and unimaginative; mine included: it was I guess about seventeen years ago I suppose and I was trying to choose a username that wasn't taken already and therefore did not require adding numbers to the end of it or anything like that. After a few tries I just started trying random things and this is what I ended up with and have kept it ever since.

Depends on mood I suppose as there are a lot of old entertaining ones of which I know I couldn't recall all of them. as for the worst open [public] thread... my vote goes to the Korean Music Discussion Thread as whenever I see a Mod Report for that I dread opening it as I know it's going to be utterly terrible and having to read through a pile of crap on top of it in context of that post is miserable. | ||

One of the games said I'd be banned if I didn't choose a "mediaval appropriate" username. So I thought, "Well, if I'm going to be medieval, I want to be a somebody, so I'll just make my dude a knight." There was a stack of batteries beside my mousemat, left over from some testing, and after considering a couple of words, I chose this name. In the end, joining the game made me choose a profession.

We chatted a bit, and got on that night to play a few 1v1's. After I beat them (I was probably borderline D/D- rank on PGT) they were like 'wow wtf a white man beat us.' During gym class, we were playing baseball, and i got in a pickle (stuck between 2nd and 3rd base) and got out and scored a run, they were like "OMG AMAZING MICRO" and hense, I decided I was more asian than them if I could beat them in starcraft, and show some baseball micro. So my name was then created, CaucasianAsian. | ||

On August 16 2012 16:09 CyDe wrote: How'd you guys pick your usernames? salle (or Salle) is a nickname I got back in first or second grade (when I was 7-8 years old), because we were two Eriks in my class so we both got called by our last names instead, mine then got a standard way of making a nickname out of a name in Sweden done to it... (Karl -> Kalle) So when I first got online and started chatting it was natural to use that nickname as it had stuck for 6-7 year at that point, and was fairly uncommon. PS. Apparently it means "a big room" in French. | ||

Its what I expected. But I'd hoped you in fact lived in a quaint little cottage in some rural (by Irish standards) part of Ireland, maybe on the top of a hill, or overlooking the sea. Think Bilbo Baggins between the Hobbit and LoTR. Then you'd write your article and blog drafts on a typewriter, before eventually copying out the final piece to TL. I guess Dublin is nice too though. I should probably spend less time on TL and more time laddering. | ||

On August 16 2012 16:09 CyDe wrote: How'd you guys pick your usernames? I might have made reference somewhere else on TL to Falling Up the band or else the Shel Silverstein book of poetry, but it's actually a little more straight-forward (and perhaps boring) than that. I think the first forum I ever joined was in 2006 Dog-Eared that was connected to Anti-Shurtugal an anti-fandom site devoted to critiquing the Eragon series. I wanted a nice, simple username that I nonetheless didn't need to find a variation to everytime I went to a new forum because it was too common. Especially because I didn't (and don't) like usernames with a ton of numbers, symbols or 1337 spelling or whatever. I was super paranoid about giving out real information so of course I had a throw away email with a fake name. The fake last name being Falhaus. So from Falhaus... Falling. My profile pic of P.O.D.'s Sonny and Wuv and my Jack Handey quote also made the transition over. (TL profile pics aren't quite as prominent as other forums.) So if you ever find the Falling, P.O.D. pic and Jack Handey combo on some obscure forum, you've probably found me. | ||
