RF Generation Message Board

I don't know if there is another thread like this, but I did a little research and couldn't find any.

Have you ever wondered why someone would call themselves "Crabmaster2000"  or was "Den68" born in 1968 ( man your old )  :P  OR what the hell does "Blcklblskt" mean. 

Well here's your chance to explain what your particular Screen name means.

cverz2 - Actually came from long before I ever had a computer, much less a screen name.  When I was 16 I wanted a personalized license plate.  People always mispronounce our last name "Severs".  They always pronounce it like you severed your finger.   So I thought "cverz" or "cvurz"  and finally went with cverz and needed a number to go with it.  I was a huge Charlotte Hornets fan and Larry Johnson was my favorite player and wore the number 2. 

SO I came up with cverz2.  And i've been using it for screen names ever since.

I would love to here how or why you guys choose your screen names.

Tried to create a username on my X-Box account years back. I like Sonic stuff so I tried to base my username around the Sonic series.

All of the common stuff was already taken at the time so I had to mix it up a bit. I didn't want my username to contain random numbers and letters so I kept it clean. Came up with Razor Knuckles. Being that Knuckles the Sonic character had razor sharp knuckles.

Been my online username on many sites, it just stuck.

I think there was a topic about this, but it got lost in the LOST-esque time shift...

To tell this story, we have to look to the future! All the way to the year 2000...

So, like everyone, we had dial-up first. My dad started to cheap out and we began using free dial-up like NetZero and others. We finally got settled on cable Internet at home and, rather than use Comcast, I figured I better go ahead and set up one unassociated with my ISP. A buddy of mine used to call me Bickman (based on my last name of Bickley). It also happened to be the year 2000, hence bickman2k. 13 years now.

I was a huge fan of Gundam Wing when I was young, Deathscythe and it's upgrades were my favorite mobile suits.

Growing up I was and still am a pretty quiet guy.

SilentScythe

Only just a little research.  ;)

I started one up back in mid-April, which replaced the one claimed by the great Outage of 2012:

I might as well join the name origin discussion. When I found this site I had now clue what to pick for my user name. I could have used my PSN ID (HotSushi01) but I couldn't think of it for whatever reason so I went with Fleach which is actually my nickname that I got when I was twelve. One time in class I was fooling around, and my teacher meant to call out my full name but "Fleach!" came out instead. Friends then started calling me that so it's been my nickname ever since.

OOPS!!!

Guess I didn't look very deep into the forums.  Or it could be that I'm completely ignorant and have no idea what moniker means.  :P

Well, look on the bright side: at least you're not some kinda weirdo.

Hey, wait a minute.

ha ha you read that too huh

 ???

Screen name?  What the hell?  We aren't using real names here? 

I did some thinking and a bit of unsavory searching and i am pretty sure the "adult forum" i joined as a minor was consumptionjunction. It is NSFW don't go to it. Also i couldn't find anyway to log in with out first "joining" by clicking some link to another XXX site. So i think they got killed like hardcoregaming.org WHICH IS NO LONGER A VIDEOGAMING SITE. NSFW STAY AWAY FROM IT

When I was a kid they used to show re-runs of the old Monkees TV show from the 60s right after I got home from school. I used to watch it every day andgot into the music for some reason and for a few years it was an obsession. So when I made an email address I used monkees1966 since that year was around the height of their popularity. When I went to make an eBay name monkees1966 was taken so I shortened it to monkees19 and I've used it for everything since. PSN, Xbox Live you name it.

i'm fairly sure the first place i used techwizard was as a gamespy account for playing Star Wars Battlefront II online for PC. i went with that because at the time i was really into doing computer repair, building basic websites, experimenting with modding and stuff like that for my pc. just general nerdy tech stuff for a teen. i still do that occassionally, but not nearly as often as i used to. i think the wizard part of it was just the first thing that came to mind, most likely from being a big J.R.R. Tolkien fan.

i'll never forget the list of alternate usernames gamespy suggested when a version of techwizard that i tried wasn't available. even took a screenshot of it, for the lulz:

lol @ techwizrDiphtong

Network Technician + My chalk number in jump school at Fort Benning.  Airborne!  It's as simple as that.  I don't like being called a geek or nerd because I am into science and technology.  I started telling everyone to call me a "techie", if they felt that I needed a label.  Nerds are considered socially impaired.  I spent 7 years as a club DJ and used to do TV spots for AFN.

my favourite is tecNeomaxizoomdweebi

Man, why did you go with "techNeomaxizoomdweebi"?! It's got everything that describes a person who is techie, likes The Matrix, eats Maxi processed chicken, drives a Mazda, and is a "dweebi" (which I think is a cancelled Pokemon)

I was born thus.

Having the word "Moon" in your last name leads to many variations of that theme...moon pie, moon nugget, moon slice, moonilicious.  Moonraker has always been my favorite.  The fats part refers back to my attempts in the mid 90s to become a gangster rapper.  Surprisingly, that never worked out for me...

I command a small army of Crabs. Once our numbers rise to 2000 we will begin the invasion!!!

Those damn deadliest catch guys keep foiling your plans tho huh?

I like booze.

Mine is pretty simple, the NES rules.
I've been using it since the glory days of the Nintendo NSider forums, I think 2005 or 2006. Since there I've used it on pretty much every website I've registered on. Common variations I use are NESRules or The_NES_Rules, or TheNESRules, depending on the site's rules for length/characters in a name.

Add some vowels and I'm sure you'll figure it out.  ;D

black label skate?

It isn't a coherent screen name, but yes, you got it.  :)

If anything, it should be sktblcklbl or something like that, lol.

I still like wildbil's pronunciation of your name, blickle blisk I think he called it.

Wrong kind of crabs...

Yeah, if I was to ever change my screen name, I'd probably change it to blickle blisk.

No one should ever change their usernames.
I'm looking at you boxintheback

GamerNick backs you up 100% on this point.

I'm lost on this one.  Why not change my UN?

The Other Leon does too. I remember at one point i had a post with all of his usernames mashed into one. At least he has always been consistent.

@Techie i was just messing with you. I tend to keep the same username everywhere and same icon whenever possible so my online identity remains constant.

You're not maligned, you're just misunderstood.

As for myself: my online handle comes from a name my father's former coworker gave his dog. Actually, Zagnorch was the dog's first name; her full name was Zagnorch Welinskivich. So I guess that makes me Zagnorch Welinskivich II.

The only time I used my moniker in public was I went by "Zags" at the comic shop I worked at. I told a coworker the story of my nick, and he got creative and gave it the middle name "Palowatzky." Which, if you've seen Revenge of the Nerds II, is Ogre's last name.

So now my full nick became "Zagnorch Palowatzky Welinskivich II." Though I shortened the middle name to P., 'cuz I thought it flowed better. I also added "esquire" to the end, 'cuz the alias wasn't quite ridiculous enough.

Um, y'all still awake?

Anyway, it's sad but true: I didn't even come up with my own user name. But then, I've considered originality to be overrated anyway. None the less, it's the nom-de-web I've gone by since I established my Hotmail account fifteen years ago.

And that's the stupid story of the legendary Zagnorch P. Welinskivich II, Esq. I hope you enjoyed wasting your time reading this nonsense.

I always enjoy reading your nonsense posts :)

Bildtstar is the name of a potato race, developed by farmers in the area where I live, the municipality Het Bildt. They wanted to name it 'The star from Het Bildt' and so Bildtstar was born. It may not be very original, but I like the name, because it refers to where I live.
Bon Apétit!

Now that is pretty cool.  Me, my name comes from GTA2.  It was one of the first PC games I bought and man did I hate it.  One day I discovered that you could listen to the games radio stations directly from the hard drive without playing the game, and thus bombatomba was born: Named from the embarrassingly stereotypical KGBH DJ (I ended up giving the game a second go after this). 


While I have used a small handful of names elsewhere (gravygamer, lordperth, tacobastard, SzechuanPete), bombatomba is my favorite and the only one I still use.

My favorite was The Maligned Cor-Leon-E back when I was on a Godfather kick.

In 2004 I just got hooked on RPG's after so many years of not liking them. First I played a game called Skies of Arcadia. Next I played a game called Grandia II. I liked the character and liked the name even more that since 2005 in every forum I use Ryudo. My Google I use the name Ryudo Hazuki. Hazuki because of the last name of Ryo in Shenmue.

Crazy the Possum Is actually a character that I created back in 2009, and I use the name for all my internet  needs :3

But the name probably came from the fact my nickname myfamily always called me was "Possum" and then a teach said I was "Crazy" So I put them together and viola... Crazy the Possum
