Why did you choose your username?
« on: November 20, 2010, 04:44:53 PM »
All you do is tell why you chose yor name.


I chose my name because at the time i joined i loved playing War of the Monsters and my favorite character was Praytor and my favorite costume of his was his 4th.

I like hydrocarbons. Hydro is short for Hydrocarbon.

I always pondered that. I would think 'his avatar has tons of fire, but his username is Hydro which has to do with water'

I used this one cause I had no other idea for a user name and well back then it fit.

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

Well, when I joined, I had no idea what to choose. I was a bit of an F-Zero GX fan at the time, and seeing as I hadn't unlocked many of the cars, my favourite was the Golden Fox. That, combined with the last two numbers of my birthyear, resulted in the creation of my crap nickname!  :approve:

:P

My real reason was that I wanted something original for a username, and I had read quite a bit of Sonic The Hedgehog comics before that, and just added 96 at the end because it sounded cool.

And for a while, I was the only other person who knew what the word meant!  :D

I chose FOTEPX because FOTEP stands for something. Believe it or not, it stands for Flight Of The Eagle Productions. The X is there because my original Youtube account (FOTEP) got hacked, so I added an X on the end to get around that. I still go by FOTEP on Roblox and other sites I have been on since 2006/7.

Mine is a very old name..born when I was 11/12, and back when i truly was a midget. I'm still short now, so I guess it still applies.

EDIT: Damn you badnik, beat me to it D:

So THAT's why your name always sounded familiar.

Because scorpions are my favourite creatures  :mrgreen:

TBH i've used this name for ages, I should really use a different one, scorpion sounds rather egotistical in a way.

So, it implies you have pincers, a stinging tail, 8 legs (2 specialised) and are related to spiders. I don't get how that sounds egotistical. :P

i got this name about 7 years ago when i wanted to make new account on Runescape (used to play it a lot back then) after my kinda... unlucky account. and when thinking of a new username for a fresh start, some good track was playing on my CD player. i checked what song it was. it was Powerrave from Korsakoff. then i thought that 'Powerrave' would actually be very fitting as a username. seems i thought right back then since i now still wear the name with pride.
