The Official "How'd You Come Up With Your Forum Name?" Thread

[Lyrical Wondermind]

I got this name from Coach Z's character page. I don't know where my original username came from.

[Alexisonfire]

I was listening to one of their songs at the time of registration.

Nah, just kidding--I actually started out on the forum with a name dealing with the kot, then switching to a senor cardgage-esque alias, until settling for stickly man, a character nobody had taken. stix for short.

[that_lufis]

Lufis is the main character of a series of fantasy books I plan to actually start writing sometime in the next few years, and comes with everything you see here. Druid robe and staff not included. Hi-res, not-crap version coming later than sooner.

[ChocolateMetal]

Um.

Well, I just put two random words together.

Later, I finally thought of some relevance...Chocolate describes my hair color, and Metal my eye color.

Even then, it's a bit of a stretch.

[The Chort]

Started with my favorite character from H*R, but The Cheat was taken. I switched it to The Chort, as in how Coach Z says Cheat. During a play-off run a couple of Octobers ago, I decided to add the Total Astros Fan, since I was one of the only 'Stros fans on the board, and wanted to show my support, which is a play on "Strong Bad - Total Editor," which is I believe taken from the short, "Interview."

[scoobysnacks]

Hmm lets see back a long time ago when I was first getting into this whole internet thing. I was trying to think of my AOL screenname and I somehow came up with scoobysnacks. I have no idea why I did it just came to me. Then after that I justed used that as my username for everything so it would be eaier to remember.

[The Dark One™]

Well, now that I think about it, my original name, "Trogdoriskoo" is self-explanitory. I liked Trogdor alot back then. "Shadow Lord" came from neopets.com. I was on the boards doing an RPG and that's how I got it. "Darth Homestar" was from when I played KOTOR II. I liked being on the darkside and my double bladed red lightsaber. And, my name now is from my liking of evil.

[PokéHomsar]

Mine was originally intended to have the thing above the "e" like Pokemon, but I never changed it when I could as I pride myself for never keeping a name change for more than 2 minutes (only did it once to put the thing over the "e".)  I have had this name since joining (not counting those two minutes.)

[Agent Brown]

Agent Brown was a [totally cool-a-rific] character from the first Matrix movie who didn't have a big role and actually never had his name specifically mentioned.

Gafaddict has slightly more background to it. There was a website back in like 2002 called "Games-Are-Forever" - and called itself G.A.F.I enjoyed the community and all the other crap it offered so when I signed up to its forums that was my nickname. It's stuck with me ever since.

[Bonkava!]

Agent Brown was a [cool] character...

AGENT MADE A SWEAR!

Anyway, currently, I seem to remember that my name had a little more background than just writing gibberish. The gibberish stuff was only supposed to be their for one never-on-the-web cartoon, but then... I thought of so many uses for the name.

"Doobigum enterprises owner and founder, Bonkava!"

"Barca's Assistant Major - 'The One With The Siph', or in Barcain, "Bonkava!"

And my special favorite...

"There are some things that I can't do. For everything else, there's Bonkava!
