What does your AT handle mean?

[Atif]

Well, I went from email_atif (that was my e-mail back in the day) to EmailAtifofSharkyForums, which was too darn long, PLUS, I don't have any bind to Sharky.

Finally, I've arrived at AtifofVNRoundup It's fairly straight-forward. My name is Atif, and I'm the Editor of VN Roundup

Peace

I came up with that from always saying to my husband " That is MY puter, get the hell away from it!"

 

[yllus]

I might as well post in here though someone better post after me...I have a habit of killing threads...

First three letters of "sully" come from my real first name which I haven't used in ages. Then in high school one of the girls I knew started calling me "sully wully" and it caught on from there. When I came here it was taken (argh!) so I put a freakin 0 in front and that was that.

 

[lawaris]

BASTARD !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KROME]

use to be my old tagger name

 

[busterG]

Mine came from the credits of porn movies. BusterGonads is always the music producer for i think Vivid productions. Started using it playing delta force online and then shortened it to bG for the "warez" world. Not that i would watch porn or pirate software hehe.

<< Joyride= I took my initals J.O.Y. (Josh Oliver Yelland) >>


HA wouldn't it be cool if your name was Joy Olivia Yelland? Then your initials would be the same as your first name! Ok I guess that would be weird 'cause then you'd be a girl.

Anyway the reason I thought of that is I know of a girl named Amy whose name is like that. A.M.Y. = Amy Michelle Y**** (name withheld for privacy). I always thought that was neat.




<< Arigato - means thank you in Japanese. Not sure why I started using it but I got it from playing an online version of Mah Jhongg where you had to match up pairs of flag tiles and when you did, the game would play some music or say a word in the language of that country . When you found a matching pair of japanese flags, a guy would say 'domo arigato'. >>


Hey MahJongg is one of my most favorite games ever! I never played an online version of it though. If you're still into it and want someone else to play with online, look me up. "Arigato"


Hey Jerboy, wasn't your handle "Jerboi" when you signed on AT? What gives?



<< It is the tattoo i have on my arm... >>


FlamingEightBall, that sounds like it would be a cool looking tat! What does it look like? Pic?



<< You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine! >>


Fine Cyberian, I'll spill... klee is just my first inital and last name. When I was signing up for an email account freshman year college, klee was taken so I tagged a number on it. The first one I thought of was '58' because it happens to be the favorite number of the first boy I kissed hehe. Now your turn!



<< well there was an unfortunate occasion...i cant explain, really i cannot, you think i'm joking, but i really cant tell...anyways i registered as something like: dingydingydingdong or something like that, but the mods emailed me and told me to change it to something that wouldnt incite pervert comments, so i picked bingbongwongfooey. this is the only place that i use that name. >>


HA! This is one of the wacky names I was curious about when starting this thread, hehe. I like the sound of dingydingydingdong too!



<< cuz urameatball >>


ROFL



<< I am a Compaq owner...... >>


FrustratedUser... that should be Paulson's nick, hehe.



<< Myputer

<< First three letters of "sully" come from my real first name which I haven't used in ages. >>


Sully wully... Why is it you haven't used your real first name in ages?



<< Not that i would watch porn or pirate software hehe. >>


Yeah suuuure....uh huh! You're the first in the thread to derive his nick from pr0n, hehe. rofl

They have actual MUSIC PRODUCERS in porn!? HAHAHAHAHHAHAH! Damn, I thought it was just a 5 second clip of a song played over and over...

 

[Emos]

Well mine is a shortened version of my first and last name...my platoon sarge in the Guard gave me that handle and it stuck with me ever since


<< Right now, I'm engrossed with Pool of Raidance. >>


So is it a good game Az? I was looking forward to it but a lot of critical reviews and bug reports shied me away from the game So...are you looking forward to Neverwinter Nights?

 

[Zach]

Yeah, you got it.

 

[Emos]

<< BlinderBomber. That's easy. Blinder is my last name, bomber i just thought of because [a] it ryhmed and because someone once told me the nickname for the long range Russian bombers during the cold war were 'blinders' (they probably were full of crap though). >>


Oh, but they weren't full of crap Blinderbomber! The Tu-22 Blinder was the Soviet mainstay supersonic bomber in the '60s.

 

[Murpheeee]

Murphy is our crazy dog......but we call him - Murpheeee

 

[skriefal]

Pretty boring explanation for mine. It simply happens to be the username I was assigned on the college Unix box 10 years ago, when I first got 'net access -- yep, back when the most advanced 'net app was Gopher . Never found any compelling reason to use anything else.

 

[OJ]

My handle is from a close childhood friend who always called me by this name,

This dear friend recently lost his long term fight with alcoholism, he lost his job, wife, and children to this insideous disease.
I watched for many years as he tried to rid himself of this plague, we (all of us) tried to help him many times without success.
When he felt he could not possibly win this fight, he hung himself. This good person paid the highest possible price to this problem.

I always will keep this sig. to remind me.

 

[ander]

When i was a kid, my cousin asked me what my middle name was. Full name being Alexander, i told her "ander"

 

[aniki]

Aniki is big brother in Japanese

 

[Idiot56209]

I was the 56,209th idiot to join up here.

Too bad the users don't start at "1" or my profile would be profile number "56209" as well!

 

[p0ntif]

cause i'm the pope!

 

[aka1nas]

Also Known As 1 Nick Andrew Smyrnos

 

[bob92]

I think you can guess the 'bob' part...the 92 is because when I signed up for a userid in college it had to be at least 5 digits, and '92' is the first 2 digits of my old ZIP code.

People often assume that it's because I graduated high school in 1992, but it's not (I graduated in 1993).

 

[Schlocemus]

<-- Spliced Latin and English words

 

[Red Dawn]

I took it from the Ken Kesey Novel.
