user names...

[MoD]

Mine originated from "Monkey 'o Doom" on Pixel Joint. That username came from my love of climbing (especially trees), my appetite for fruit, and general discontent with humanity.

[Akzidenz]

I'm a graphic designer. And a type nerd in every sense of the word. Which would explain my name.

Akzidenz Grotesk is a typeface that's really similar to Helvetica, but it has a little bit more life to it. I don't even use it or like it that much anymore (the face), but I've been using the name Akzidenz on the internet for years and years now and I've gotten used to it.

[Larwick]

Larwick - Roleplaying, story-writing main character's name i thought up. Stuck even since i don't write or roleplay anymore. Don't know how i thought it up, but i like it cus it can be shortened to Lar which just sounds rad.

[goat]

goat was my nickname in high school.  however, the reason it became my board name is the result of the following evolution:

it was originally superghost, which is a term used among my circle of friends to describe a specific technique of.. "self entertainment"

then I shortened it to supergoat, because nicks on EFnet are limited to 9 characters.  Then I thought, "what the hell, i'll shorten it the rest of the way." when Pixelopolis came about, I was goat.

[Helm]

which is a term used among my circle of friends to describe a specific technique of.. "self entertainment"

Does it involve the purposeful numbing of one's extremities?

[goat]

yes, the left one.

[Darien]

i call it existentialism

[Helm]

Oh Narcissus, what are you doing there sitting on your hand

[skw]

skurwy, skurwy87 (date of my birth) or skurIIIy, skur111y (my way of doing the letter w on personal tags).

a neologism that came out accidentally when me and my pal were involving dumb nicknames. Skurwy was so stupid and nonsense that I couldn`t resist using it on the Internet fora. In fact it`s a kind of offensive word in Polish since skurwysyn means more or less a son of a bitch. That`s why I`m usually forced to change it to something else, and there skurIIIy or skur111y comes handy.

My first Internet handle that I can remember was Drake (so the guy from Stonekeep was named) or Gotterdammerung (Twilight of the Gods in Deutsch, a Bathory CD), shortened later to Gotter (factually a plural from the word god in Deutsch).

[pkmays]

I have had so many lame usernames that I just gave up and decided to use my first two initials and my last name.
