when i was like 10...
one of my friends made up his own word.. like a slang term
and so i figured hey, why not. lets make my own word

went through variouse stages that i dont even remember
eventually it just got shortened down to flaber
stuck ever since
its nice too, cause i dont have to compete for the name anywhere either :P
so then i decided to keep it

im not too exciting...

Lets see over the last 6 or so years... these are all the ones I can remember.

ToxicLemon- I used to be famous for eating lemons on there own... when i was like 10...

Rhavin- Name taken out of a book and used on a friends forum... i don't miss it.

Pixel Tree and Pixel Dragon- Back at eh old pixelation when i was but a wee newbie

Combat Squirrel- lol

Paranoid Android- Radiohead

VooDoo Magician- Who knows?

and currently Meta|Fox- Combining my favorite animal with a philosophical term. Coincidentally though... i just thought it sounded good at the time.



Holy damn Flaber, just saw your new (is it new? i might just be blind) avatar. it looks great

I kinda forget how I got Rydin  :-\ I think it had something to do with with Raiden from Mortal Kombat and Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2 or something.

On counterstrike, I went with "Terminus" for the longest time....partly based on the Roman god and partly based on the train station connotation.

Now days online, like msn and computer user accounts and such, I go by "zamphjeer" (or just "zamphir" if the early doesn't fit) cause I got this old vinyl at a garage sale last summer labeled "Zamfir: King of the Panflutes" (which I mspainted many times :lol:) and I thought he was all obscure and stuff......I later on discovered that he did some stuff for Kill Bill and Lord of the Rings (I think).

I'd rather not say what names I've tagged with :P.

9_6 was the best I could come up with when i had to decice for a forum nickname for the very first time -I have no idea how I actually came up with that.
I sticked to it. Mainly because you can type it so fast (3 chars).
Does scaling an image blur it?

I dunno, I think its because I used to used to jump off things in an attempt to fly;  I found great success with glad bags, BTW.

"Flying" sucked so i picked "Gliding" since it sounded original and I always loved the letter g anyway.

I don't exactly know how I got my username, I like abbreviations. KBS sounded cool, but yeah every letter had the stand for something so I just made KilledBySuicide out of it, originated in the end of summer -06. When I had the urge to register here I couldn't come up with a better username so that's why I chose KilledBySuicide..
