TheShinje Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 [FONT=century gothic] [color=crimson] [size=1] What was your first user name CWB? I'm interested, I thought Crazy White Boy was a long enough name lol. My name comes from a long line of names sent to the graveyard. I joined in v4 as Saiyangohan2002, later, I signed up for a new account and called myself Nuchlear, When James did the name change, I thought i would do something to resemble my manga, so i called myself SunRiZe, after Rising Sun. but, finding that a little girly, a hell of a mistake, I singed up (yet again) and called my self S@bretooth for reasons that stretch beyond me. -bleh.

Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Rick Hunter is my favorite anime character of all time, and in personality traits acts very similar to myself therefore since I can identify with the character I use his name as my screename, in hopes that I can someday emulate his greatness. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 [color=blue][size=1]Well, when I signed up, my name was Saiyan_monkey (geez, what was I on when I thought up that name? I hate it now ^_^). When James did the name changes, I got my name changed to Rain. I don't know why, it was the best name I could think of. Plus, I like rain, and we haven't had any for a while...*shrugs*[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 [color=#507AAC]I was thinking of changing my screen name once someone else comes along for this job. But I'm not so sure. Sometimes I feel like I'd like to use a different name, but then I think that everyone knows me by this name. So I don't know. I do use other names elsewhere though. My name at GA forums is "Denki". I chose that name because it's the name of the company behind Denki Blocks on GBA. And at the very start of the game, you have a little light bulb that yells out "DENKI!". I thought it was hilarious...and it made the word stick in my head for a while. Plus, one of my favourite Japanese music groups is Denki Groove. So it seemed to fit.

Dan L Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 There's how I came up with my name... let's just say it mostly comes from the game [i]Desu Ex[/i] and also occasional run-ins with the dictionary. Essentially, Deus Ex Machina means somethinng along the lines of "An unexpected solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem" and is mostly used in drama, but sometimes to refer to real life situations as well. When I found that out I thought "cool" (as you do) and "that'd make a great screen name". Although at first I wansn't aware that you could have spaces in your screen name, so for 10 months or so my screen-name was Deus_Ex_Machina.

Delian Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I've always had the name Delian. I just saw the name Del in a book I was reading once and Delian just came from that really. Not much to it. I don't think i'll ever change it. The name has kinda stuck to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonstar Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 :D I am known by varous other names around the net. All of them are based around the character I invented called Blue Tajiri (that's one of them) I am also known as Silverstar, (Blue's ship) and blueelf (Blue is a Blue Elf, yes I am crazy) I also used to go by bluedragon (like the noodles) but my sisters ex-boyfriend used the same name. Oh and martianwerewolf is a name I still use, that is another Blue reference.:D Just to confirm, I am crazy. In fact I'm a total loonie. But hey, Proud To Be Weird.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Chicken Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Well I like to pay out religion. I like to play FF games. Yeah anyway, I was watching Flynn play one of the games and he was on a chocobo. As I watched it he ran across a stretch of water. Now, apparently 'Jesus' could walk on water, and so could the chocobo, which I thought looked like a chicken. And of course, I screamed "IT"S A JESUS CHICKEN!!!"

Ryan Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 [size=1][color=blue][font=century gothic] *Real Name* Ryan *Looks at name up by his avatar* Ryan Hmmm......You do the math. I am kinda like James. Whenever I was under the name NoodleZ, I wanted to change my name to Ryan, which of course it my real name. I wasn't sure though, because even though some did know me as Ryan, and called me Ryan, most others knew me as NoodleZ. I just decided to change it to Ryan. A lot easier to sign in then before.

Anna Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Well, Anna is a Hebrew name, meaning "One of Grace", or "gracious". That's the name I was born with ... so yeah, my name is Anna irl and here. Since some people here explained their old names in the older versions of Otaku, I used to go by SuperRadSkitzo. "Super Rad" is the name of a song by The Aquabats, and "skitzo" (used to be "Schitzo" but people kept leaving the "c" out -__-;; ) is just a little something of my psychology-self thrown in there. No, I'm not schizophrenic but I am thoroughly interested and study psychology, and schitzophrenia is a disease that I'm rather fascinated with...... however morbid that may be. o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I'm not. It was the [url]calc.org[/url] website, that at one time was much better than it is now - their server crashed or something. Graphing calculators do have an interesting feature that their screen and programming language make them excellent for Game-Boy-like video games. I don't think it can really be called a bulletin-board in as much of a sense that OB is: it was more like a news-article, reply style board.

Mnemolth Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 It would be interesting to see if anyone has any idea about where my name comes from, excluding those I've told! ;) And contrary to popular belief I did not one day decide to come up with an impossible name to spell or pronounce. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
