Whence originated...

[unimailer1972]

Your nickname.

Back in '97, when I bought my first computer with my first credit card; my roommate and I decided we should hang out in IRC. I didn't want to join using a lame name, so we used something topical, the unabomber. Maybe I should have been unamailer, but I am not. So, on EFNet, chan #hackphreak, unimailer was born.

In '01, I decided to join a community called Gamethreat, and my roommate and I thought unimailer by itself was somewhat lacking. His birth year was '72, and unimailer1972 was born.

Cannot say it is cool, original, or otherwise, but after eight years I might as well stick with it.

How about you? Whence originated your nick? How has it evolved? Maybe a 'nice' mod will see fit to sticky this thread?

[OmegaMatrix]

The Famous Jett Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An old Disney Channel tv show.

Jett Jackson previously lived with his publicist mother in Los Angeles, but missed his home and his friends. Longing for a relatively normal life, Jett succeeds in getting the production of Silverstone moved to Wilsted, North Carolina, thus providing jobs to townspeople while affording Jett the chance to live with his father, Sheriff Wood Jackson, and his great-grandmother, Miz Coretta (whom Jett calls Nana).[1] Keeping in touch with his mother Jules by video link on his computer (though by the third season she also moved to Wilsted), Jett now spends part of his time with family, friends and school, and the rest living the life of a working actor and celebrity. In doing so, Jett often ends up in sticky situations, usually aided and abetted by his best friend, J.B., his not-quite girlfriend Kayla, and sometimes by Cubby, Silverstone's wacky special effects wizard. In the second half of the series, Jett's new co-star, Riley Grant, is added to the mix.

The show within the show, Silverstone, is about a spy who works for Mission Omega Matrix in order to save the world from villains like Dr. Hypnoto and the Rat. In contrast to Jett, Silverstone has no family, only his mentor, Artemus, and eventually his partner Hawk ("played" by Riley Grant).

Dropped the "mission" and there ya go.

[Zaund]

Well my first name Trans_Am77 came from my car, a 1977 Trans Am.
This name is just a ****ty tire manufacturer.
I've been thinking of a new name, just need to get a hold of a admin to do it for me ;)

[Mookster]

1988~; my step-father called me Mookster because absolutely anything would make me contempt.
1996; Doom95's big red ugly floating fire-breathing monsters pissed me off and I yelled "You stupid Mook" or some **** like that, when it killed me. So I heard the story of my baby nickname and then I used Mookster as a profile name for most every game since.
I usually use MookstahInc now, since we've gone corporate in Sexyland.

[JeweyK]

Krazykarl1000---> A friend thought up the screenname for me for AIM, and I used it here.
KJew---> Same friend allowed me to make a XBox gametag on his system, so we took the first letter of my name(my favorite letter) and my religion to sound badass.
JeweyK---> SCModder was ****ing around with my name, and it stuck.

[ScAreCroW]

Scarecrow because for some reason that's what popped into my friend's head when he was describing my halo playing style (halo 1). In which I lurk in the rafters and assassinate you as you confidently walk past. That became my tag for halo 1 and everything else. Not the most amazing Moniker but what can ya do.

And the caps is Sc for starcraft, then after that, randomness.

Moniker.

[Sandman]

Started using this as one of my trolling aliases on Usenet in '96. Then I had the battle.net account name Sandman so I started using it more regularly, especially amongst gaming communities.

[Deg™]

Brand New, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, track four.

Dropped it to Deg after that was what people shortened it to, and because everyone pronounced the rest wrong.

[24k]

As all my other troll accounts, just some random **** that popped into my head as I was typing up the username. ^_^

Sayonara
さようなら!!! :3

p.s. 私の愛消磁装置!!!!!!

[han_han]

My middle name twice = han han

[hypn]

Saw a stage hypnotist show back in '95 and was completely amazed by it. Ended up chatting to the hypnotist and asking a billion questions, he gave me his e-mail address which as hypn@<whatever>... not long after, I needed a nickname for a multiplayer game, so using all of my creative genius, I just used "hypn". I've thought about changing it many times, but have never gotten around to it. Needless to say that after 14 years it's kinda grown on me.

[Tensaei]

trolling aliases on Usenet in '96

God damn, respect.

My name, anime weeaboo ****, desu-ka.

[Drakenx]

I made this name up a loong time ago. I used to string together words to make new names for games and such. I stopped doing it when I was young because "KROw; and NICe" Raised some questions when put together. lol

10 year old with Kronic as a name...
good times.

[MiCrOz]

Just randomly came up with MiCrOz after trying to think of a new username and looked at an old Microsoft mouse I had laying around.

My sn, knifedge2000, came from an old N64 game I had rented the same day I downloaded AIM, Knife Edge, and 2000 cause it was like 95 and year 2000 was fancy

My original SC alias, PureBrood, just came randomly when trying to think of a name when I first got SC, when I was like 10

Before that, usually just used my name and random numbers for AOL and ****

[Jax]

I Am Miss Jackie.



Kinda speaks for itself.



btw, Stickied

[DUI_]

Back when I used to Dj I was known as DJ DUI (DJ'ing Under the Influence).
When I started using the name online I added a _ to the end so I could find myself on google and not drunk drivers... lol.

[Dragan]

Its just my name.

[xiN.]

My first nickname was Wagabonga, I heard it came from Ninja Turtles.
Then when I got a bit better in Warcraft III I switched to x-FreeLoOSe-x, which also is my nickname on most of forums I registered. I also use xiN., but not that much as x-FreeLoOSe-x.

[Perma]

In 2001 my original alias was Xantheus, but around 2003 it was changed to Permaphrost taking into consideration the region of the world I live in, and the fact that I was a cold heartless bastard. It was later shortened to Perma because I liked the way it sounded, and it was what most people ended up calling me anyway.

[_AmPLiTuDE]

My name is Safwan.

Saf-wan

Saf-one

Saf-1

SaF1
