Does anyone here ever get called their ATOT screenname elsewhere or IRL?

only at OCAU, TFNN, FISB, and in the private conversations between the idiots who edit the BBC comments inbox (bastages have never, ever published one of my comments :|)

I use it on other forums, so yes to 'elsewhere'

Technically I did get called it once in real life, but never again since then.

Yes.

In college, quite a few of my friends did not even know my real name until several months after we had met. I had known them online for some time before realizing that we actually went to the same school. As such, they usually called me 'Zeta' IRL. I suspect most of them probably still would.

Only over TeamSpeak in WoW.

I can't get anyone else to call me "cK," other than the mailing department for the Libertarian Party. :eek:

Some of my friends who I first met online call me by my old screen name, since that's what they knew me by, and it's just easier. Heh, even one of my friend's g/f's calls me by that.

On the same token, I call some of them by their online names too.

Before I knew your real name I had you in my cell as DainBramaged, Andrew DainBramaged, and Andrew Dain.
