How did you come up with your AT nickname???

[Bumrush99]

<---------------- Old Quake name... Joined Anandtech for the technology, probably spend less than 1% of my time in video/computer forums...

Oh and I had to use the 99 at the end of my nick because I had registered years before but changed my email address and forgot my password.


Also, do you guys use the same nickname on other forums you visit?

I have no idea why I took this dumb name. I guess theprodigalson was taken?

Yeah, I mostly use the same nickname all over the Internet. It should allow Google to build a nice user profile of me online 😛

 

[Jeff7]

"Jeff" was too simple, so I needed a number. I also like prime numbers, particularly 7 and 13 for some reason. 7 won.

[Bibble]

My best friend came up with it in 5th grade. I have no idea how or why, but he gave me a "dog tag" (really just a rectangular piece of metal which has letters stamped in) which said "[my real name] aka Bibble".
