How many screen names do you use on the net?

Personally I try to stick to this one for everything. I've occasionally used one or two others but the way I see it this is my online persona so I like to keep consistent. I know others use different names for each forum or game they use though. How about you?
 
I've used this screenname for almost anything since college... I've got one other that I use for semi-professional stuff, though.
 
I had a few before this one, I started using it in late 98, IIRC. It kinda stuck. I have a couple others, and two or three for gaming.
 
I've been using this one for the past 4 or so years.
Same handle for other forums and B-Net (unless I joined them earlier than 4 years ago and in most of those cases, it was just to ask one question and never look back at those places).

When I was playing UT2004 2 years ago, I just stuck with JB.
 
I used this one pretty much since I've started at the interweb. I sometimes add variations if I sign up somewhere and it's taken. Like on youtube I have an imposter who used my screenname so I just added ftw to the end of my usual. 😛

For things I don't want to be tracked down I just put something else that comes up randomly at the time like the first 12 characters of /dev/urand. (no, not really, but would be the geeky thing to do)
 
I use this name for most everything. One or two forums I visit have me under a different name, and my screen name is different as well.
 
This is my handle for gaming and forums. My screenname is based on my name with a flourish, my email is something I came up with a few years back, never used it again because I thought it sounded dumb.
 
I used a couple more in 2001 but since then I've been only dennilfloss everywhere (as far as I remember).
 
Twenty-two for the net, 0 for gaming because I do not play any.

Nearly all of them are on forums that I mainly lurk and just do searches on(like to see if a product is a dud or if anyone has found a solution for a computer problem I'm trying to fix). Getting rid of the annoying CAPTCHA's while searching is the main reason I actually joined most of those forums.
 
A shit load because i hate being tracked down to one username. Im a private person so i use different names on different boards. What if i used a name like AzaBaquatas on ATOT than some scat porn forum. Anyone could track me down using google.
