You know he's named after a DragonLance character, right?


Yes I know, and he has me reading those now too, but I'll get him back with Wheel of Time.

Tas.

So I know who Tasselhoff Burfoot is but what's the 78362?

My name only took me a few seconds when one I had years ago got banned for something stupid. So long ago I don't even remember what happened. I think my original name was from Forgotten Realms though. :)

Just a second. Someone had written it in a get well card earlier that day.

You expect me to remember 6+ years back? (has it really been that long?) Anyhow, I think it probably took only seconds.

Not long enough - I've been thinking of changing it, but can't think of a better one. Maybe I should ask Mosh for help.

I've actually had a name change on these forums once.. but both names took me no time to decide on. They are names I use/used for everything (forums related, etc)

No time at all. Every time I join a board, I use Sqube. I came up with it when I was about 12 or so, way back in my AOL days.

I used to be surprised every time I joined a new board and the name was available; someday, I'll try to join a board and someone will have already taken the name. I'm sure my head will simply explode from shock.

I closely identified several possible naming conventions. I explored all ramifcations and causalities for each name identified. I put together a 6 week, goverment sponsored study group to data mine, performed surveys, and find the most likely statistical name for me. Books were written, poetry was expelled, songs ordained, and babes were Christianed. Much instrospection was induced. A PBS special was done.

All in all, I think I spelled it out in my alphabet soup one day or something.

My name is the same name I used when I played the original Neverwinter Nights on AOL back in 1993.
