There used to be a guy on here named Brooks. I don't remember what happened to him though. :)
 

I changed from SammySon to Sampson.

Sampson was always my original nickname, but I used sammyson for a bit.

I'd change my name, but I'm so irritating that you'd all figure it out in about 15 seconds.

I changed my username from SeekingTao to Megatomic. I also had my heatware name changed at the same time. No big deal.

Sometimes a username is just not appropriate and it has to be changed. No big deal, it's not like there's a big conspiracy behind it or anything.

In 1998 when I signed up for my first 'forum' I was trying to think of a good username. I came to the conclusion that the internet is an easy place to lose one's identity, in the sense that it's easy to make a hypocrite of yourself. I chose a name and have stuck with it since then.

I am djheater, that's me. I try and make my posts as representative of myself as possible. The ones that suck a$$ are as representative as the ones that have any meaning.

Am convinced one of your (the collective your) schizophrenic alter egos is skywalker66 - perhaps even one of mine.

i was saddened that i coudln't find deslocke anymore because my curiosity bothered me for quite some time now. so please tell me, was your deslocke name inspired from this game where i can FRAG your arse w/ the REDEEMER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :p

I thought he was named after the Evil Gamalon Leader in the Japanese Anime series StarBlazers :)

Cheers,

Yeah, I got it by looking through bot names in UT. I think it was spelled Dessloch or something... I normally spell it "Deslok" myself, but that was already taken.
