My nick is my name

 

[Xionide]

cyanide needed a new look. Plus Voodoo33500 and UberVoodooFx9700 got a little old

 

[RaiderJ]

RaiderJ - Joel Rader (notice Rader != Raider)

When I was first signing up for an email addy (only 8 years ago!), I wanted something without numbers, one that was easy to tell someone verbally, and resembled me in some way. I figured that if I told people "raider jay at whatever dot com", they might not spell my last name right, so I added the "i" to help out. Sometimes people spell my email like my last name, but usually it all works out.

 

[thraxes]

Thraxes... is simply a name I somehow came up with years ago. Whats funny is, if you enter it into Google, you will mostly see a trail of what I have been doing online in the last few years. 6 out of 10 hits on the first Google page are directly my fault

 

[MikeO]

Initials + year of birth, I have no imagination

 

[Wingznut]

Detroit Red Wings Nut.

Hey hey, it's okay to be 'unoriginal' some of the time

Mine is just first half of name+bday.

 

[UglyCasanova]

It means an Ugly Cassanova.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

My name is Mike and I am a Wildcat fan and alum.

 

[Titan]

tkotitan dates back to my first email where I had to pick something. My initials are TKO, my name is Titan, so I just picked tkotitan. Kinda oddly reflects a name kids used to pick on me in middle school, "tokyo titan's bad at fightin'" well, I showed them.

the 2 comes from the fact that my first attempt to get an anandtech userid failed, I setup the account for tkotitan and lost the password. So I made tkotitan2. If an administrator would like to change me to plain old tkotitan, with my current password, that would be nice.

 

[AFB]

Well, I' m an AMD fanboy.

Damn straight!

Nah... Yahoo Chat was my first forey into online chatting, and I had Wings_Nut there. I signed up on Heat.com for online game playing and my login got screwed up and I had to pick a new one. That one just kind of stuck.

Maybe I should change it?
