When joining a forum along time ago, I read Username, So I typed Username in. It was allready in use. I figured that i was going to use a name and that im a man. And the rest is history.

Ive been using it for over 10 years.
 
-Why did you pick it and what does it mean? It is my first name and middle and last initial jumbled together.

-How long have you been using it? Since I joined.

-Do you use the same nickname on every forum you visit? This is the only forum I visit.
 
-Why did you pick it and what does it mean? I didn't pick it, my friends did.

-How long have you been using it? About 15 years or so.

-Do you use the same nickname on every forum you visit? I use it on 95% of the forums I frequent.
 
This again?

Ok, for the last time, I was drunk, thought I was in the bathroom, and wizzed on the computer keyboard. I know absolutely nothing about computers. Sorry, if everyone was fooled for so long. 😉
 
1. Karmapolice is a radiohead song..I am obsessed with radiohead. I think its a cool name as well becuase i generaly dont like assholes and I dont get upset online very often.

2. A long time. Atleast 6 years

3. I use it for all gaming tags, and i use a variation of it or some other radiohead name for other forums. Gamertage is always just KP
 
Aikouka means "The Lover" or "The Fanatic" in Japanese. I chose it because having a name in Japanese is like cool++ and I originally "renamed" myself back in an ol' IRC chatroom on sorcery.net when I saw someone had Japanisized himself and frankly... I had to as well! So, being the e-pimp that I am, I decided I needed a name with some.. pnaz.. and I chose to get the translation for "The Lover" (I think from Jim Breen's e-dict). So here I am.

Ummm about 5 or more years?

Pretty much. Although there are bastards who keep taking my name, so sometimes I'll use "ShinAikouka" or a variant on that (such as Shin_Aikouka), which you can translate that to "Real Aikouka".

 
My name is Dean, and I work at a nuclear facility.

NuclearDean didn't really sound cool.

NuclearNaed didn't sound cool either, so I dropped the "a".

I've used "NuclearNed" all across the internet for several years now.

I saw it because I saw a gamepad that said gamepad on it.

I've been using it since I signed up for this forum.

I only use this alias for AT.
 
I picked it because I think it sounds cool.
About a year. Before pOwder, I was NightDarker.
I use this nickname on IRC, AnandTech, HeatWare, and any other forums I sign up for.
 
Under the quiet, low-key nerdy exterior lies superhuman... nah, you can't handle the truth :Q
 
New to the forum...

I picked adversary because I like to challenge people.

Been using it for some time.

I use it other places, but not everywhere. I was a little surprised it was taken here on AnandTech as I understand this forum is quite large.
