Because I am a solitary kind of guy with a gruff outer personality, that's why. I don't like the course of humanity and I'd rather talk to myself than most of the idiots we're surrounded by on a daily basis. Fits me well.

There was a legend among the first adventurers of the Lost Lands. It talked about a very powerful demon that was deadlier than a dragon. This demon had the appearance of a black horse. Very few adventurers could say that they saw one and stayed alive long enough to tell their stories. The persons that saw and survived the encounter named the demon, Nightmare. Most of the survivors became insane and fool. Sure, this being will now haunt their dreams for the rest of their life.

Had to knock it down to 8 characters though, hence the name nitemare

Since "Kevin" is always taken and any variations I might think of usually are as well, I just started adding three 0s and it works every time.

What pisses me off though, the people who usually register "Kevin" NEVER use it.

Mine is iam4u2nv which is I am for you to envy.
This go back to my old school days of chat rooms acting tough.

Dullard: "A person regarded as mentally dull; a dolt." "A stupid person; a dunce." "A person who is not very bright." Definitions were from three common dictionaries.

Sorry, I don't want to make this sound rude but it was people who use usernames like yours that help me pick mine. I saw far too many people with exaggerated names (referring to great intellect, great body, great skills, etc) yet their posts left a lot to be desired (ie they were dumb, ugly posters without any skills). I found over time that the more grandious the name, often the worse the posts were. Their nicknames were usually an attempt to cover up their mediocre lives. This isn't always the case, and iam4u2nv might be an exception. So I went the opposite route. I chose a humbling name and let my posts speak for themselves.
