Username origins

**DaFace** · 10-02-2006, 01:22 PM

There are a number of people on here that have pretty creative (or completely weird) usernames. Some of their origins are pretty obvious (cough...GoChiefs...), but I'd bet that some of them have an interesting story behind them.

So spill it...what's the story behind your username?

**DaFace** · 10-02-2006, 01:25 PM

I guess I should start, though I think my username has a pretty juvenile origin. Back in my early days on the internet, I would often sign emails with a giant version of the winking emoticon instead of my name. It looked like this:

Code:

\   /
  |
\___

A friend of mine referred to it as "The Face" and I started using it as a name online for lack of anything better. DaFace is a little shorter and has a little better ring to it, so I've stuck with it for nearly 10 years now!

Mine's self-explanatory.

I never really thought about that...Whats your story?

**Dartgod** · 10-02-2006, 01:27 PM

A mod gave me this one. I have no idea what it means.

luv_2_rite (without the underscores was taken) is my email. I did luv2rite here (meaning pretty obvious). I switched to another lame name for awhile, but didn't like it. Most people on here called me luv anyway, so, when I had a mod change it back, I had him just make it luv instead of luv2rite.

I understand one of our long time posters is a fan of the input/output interface for wide area networks.

During a bb argument in the past, someone once called me an argumentative terrorist. Hence 'Hamas'. Jenkins comes from Leroy, hero of WOW fame.

I'm a test animal at the Centers for Disease Control.

I'm obviously from Idaho.

The name "Chenz" is a play on my nickname "Chenny"(you don't get to pick your nickname), and Chenny comes from my last name, Chenoweth. and the "A!" is just like saying "hay!" except it sounds cooler, and it is also my first initial.

A!
