Phoenix Network Forums

Well i think everybody uses them. I want to know what thus your nickname means and why you chose it.
My nick represents a dinosaur species resembling T-REX and geticus is related to Dacia former country in today Romania check wikipedia for further info.
I chose it cuz hmmmm i thought it was original combines a dinosaur species((( yes i like dinosaurs)))))) with my home country and its pretty obscure also

Here is what my nick says:
deb - debian os user
eax - IA-32 CPU
cc - gnu gcc compiler user

I wanted to add something about the assembly language ( to show of ) but, damn, the nick was going large.

Well, I chose this nick ages ago because i thought it decribed me quite well... I usually did not talk that much... at least not to people i don't consider close friends...
but funnily enough, i know a lot of chatrooms where i often was the one who keeps the chat going on... but chatting, and forums and mails etc are not the same a real person-to-person contact, eh? =)
Another reason was that it was the only nick that was available pretty much everywhere i wanted to use it... nowerdays, there sadly are already a fre silentguys out there... i really hat that guy on efnet (i think) that is connected almost 24/7 and using the silentguy nick... i know i had it longer, but he is the more persistent one

sp1k3R, I dont know why I choosed it. It just fellt good. I've used for about 3 years.

heh that happens to a lot of people lately; it's like a large lack of originality thats when nicks licke hitman12343 or arorn_90 start to appear; i knew the first guy to use beholder on almost every forum and now he is surronded by little beholder clones(beeeh0lder)

sp1k3r your not the only one who doesnt know what his nick represents, means..... i have a friend in your same situation

I've chose this nickname, because I want to fix bugs like @bug :_)

I have decided also to ask you why do you choose certain videos or images and what do they represent like the 11:50 from debeaxxc and the clip from fixz.

Mine is the digital doomsday clock. I like to keep the time.

i have choosed this nickname because is my realname )

Yeah i get it translatin adi the wolf

Ever heard a Londoner try and say William? Theres mine.

root (from the *nix poweruser we all gag on)
land (second part of my first name)
rootland because my real name is roeland and in holland oe is pronounced the same as 'oo' from root in english.

So its still very much like my real name yet has strong bands with computers, I like it, I also go with the handle of Dreamcatcher on various IRC's/sites but thats for legacy reasons

Samppa - An old nickname from rl I like to use. Imaginative, eh?


As for signatures etc, I usually go for anything that has the potential to be funny. Sometimes I go through multiple sigs in a month, sometimes the same sig sticks for years. Depends on the forum.

Wow im really surprised people here really choose inteligent nicknames most people i have met sso far on the net have cliche crap nicks this is the first place where i see something original
Anyway Wiliamm is that cat a londoner ???if not whats her story???
