Some of you guys frequent a lot of forums, and some of you guys are just long-time internet veterans. What’s the best username you’ve ever seen? It can be catchy, witty, funny, unique, or just plain badass. I’ll edit this post with the usernames in your replies, so please **put the username at the very top of your post**. For me, it would have to be inDe\_eD. He posts on the official DotA forums. Oh, and please **don’t be funny and say your own name**. That’s just lame. THE LIST: [ol] [li]inDe\_eD[/li][/ol] Go! ---

Quasimodem. I don’t frequent many boards, but his name here always gives me a chuckle and the thought of "that’s a creative name) comes to mind whenever I see it. That being said, you do know you can’t go back and edit your first post, right? We’re only given a 5 minute window to edit our posts, then it’s there as how you entered it. The Powers That Be put it that way so no one can go back and claim they didn’t say something by editing their original post. But I did abide by your rule of putting the name first in the post. ---

From the first message board I ever joined: **SmirkingSheep** and **Song\_Of\_The\_Shoebox**. One had left before I joined, and one I think I only saw a couple of times. But I love the names. ---

I was a big fan of **omzebras** , and I have a soft spot for our handful (or more) of Marx Brothers related names like **Exapno Mapcase** and **RTFirefly**. ---

The best newbie name I’ve seen recently is **OccamsTaser** , which is both clever and an amusing concept. Older folk…too many good ones to remember, let alone name. ---

My favorite username of all time is definitely **ellis dee.** A long time ago, I came up with the name “Ellis D. Tripp.” I thought of that on my own, though I was obviously not the first to do so, since there seem to be a hell of a lot of other people online with that as a username. ---
