The late, not-so-great, “ **2 1/2 Inches of Fun** ”. Best thing about him was his username.

\*\*Czarcasm \*\*is my favorite username. That he’s a moderator makes it even funnier.

I like so many, especially when they are punny but since I miss this poster I’ll say Pink Freud.

Honorable mention goes to Candid Gamera.

For some reason, I love the name **Thudlow Boink**. Sometimes that name just gets stuck in my head like an earworm.

**Tsar Chasm** was a good one, although short-lived.

I like **MissTake**. It’s a good match for her, considering she plays poker and she’s a child support enforcement officer.

unauthorized cinnamon

I’ve been enjoying her posts and her user name for a long time here. I didn’t find out until recently that I’ve known her under a different name for over a decade. I even met her father-in-law years ago!

One of the coolest usernames i’ve came across is Merciful Lee Dickins.  
Interestingly, it was he who coined the term sock-puppet for an alternate account.

On another board I frequent there’s a user named **Czechnology**. He also happens to be a moderator. Hmm…

The very one I came in to post; I later discovered that the name came from an episode of **Invader ZIM** (specifically, “Tak, the Hideous New Girl”).

I already nominated my best in a similar thread, so I won’t name him again for fear of being a sycophant. Right Bosda ? 🙂
