I don’t like the name Forbin, but when I joined I didn’t know that I could have that screenname. I had been around computers just long enough to know that they didn’t like two files/same name. Since I used Umberto on another board, I didn’t figure I could use it again.
Boy that was dumb.
P.S. The other board stinks on ice. It got way off topic a long time ago, and never got back. I rarely even lurk there now. I much prefer SDMB, and wish I had the SN I liked here.
Well, considering that my username is usually taken, I have a lot of practice choosing alternatives.
Right now, if I were signing up here for the first time, some of the frontrunners would be Aelliana, Ryasha and Lady Death. The first two are characters from novels.
I am dead0man everywhere. Its unique so I never have to worry about someone else taking it before me. If I try to use it somewhere and it says its taken, I assume it was me many moons ago so I try all my assorted passwords until one ussually works. There was that time I tried to start up a Delta Force clan and I was dead0manwtf on a board or 2. That, thankfully, only lasted a couple of weeks. In the only chat room I frequent I am dead0man or something with “punk” in it. I went with punk when I was single because the ladies dont talk to guys named dead0man for some reason. I’m currently “dead0punk” and “punkatwork” in the chat room right now.
dead0man…thats a zero, please dont call me dead oman
Bean or Beanzilla
I’m one of the two most other places I go online - mostly Beanzilla, but I wasn’t using it at the time I registered here. I’ve considered changing, but haven’t been motivated to.
