[http://spengler.atimes.net](http://spengler.atimes.net) nick: Socky \<----got banned and then reallowed on the forum, but my original user name remained banned due to the original runner of the site leaving and keeping his power over the site, but not engaging with the site at all anymore. So teh mods who are still there allow me on, but the absentee landlord hasn’t given the all-clear for my old username, so I made the name ‘Socky’ for what has become my permanent sock-puppet account. ---

My usernames get less creative over time, starting with Weirdguy as my first Internet email address in 1994 (based on my BBS nickname from the late 80s The Weird Guy), then Canuckguy (when my wife thought I shouldn’t be thinking of myself as “weird”) - where I’m still registered as at Wikipedia (though that isn’t an “Internet Forum” per the OP) to dhkendall being my _nom de geek_ pretty much everywhere now, including the Forums I go to the most (well, really, the only two), here and the [Jeopardy! fan site](http://boards.sonypictures.com/boards//forumdisplay.php?f=11) (fan from way back, actively trying to get on the show - I know other Dopers have (curious as to which, but won’t officially ask here as that’d be a thread hijack, might start another thread asking somewhere, most logical place would be the Cafe)) ---

I lurk on a lot of forums like jref, etiquette hell, and jezebel. But the forums I participate in a lot are on Fark, Beer Advocate, LibraryThing, and Comics Curmudgeon. ---

> [@StoutHearted](#): > > Comics Curmudgeon. Oh, how could I forget [Comics Curmudgeon](http://joshreads.com)? I’ve known the guy who runs the site for years before the CC existed, and was more active on it before (but still usually didn’t have time to read all the comments or comment myself), but now only check the site about once a fortnight or so. ☹ Just because I’ve been too busy for this fine site doesn’t mean the rest of y’all shouldn’t be! This reminded me of another similar one (although this and CC are more blogs than forums) that I used to frequent more, but now not so much, [Strange Maps](http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/) - being a geography geek, it’s only natural. ---
