Not just the forums. Lock your past self's doors! Bar the temporal windows from years ago! Nowhere was safe!

It's a pun, ovciously. The Sa'ar Chasm is either a tourist attraction on Vulcan or a coal-rich hole in the ground in western Germany.

I'm assuming I don't need to explain what I'm punning.

Can you say, Groan?

And as for why i'm into Trills, if it was culturaly okay for me to get spots tattooed all the way down my body, I would. My Favorite Character is Trill and there's just something sexy about those damn spots, okay? :P

yep that was Nan, Zeke. Because Admiral was taken by someone (doo de doo) she suggested Commodore.

My name has an interesting history. Sorta like Zeke's. But different. Ok it's exactly like Zeke's. I came online and decided to use my nickname from my High School friend's and (Sab) and at Deltachat everyone was getting ranks (thanks to Nan for starting that) and someone (thanks, Kellie!) suggested Admiral. Of course who is going to pass up the rank of Admiral? HA! I outrank everyone and then the added bonus came with Zekey being my second in command. Yep that's the story behind my nick. Now it just goes with me everywhere. Pretty boring, huh?

BTW Deltachat is celebrating it's fifth anniversary today!

My name used to be my MSN name, but I keep changing it, but I liked KillerGodMan, because it made me look like A Mortal Killer God, I kinda got the Idea from Dogma (Loki) and ya know...

But elsewhere, I had a different name, On MSN I go by my real name, on fanfiction.net I go by Mr. Kyle, Mr_Kyle_The_Evil on AIM, Mr Kyle the Crazy Evil One on a forum, Mr Kyle the Crazy Guy on another, and Bob_Hope_The_Evil_One on a MSN group.

I like having different names everywhere, I don't know why...

Could I point out to Sab that she doesn't outrank me....*I'M* a Chancellor -in fact, a SUPREME chancellor....and the first name must be a part of Dormir the french verb - the Valorum in TPM is called Finis - I thought this was incredibly daft....

This name I first came up with for the Dilbert.com site itself for the long since defunct Lazy Entrepreneur section. I only ever actually made one submission, but I liked the name so much (an obvious combination of Dilbert and Star Wars that luckily I seem to have been the first to make) that I've since used it everywhere else on the web. I have though used other screennames, on the very odd occasion, usually where PointyHairedJedi is just too long to fit, and in those cases I generally pick CHOAM.

In college I made the mistake of mentioning to my funloving, slightly sadistic friends on the newspaper staff that I hadn't ever really acquired a nickname. They were delighted to be handed the opportunity to gave me one--the nerdiest one they could think of. (Primary inspiration was probably the nerdiest Muppet, but I'm not certain of that.) To this day, whenever my best friend from college catches me doing something nerdy (like, say, writing parodies of thirty-year-old science fiction tv shows) he'll scrunch up his face and call me that name.

Usually I tell people it's because of my fondness for scooter pies, which is plausible--I do love scooter pies--but sadly wrong.

In recent years I've resorted to using it online because (a) my first name is really common and (b) my last name is really common and therefore (c) all permutations of some or all of said names are really common. But Scooter or Scootermark, for better or for worse, are not.

Knowing that your online banking system knows you as Scooter makes doing your finances just that little bit less stark and oppressive, too.

Look, everybody! He hasn't seen the Dune miniseries!

Fresh meat! :twisted:

As for me, having no nicknames in RL I, similar to Alexia, wanted to nab a Voyager name but nothing really jumped out at me. The next female character that came to mind was Kira, even though I wasn't a DS9 regular at the time, and the rest is history.

"Standback" I took at the age of 12 from a character in a Dragonlance book. Specifically, a gnome in a quite minor short story in one of the early short story collections (when Dragonlance was still any good). Standback was a typical gnome who built a wide variety of brilliant-yet-utterly-useless devices. I liked the name, I liked gnomes, and I needed a screenname; it's worked out pretty well. It's a good name that's nice and memorable with no knowledge of the story or setting (which is very good, because few people know the story and I no longer associate myself with the setting very much ).

I've used it on a Discworld MUD, on the Kencyclopedia where I ran a contest and answered gnome questions for a while, and other random places. The only forum in which I don't go by Standback is on the Israeli Roleplaying Phorums, where I just didn't manage to make "Standback" stick, but suddenly acquired a bit of a reputation as "Zivities", which is what you get when you squash my RL first and last names together (no "W" in Hebrew, it's a "V" sound instead). Hey, whatever sticks.
