No big thing man, it's just my initials, sorry.

nullterminator
November 1st, 2001, 07:18 PM
I chose my particular handle because I wanted something that was computer-related. A null terminator (\0) is used to close strings in C/C++.
Ex., char word[] = {'s', 't', 'r', 'i', 'n', 'g', '\0'}
This is my first post. You've managed to break me out of my shell, eesy. lol :D Later.

RogueSpy
November 1st, 2001, 09:14 PM
Rogue comes from the mod to my fav. game. . . Rainbow6. Mod is RogueSpear. The Spy part. . . well. . . . Im not authorized to release that kind of information to civilians. ;)
Hence the name RogueSpy. . .
Conf1rm3d_K1ll
November 1st, 2001, 09:20 PM
My handle comes from my younger and more malicious days...
Confirmed kill- the name given to a defaced website, an owned box or a server that has had a successful DoS attack launched against it.
Like I said, I was alot more malicious in my youth. These days Im too busy just trying to figure out the tricky parts of Linux and keep myself outta trouble!
tripstone
November 1st, 2001, 09:45 PM
I used to be burly_tuner (aka big joint) was getting tired of it...started just typing random stuff into notepad at my buddies house (I was bored) and tripstone came out of my brain through all the channels it takes through my fingers and onto the screen...liked it so much...that i ve had it ever since...7 years now...but i noticed now that there are other tripstones out there...i dont remeber seeing them until a few years after i got mine...so i like to think of myself as the original tripstone
MrLinus
November 1st, 2001, 09:55 PM
My name came from my cat (yes, I know.. lameness). Originally, back in 93 it was Mittens (the cat's actual name) but while on IRC someone else said that he was Mittens and was recognized as such. He asked if I would consider changing.
I thought what the hell and added the Ms to refer to my gender. ;).
Nowadays I'm pretty much the only MsMittens I've ever seen online and even have a vanity domain. ;)

Mine means breakpoint on execution, i only use it to avoid my inbox being filled with shit.
Dome
November 2nd, 2001, 12:11 AM
Mine is actualy kind of stupid, when i was a lil kid i used DoMe95 as my AOL screen name (Do Me, hehe i was a kid)
and well after a while people started calling me DoMe and then it evolved on to Dome, kind of lame, but hey how many "Dome" do you know???? I have never seen any.
Terr
November 2nd, 2001, 12:19 AM
Hmm... anyone else every play Sierra's online game The Realm? It has since been tossed over to "Codemasters" or something. Anyway, I was one of the original beta testers... I stopped playing quite a while ago. It was an online multiplayer RPG, basically. Not 3d, however. Anyway, I was trying to find a good name to use and I thought about Teran from... what was the book? I think Ursula Le Guinn was the author... black cauldron something. Anyway, I wasn't super-enamored of the character, but I decided to use Terran. This was before starcraft came out and everyone suddenly got the impression that ANYONE using that name was automatically using it as the latin meaning and was also 'stealing' it from starcraft.
Anyway, I decided to henceforth use Terr, since that's what everyone used as a nickname for me anyway on the Roleplay chat channel in the game. (Channel 2)
The [HvC] tag is from when I was in Tribes (1) (Online First-person shooter, teamplay), so it's not a permanent fixture to the name. I just use the tag because... well... I forget. HvC is short for Havoc, which is the tribe/mod which I had a lot to do with. If the site is up (another HvC guy runs the server, and it has occasional outages) You can see the Tribes 2 site of it at http://www.havoctribe.org , which is my work, or the Tribes 1 site at http://www.planettribes.com/havoc/ , which is not mine.

my handle is pretty self-explanatory. i'm not really a psycho, though, just... weird. and i didn't want to use my other handles.
:D
Cyberlord
November 2nd, 2001, 12:38 AM
My handle...Mmmm, it just came up, i was with a friend of mine and we thought it would be like computer-internet related u know.
Maybe it's kind of lame, but, what the hell.
The only thing that matters is what we have in our minds, not the way we call ourselves...:-)
Alcatraz
November 2nd, 2001, 12:47 AM
I've always liked Alcatraz, the place, and the two movies involving it that I've seen. The latest was 'The Rock' which was a very good movie. Plus, I just like the sound of it.

8*B@LL
November 2nd, 2001, 12:52 AM
well, sence sombody else admited theirs was from gaming, i wont feel like such an idiot(ty terr :) )
anyway...a few years ago i was starting to play Half-Life and got into TFC(online multiplayer class based teamplay mod for HL...mostly capture the flag type stuff.). i used to go by PoisonFr@G, for poison frag. i liked it cause you could infect people to kill them. everyone thought it said "poison frog"...i didnt like that and decided to go with something else. one of the spray-paints they had in the game was an eight ball so i wanted to go with that...the problem was that there were like a million "EightBall"s around, so i wanted to be different. i changed the Eight to the number 8, the a to an "@" and added the "*" just for good measure, hence 8*B@LL...i have never seen anyone in any game with that exact spelling of the name.
8trak
November 2nd, 2001, 02:02 AM
I've had 3 handles... the first 2 were geeky,
mjollnir, and then nonex
How i got this one was kinda kool,
Almost all of my friends are breakdancers, and breakers usually have bboy names that are really similar to hacker's handles...
Anyhow, we were talking about that one day,
and someone asked what my friends name was originally,
and I said 8trak.
Then everyone told me that i was wrong, and that they couldnt remember anyone called 8trak, but it was cool.
So then I was 8trak.
Just somthing that spilled out of my head one day.

November 2nd, 2001, 02:09 AM
Mine is just an inside joke - though it's not that inside. Just ask an italian what my name means and hope you don't offend them. :D
Shmoo
November 2nd, 2001, 02:17 AM
A couple of years ago I went to go see a movie with a friend of mine and there was some trailer (I think coke) where it was like a black and white cartoon thing, its hard to explain. Then a "Shmoo" was drawn on the screen, it looked like a seal. Its the way it was said though. It was just ****in hilarious. Afterwards as the years progressed, if we were playin a game or something the kind where you would have to input your own name; then we would always put like shmoo. :rolleyes:
kushiel
November 2nd, 2001, 02:57 AM
Kushiel is an angel. He guards hell with a flaming whip. I thought it would sound pretty cool with mythology tied in with it.
Eversor
November 2nd, 2001, 03:28 AM
Well I dunno if you have ever played a tabletop minature game called Warhammer 40k but its the name of a assassin in the game. I used him and won many a time and went online to find out what his name (Eversor Assassin) meant and found that in Latin
eversor: one who destroys
So I choose it because I have a bad tendency to break stuff at my jobs and such (on accident) plus me and alcohol put together make it worse so there you have it.

freeOn
November 2nd, 2001, 05:38 AM
I put two words together free, and On because I was young and stupid. Plus My refigerator used to leek, and I once drank freeOn from a car and had to get my stomach pumped. I have a whole in my throat from it but, I figure it's just another place to put a cigarette. I can blow O rings out of it to. That's my main trick.
No I'm just kidding no offense to the people with whole's in there throats. I know I shouldn't joke about that shit because it will happen to my kids or somthing like that. Isn't that the rule when you say bad things or make fun of retards. Well I just made it up, And I like it so....der,der,der, der what ever that means. I also liked my avatar until someone stole it.
eesy
November 2nd, 2001, 05:39 AM
i get my own from, well there has been many "generations" of the name,
1st- EEK, my last name starts with an e-i-k, so all my friends call me eek
2nd- EESYEEK, i was trying to get a name with eek in it for aim (pathetic i know) so i took the rapper's name eesy-e and placed eek in it for eesy-eek
3rd- EESY, i started to dislike the name eesyeek, so i dropped the eek part and just took eesy, i was going to have a biblical name like cain (first murderer) or abel (first murdered innocent) but i like eesy too much, and i have found on any internet account it hasn't been taken, so its safe to say its original
thanks to all for posting
Cmd_Spook
November 2nd, 2001, 06:37 AM
I got mine from vb and the x-files
in vb cmd stands for command. usually when you name a command button you name according: cmd_Nameofbutton
well I was programming and watching the xfiles and scully called maulder "Spookie" And it stuck with me. Over time I've dropped the "ie" thus creating Cmd_Spook
Now Cmd is also the short for Commandor for the Army. That is why I picked the icon I did.
KublaiKhan
November 2nd, 2001, 07:32 AM
I happen to like Coleridge, myself, so I took the name from his poem, Xanadu
--------
In Xasnadu did Kublai Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Unto a soundless sea.
------------
So what if he was on laudnanum(sp?) when he wrote it.....it's still a good poem, and I recommend that you read the whole of it.......

Matty_Cross
November 3rd, 2001, 05:27 AM
I got rather tired of the handle thingie, so I dropped it altogether and just use my name...
I used to have a few from my younger years... most were lame though... *shakes his head, remembering he was once called XS_InSaNiTy*:rolleyes:
The only thing close to a handle that I have kept is MrX, and thats only cos its my initials....

ZeroOne
November 3rd, 2001, 05:05 PM
This, ZeroOne, is my second handle. The first one was Starman, but I got enough of it a year or so ago when every time I arrived someone quoted David Bowie ("There's a staaarman waiting in the sky..."). :rolleyes: And it wasn't exotic enough. :p I made it up in just a few minutes while beginning my first Lord 2 game (a MUD game played in those old BBS's :)).
Then I wanted a name with some exotic letters, Z sounded good. The first word beginning with Z I came up with was Zero, but since that wouldn't be so good, I added One, which is much better. I also have accounts in some places with name "vs01": my initials + ZeroOne; vs is too short and vs1 sounds a bit miserable... Like "I didn't get the name Killer, so I am now Killer297, which was the first 'Killer' available"... ;)
ZeroOne might not be very unique, but at least its got "Z", which is an exotic letter, so it looks cool... :) And I don't personally know any other ZeroOnes.
-ZeroOne :cool:

FullySaturate
November 4th, 2001, 11:28 AM
This is a letter i sent to an old friend, it will explain the meaning behind "FullySaturat". After you read this I'm sure you will see that there could be no better handle to desribe who I really am.
Hello
I need to do a bit of venting, you don’t have to read this I don’t want to bore you. Just, you have always been there for me, you’re a good friend and right now there is know one who understands me better. I wish I had some one here to talk with, someone who can feel with me. I’m slowly destroying myself; every emotion, every thought, every breath I breath is being trapped within. All I need is to get it out but I don’t know how. This bit of venting will help for now, but it won’t suffice.
Frequently I find myself stuck in a cell with no doors, nowhere to go. I never seem to leave these cells, now practically an entire penal complex. Instead I redecorate and try to believe every thing is ok. More and more I’ve found myself jumping between cells, a prisoner of my own mind, if you will. Even still it goes deeper, a reoccurring pattern set off by ordered chains of events. I keep getting worse, either I’m sinking or the ceilings are raising regardless I feel smaller.
Often, I turn off, all the walls lift up and I can see but I’m not really there. I’m still sitting in my cell looking for a door, doing all I can to create one.
When I turn on, all the walls sink away as long as I’m fully saturated with something does not matter what or who. When I’m done or its over the walls return in there original state, door less. Sometimes bleaker and sometimes brighter but they always return.
I’ve learned to live within the confines of my cells and its killing me. I must escape, but how. Sometimes I hide the thoughts and feeling in a cell deep within my prison and feel as if I have forgotten. All it takes is the smallest of disturbances the smallest amount of reminiscing to throw back into even the deepest of cells.
Recently, in fact, last night I was ruthlessly hurled into a cell I’ve visited many of times. One of which, I thought I had fixed the broken knob and escaped into the brightness of day. But no, I’m in that cell now and its drearier than ever before. Its not so much the place I’m at that bothers me but that I thought I was through it and yet its still there and its gotten worse with my lacking visits. Are there other cells left neglected that I will one day be forced to visit again and will I be able to handle their darkness.
Thank you for letting me vent, it helped a bit.
Your unconditional friend

Mine because I remember Jack The Ripper story. Althought I'm not like him, but I like the name very much.
thinkt4nk
November 5th, 2001, 07:43 AM
i got mine from the Henry Rollins' spoken word album "Think Tank". I loved the album so much and I think the title pretty well describes my "lot in life" so I 14m3d the title out a little and came up with thinkt4nk.
ThePreacher
November 5th, 2001, 11:37 AM
My name actually was my second choice after I found that someone else already had my handle. Anyway I use this name because I often quote from the bible even though I don't attend church.
uraloony
November 5th, 2001, 08:26 PM
Heh mine was from the game Age of Empires: Rise of Rome. When you type in different numbers in the chat screen, different sounds/effects would sound (according to the number you put in.)
One of the sounds that came out was a man saying "You're a loony." So I shortened it to uraloony. :)
ThePreacher
November 13th, 2001, 08:40 AM
The reason behind the name. DC comics used to have an adult comic book called "Preacher". Anyway I only have one issue, the first, and it was super violent and pretty damn cool. This also explains my new avatar. Im not a "Jesus-Freak", I just like comic books.
zion1459
November 13th, 2001, 08:52 AM
i have a true horrorstorie behind my handle... There was a time when i used to just call myself "zion" but then a most annoying thing happened... some1 made a movie called Matrix (the movie r0x! and there were much rejoicing! weee!) but suddenly lots of scriptkiddies and gamers on the net were called zion... so I changed it to zion1459... the 1459 simply comes from the faq file RFC1459..... (and for those with an IQ below 100... zion means God, and the faq file is the IRC faq)

pwaring
November 13th, 2001, 03:59 PM
Not particulary interesting but my handle is the first letter of my forename followed by my surname, It's quick, easy to remember and indentify with, and it doesn't make me look like a sad lamer who has a handle like 'l33t h4x0r'.

cheez_cake
November 30th, 2001, 07:53 PM
well, like some I'm hiding from everyone that knows me because they will never know this handle, which gives me a sense of freedom and security. This id is not related to anything I do... although I have worked in an Italian restaurant before and good cheese cake is hard to find... then again I'm a sweet heart looking for a decent man that knows more about computers than how to turn on his pc and use the reboot button when he hangs up (maybe he will feed me cheese cake). I decided cheez_cake because it could be shortened to an affectionate term "c.c." or you could call me cheez. This comes from years of abuse growing up with nick names that I didn't like but learned to live with. (I still have quite a few with different groups of friends). Anything else you want to know then feel free to ask!

[WebCarnage]
November 30th, 2001, 10:09 PM
Well, this is actually my third handle I've used ever. It all started one day when I was looking for an email address. God, every name was taken. Even my own name (which is Ammar...who the hell is called Ammar?) was taken. So I was thinking, and see, I am (was) a subscriber to TwilightGavo Warez CD's. So my first handle was TwilightGavo56.
Then I just got bored with that and started thinking of another handle for myself. I wanted to put a name up that was catchy, yet got the feelings I had inside...No luck there. I settled with the name Asid (Acid), which got evolved to Asid_H4ck3r (hey don't laugh...i was like 12 or something).
Then finally I was reading one of my elite editions of Spiderman comic books. Well, actually Carnage. Which is where I got my name from. It's a three comic series with Venom, Spiderman, Carnage, and the Fantastic Four fighting. Well I *LOVE* Carnage the character (for all those of you who know of him you know what i'm talking about...). And the "Web" part I just got from Spiderman and Venom's "web" that they shot out. So I have a part of everybody in my name (Besides the F4...I just didn't like them at the time I guess). The brackets are just for show, make it look good and all. I think it's working too.
I also am *proud*, you could say, of my avatar. Just hope nobody takes it. Heh...i'm so sad...
*flips on TV to Cartoon Network* ... :borg:

November 30th, 2001, 11:46 PM
Well, my handle comes from the electric chair. Once upon a time, bah bah bah, they used to send bad, very bad people to sit on this chair and try to fry the sh1t out of them. They referred this chair as sparky, cause sparks would start flying when the power was turned on. So, that's what I heard. As for the numbers that's my identification number from prison. LOL
alleykat1us
December 5th, 2001, 05:30 AM
well, i am really into superstitions and phobias, as i like to study about them, pretty good for a teenager, eh? anyway, everyone knows about the black cat superstition. I chose bc_013 as my 1st handle cuz bc stood for black cat and 013 stood for 13 (the unlucky number, duh!) That evolved into blakat but blakat got old after a while. i got a new email recently and had to decide what to use as my name (not e-mail address part ((not)xxx@blah.com) but as the name that shows up when i send an email). I wanted to keep the cat part, i don't know why, and i had to decide upon a tough yet cool handle. I crossed my name (alex) with it and came up with Alleykat. Weird story, eh? A real weird one is when I started using griffinwing as a handle. I'm not going to get into tht one now. I've bored you enough.
Peace.

Grimlock was the leader of the Dinobots(The T-Rex)...powerful, cunning in battle, and gruff though good at heart...if not cursed with a bit of a speech impediment :)
So a bunch of years back when I began my cyber-nerding in chat rooms, I needed a nick..."Rob" didn't seem cool enough, and I didn't wanna be real nerdy and pick "Optimus" or "Megatron" (Starscream sounded too much like a girl's name, according to my buds) so it went to my 4th favorite char: Grimmy.
Then as I went through some teenage years, got out of brainwashing sch...erm, catholic school, and developed a personality...I realized it fit me pretty well :)
So I shortened it to Grim (To be all 3l337 and stuff)...but that was taken, so I added "Man"
Ta-da.

Having zero patience I hit the keyboard with both hands after several names were already used. Wouldn't you know it stuck for about seven years now.

Lotsa years ago after being at the pub I logged on irc quite drunk, I don´t know how but I ended up with the nick Puh-Bear after that. Puh is the word describing the sound of exhaling in swedish but also the swedish short for Pooh (as in winnie the pooh) A girlfriend started giving me Pooh stuff and others picked it up too. A bit after that Pooh-Bear was available on DalNet and I registered it, since then I´ve gotten used to it. :D

After trying dif handles when i was younger and in hanging about in chatrooms like excite (hangs head in shame) - I decided to change it when a friend of mine got me into irc. The guy who got me started in irc had a website called Giragast.com (http://www.giragast.com) - the viking hell so I thought as a bit of a piss take I would use the word for the viking heaven valhalla, but seeing as that was taken i tweaked it a little and came uip with valhallen - what started off as a piss rip has now stuck tho it has variations: val` val_O `-val-` v_Ln etc
:wow:

I live in the 'big city now. Hillbilly is what my newfound cityfolk friends call me. I came from a small farming community. Gosh, how I miss the simple life.:cool:
souleman
December 5th, 2001, 02:44 PM
I chose souleman because I am neither man, nor wo_man. I live in the spirt world, ie. soule man. Oh wait, that would be soulman wouldn't it.
Ok, then it is because I live on the bottom of a shoe, ie soule man. Oh wait, that would be soleman.
Maybe I just chose it because I am confused. Or maybe it was from the old Blues song..."Im a soulman" and from the ancient king Soulemian or however it was spelled. Or maybe it was because my friends called me that irl because I am male, and my last name is Soule. Not really sure though.

zaddikim

zaddikim is the plural of zadok (and I know there's a Zadok552 or something in AO), an Aramaic word from about 2000 years ago, associated with the Essene community in ancient Jerusalem. Zadok means either "son of light" or "Son of truth", (but my memory is a little fuzzy on that point). I just was struck by the power of the word itself, not for any specific religious significance. I've used it for about 7 or 8 years now. there are a few "zaddikim"' out there, but there are usually numbers appended to them. Works for me.
