Why did you choose the forum name you have now?
 
I chose mine to show my likelihood for metroid. That and I use it in every forum, chatroom, MMO really.

oddveteran93 01-16-2006 05:04 PM

Well I call myself oddveteran because I've played more than half of the games ever created by OW and that I'm really good at them. I used to have a username on this forum with 81 posts and people knew me but then I moved and didn't have the internet for a while so I forgot my username. But now I'm back.

Cullen Heath 01-16-2006 05:07 PM

Cullen Dean Heath is my real name so that pretty much sums it up.

mitsur 01-16-2006 05:16 PM

Dunno, just picked it out from a dartboard after one of my friends wrote it down as a joke.

AquaticAmbi 01-16-2006 05:46 PM

Um... are you asking why OWF is called OWF? Because otherwise, wrong forum, buddy. This forum is for questions related to these specific forums.

oddveteran93 01-16-2006 05:51 PM

He's asking why you chose you name. Why you chose "AquaticAmbi" as your name.

AquaticAmbi 01-16-2006 06:03 PM

Ah, well even more reason that it doesn't belong here.

CheeseOfGlory 01-16-2006 08:37 PM

Hell, I've been using the same sn for practically everything online since I was in 6th grade. I can't remember why or how I chose it, though I do recall some strange obsession with cheese I had at the time.

Now I shall sleep, in erotic anticipation of my calculus midterm exam in the morning.

Cullen Heath 01-16-2006 09:02 PM

Ouch, Calculus. Good luck with that;).

Now that's true commitment!

My one's a bit of a long story. One of my friends (whom I led with at a youth group) started calling me "nate_dog' out of the blue (My name is Nathan, in case you didn't realise). Then everyone started chanting it and barking at me.

Anyway, not long afterwards I needed to subscribe to Yahoo Groups for my youth group and I couldn't come up with anything to use as my logon name. nate_dog was taken so I added the _woof at the end.

And soon after that I was signing up to OWF and I still couldn't come up with anything better so I used it again.

There have been a few times since that I have thought of better names I could have used but I figure it's too late now.

Cullen Heath 01-16-2006 10:12 PM

How old were you, Nate?

T-nex 01-16-2006 10:17 PM

Dunno why i chose it... I made another account that didnt work, and then i just couldnt come up with something and typed something in that i had just thought of.... I don't really like my username :( But im stuck with it forever XD

Cullen Heath 01-16-2006 10:22 PM

I'm sure that you would be able to change it once.
But.......aren't you a Moderator:fuzconf:?

Xavier 01-16-2006 10:30 PM

Simply because my name realy is Xavier...
And I wanted people to see I was working on an other site where I was called Xavier too (it was Oddworld Maniac)

Dipstikk 01-16-2006 10:46 PM

I thought the word "dipstick" was the funniest damn thing in the world when I was 15. Now it's just used for continuinity.

Havoc 01-16-2006 10:53 PM

Before I took the name Havoc I never realy had a steady username. When I was young in my early chatroom days I called myself MI6, after the British inteligence agency, cuz I'm a big James Bond fan :P. But it soon showed that people would confuse it to much with Mission Impossible 6 (wtf).
Then in 2000 (I think) C&C Renegade came out. The storyline evolved around a GDI commando with the nickname Havoc, which I found a pretty cool nickname so I started using that instead.
Next to that, right now I also use the name TigerXtrm, mostly ingame though.

I think I was 20.

Good way of putting it. That's exactly how I feel about my one and it's why I have used it in a few other places. One, specifically.

Just because im a mod, doesn't mean i can do what the hell i want.. Besides, it would confuse people if i suddenly changed my name :(

Rex Tirano 01-17-2006 12:36 AM

I like your name T-Nex. :) [But yes, don't let him know about your all powerfulness. ;) We don't want an uprising.]

I got my name because I'm crap at coming up with names and such so I stole it from my friend. Ah well, she got over it. :p

- Rexy

T-nex 01-17-2006 01:43 AM

I like your name ^_^ It's so cute lol....

Dark Elite_H2 01-17-2006 02:22 AM

It's obvious how I got my name.
I've created a character that was nicknamed the Dark Elite, and, well, you can figure easily how the _H2 came in...

Abeguy 01-17-2006 04:53 AM

no, no I can't
I don't remember why I made my name...uhh...no, I don't

OANST 01-17-2006 05:03 AM

Mine is a slightly different version of the slogan from AO.

Mojo 01-17-2006 09:42 AM

Well, since I think Scrabs are the uberest creatures in Oddworld, and because I'm a megalomaniac, AlphaScrab was born.

Oddish 01-17-2006 10:12 AM

I knew I was at an oddworld forums, so I wanted to have an oddworldish name. I didn't want to call myself Slig something or Abe something, I wanted a name that wasn't a specific character, just plain odd and uniqu. Odd seemed to simple, I wanted something groovey, stlyish, oddish... that's the one! I though is was genuis, but it just turned out to be a piss take. And it reminded people of Poke'mon.

AquaticAmbi 01-17-2006 12:45 PM

Hah, I completely forgot to explain mine last night... Instead I went to bed. =/

Back when I had AOL, I used several screen names; my favorite was AquaAmbi. But after switching to Juno, I discovered I could no longer use that name, so I created AquaticAmbi. The "Aqua"/"Aquatic" part is for my everlasting love for everything ocean-y. Sea life, scuba diving, the beach, marine biology, etc. :)

Wait a sec... what slogan?



Nate: When you WERE 20!

Dipstikk: When you WERE 15!

How old are you now?
No offense but, you guys are OLD!

Havoc 01-17-2006 03:29 PM

*Grabs fake Cullen and smashes him into a wall then hits him*

What did you do with the real Cullen! The real Cullen is an Oddworld freak and should know something like that!

*Hits again*

WHERE IS HE!*

*Hits and kills*

Where... oops.


Seriously, please tell me you're joking...

Slig outlaw 01-17-2006 04:09 PM

I thought of the name Slig outlaw because the hole game stranger's wrath is about outlaw's so i just thought add slig on it.

Man, that was hilarious!

It is most likely something really obvious, that I REALLY SHOULD KNOW (I probably do, I just don't know what you're talking about)!
And when I realize what it is, I will fell like such an idiot that I will have to do that^ to myself.
But for now, I have not the slightest idea of what slogan you guys mean.






EDIT:
Ohhh, FUDGE SICKLE!
I'm an IDIOT!
I feel so dumb, I can't believe that his username's meaning went straight through my THICK HEAD!

NEW AND TASTY!
I'm sorry, I'm dissapointed in myself.
