Okay, we've lots of Usernames on IRC, and on the forums.

What inspired you to use them?

I am Thomas_not_very_wise because I often act before thinking and speak when I ought to stfu.

VanillaPudding

I picked Derf because it spells my name backwards.

derfo

I PICKED VANILLAPUDDING BECAUSE IT'S WHAT I LICK OUT OF MY PEEHOLE

Ebok

Ebok is really my name.

TheMacPanther

TheMacPanther was chosen to represent our struggle.

Damn Microsoft always keepin' the Mac man down.

(For anyone who doesn't get that one, it is a allusion to the Black Panthers)

Nickless

I couldn't think of a cool nickname.

UnholyWon

UnholyWon was given to me by SevereMeltdown.

He made me the account and told me to start playing. Been playing ever since.

Sternhund

Original username was Stardog. Made it when I was making a Starcraft account. You know, STARcraft, and I like DOGS. Then someone named it in Deutsch and it caught on well with me.

MisterBriggs

HALFBROOD is obv a starcraft name, also.

Caster13

When I played AD&D with my cousins, my first character was Terry the Spellcaster.
 
When I started doing stuff on the internet, I started using Spellcaster. Then just shortened it.

Ranek

Ranek was my first char on the server... Which I don't remember where I got from, I think from a video game character. It was not so long ago.

DangerousDan

i was shit at counter strike
i walked one morning to the fair

Velve

I was obsessed with the movie 'Blade' when I was about 12, and started getting into drow at the same time. Velve is blade in the drow language, so it stuck. Too lazy to think up a better name.

TheImpossibleDream

This was the name of my priests Mace before I switched it up to Valnyr in WoW.

Naga comes from back when I only played as random in rated games on warcraft 3 in the old times when you got Naga icons next to your name. It was original "TheNaga" because you'd get a different naga depending on how many games you won. I just never shortened it.

Listen in Silence

I was listening silently to an In Flames song when I was thinking to change my account, since I'd grown tired of 'Kinsbane'.

It also suits my IRL personality flawlessly. Sadly, I'm much more talkative in text.
