[Siquo]

Been using Siquo since... '95 I guess? Before that, used several names on BBS'es and stuff. Mostly DARKEVILHAXSHADOW666 stuff, because adolescent.

I chose it for sounding like sicko (which I was), and I'm still the only Siquo on the net, AFAIK. Sometimes Siquo Shodan, and my female in-game characters often have a name derived from Imajica.

[Cheeetar]

I use several different usernames depending on what the context of the site is, but Cheeetar is my all-purpose username which I use for most stuff.

[Caz]

I be Caz in most places. Sometimes with a second word added though.

[Dutchling]

.

[eerr]

I've been using eerr for quite some time.

A username usually not taken, except by like one person who I lectured about picking a good username

Super short, ect.

[Scelly9]

I'm Scelly9/Nafar/Mark Denoron/Jack Dendy depending on where I am on the nets.

[Blargityblarg]

Bay12 is my third real online hangout; first was Runescape, where I had more characters than I can remember, though my 'main' was waaaaaaaaaa3 (that's ten A's, folks). Later I went to the Bolter and Chainsword, under my own name in UpperCamelCase, and now I'm here. I don't consider either of the previous two to have really given me a 'handle', so I'm BlargityBlarg, Balrgityblarg or Blargity Blarg for most things, though I have been recently leaning towards Billy Keys' Killer Bees; the issue is that's way too long for anything much.

[MrWiggles]

My first internet handle was *cough* notsogood666.

[Patchouli]

I've no consistency at all. They change depending on what I like at the time of my registration.

I love Steam for the ability to change my name on the fly.

[Siquo]

My first internet handle was *cough* notsogood666.

Yeah, we all been there
My first was *myinitials*666 on a dial-up telnet MOO. Just googled for it, and it's still alive, and still asleep.

The semi embarrassing part is that when I switched over to MrWiggles for IM handles, to let my friend ID the new tag, I kept the last numbers...

[DarkWolfXV]

I called myself DarkWolf when i played Diablo II as druid lycantrophe, DarkWolf was taken so i added X, when i played runescape i had to add XV instead, so now it is like it is.

[Reudh]

Wow.

Had to go through some ancient internet pages to find what I have been known as.

My very first username ever, before I knew what an internet was, was on Neopets, at the age of 10. It was Asher199.
I then used that same one for Runescape in early 2003, when I was 11, later jettisoning it in favour of Asher198. (Why? I don't know.)

I used to browse a little finnish indie racing game by the name of GeneRally's forums, under the name "Ungoliant4." Because giant spider.
This was ~2004. Ungoliant made just one contribution, a tiny wee three-polygon car. That forum is no longer existent, replaced by a new one long since. (Generally is ridiculously light on system requirements; its cars can have no more than 40 polygons.)

Later on, I used Ungoliant on Crankeye / RMRK, then replaced that with Fenrir, starting up a little thread on a game that I was making circa 2006 to try and learn the RPG Maker series. It was tough. I never posted again after submitting my idea and having it shot down. Neither user is findable.

I also began playing AdventureQuest at this time. I had two characters, a Guardian called Fenrir, and a f2p called Sticky who was promptly deleted (as they do to free players after a set time not playing.)

After that, I really only continued with Asher198. I made various new accounts on Runescape, among them another "Ungoliant4", "Dr Bootsy", "Axen Renai".
Of them only Axen received half hearted attention.

Until I really began to use the internet in earnest again in 2009, I started playing World of Warcraft on a private server. There were SO MANY NAMES. My username was 'Harya', like a garbled version of 'How are ya?'. I had various player names, so many that I'll list them here. I should be able to find our old guild website.

Aha, found it.
Our recruitment video, made by one of our 14 year old members.
And our other site after we swapped servers.

Nismo was my first, a friend had made his character on the same server and called it "Mugen", Mugen being Honda's racing unit I named mine Nismo, for Nissan. Just because we both played shamans.

Leitdor was my Troll Warrior; pronounced "Light-door" but most people called it Leetdor. Pretty cool dude.

Spoiler: Leitdor. (click to show/hide)

If I remember right, I show up in that recruitment video as one of the shamans, on Nismo.

Varok, Orc Hunter.

Elyn, Blood Elf Paladin.

Illius, Undead Priest.

Haemonoth, Orc Death Knight.


I think that that's all of the world of warcraft ones.

I remember planning to swap Asher198 to a newer name, after going through a series of names:

Llansing, Reudh, Ruadh, Rauthaz were the frontrunners; Llansing was just gibberish, Reudh was a bastardisation of Ruadh (gaelic for Red), and Rauthaz was proto-germanic for Red. See a theme here? I never ended up changing it, but more or less everywhere that I started calling myself Lord Reudh or Reudh is a result of that.


(Oh, and I forgot, in my early SA-MP days I was [AS]Dincht).

[Aramco]

I use the same username for pretty much everything BUT bay12 (Though sometimes I have to change it when I forget what it is or something)

[Aqizzar]

I'd never used the same handle at two different places, before I picked "Aqizzar".  I picked it as a really oblique reference to the first handle I ever used, and I knew I was onto something when I learned that particular combination of letters had never been put together that way in the history of Google.

Of course, now I turn up a shitload of results, and I'm registered at several different places.  It's certainly recognizable and not-very-confusing (except the Q thing).  Which actually does make me a little paranoid, since there's a handful of people who know my name and couple photos of me floating around.  Especially since in all the time I ever spent on the Internet before, I always with a certain about of "don't leave behind around you can't walk away from" in terms of identifying information.  Certainly if a future job interviewer ever linked it together, it'd probably be a door-stopper.

Oh well, Aqizzar I am and I Aqizzar I'll be, now.
