I like to keep Megaman everywhere, however I sometimes have to change on more popular forums where some bastard already took the name

Moral of this thread:

Everything started with runescape.
Or Neopets.

I remember back when I was was really into Neopets, I didn't really know what the internet was.

Runescape here. My first username was some dumb name I thought was badass. I think that was in second grade.

Hmm....yeah, I guess I should be glad they didn't have usernames when I was that young.

I use "UltaValican for user names" and "Valican" for character names. "Valican", is an anagram of my real first name with an extra vowel thrown in. Before Valican my usernames were ususally "weeabo shit" like darkshadowfireofedgyrandumbness or some shit like that. My Neopets username was meanamana123 or something like that.

Bay12 is the first placed I've used Phantom of the Library, although I plan on using it from now on, as it just fits me perfectly, previously I used Darius Radabok (Character from the book I've been in the process of writing for forever and a half) for everything. 

I lurked more than anything anyways, so I do believe that the only thing of me as Darius that exists still is my old Mechquest account.


Psha, it's all about Adventure Quest.
Or Mechquest, can't forget the little brother which pre(suc)-ceeds it by several thousand years  :P

What about the inbetween DragonFable, though? That had the silliest release notes I'd seen.

I hope you weren't hoping to maintain anonymity behind the fiendish difficulty of that puzzle.

Started out with Neopets, then Runescape. Different name on each, before my late-middle school/early high school fascination with Soviet Russia happened, leading up to the 'Red' in my current user name (Originally for Xbox Live before I converted to PCism). However, the meaning has been lost, and now I want something unique, shorter, without numbers.
