[Haspen]

It's a random username which I first used on few old Polish online games. Then it carried over to here, and then elsewhere, even if the original places I used it on no longer exist ;v

[Helgoland]

I just use my IRL name.

I didn't know you were an island.

Sure I am! Come visit me, you'll looooove my cliffs~

[TempAcc]

No man is an island.

Helgo confirmed for large german woman?

[Comrade P.]

Lay off that German clay, will ya? It's 2017, if a landmass wishes to express itself on the internet, let it.

Re: username choice
One of our teachers in high school used to call out people adressing them as "Comrade X.", where X stood for the first letter of the surname, and then the whole class of like 40 people played a fun game of guessing which one of us was it. We actually enjoyed that. Thus, I was Comrade P., but I was not the only one.

[Tack]

No man is an island.

Send not for whom the bell tolls?

[Sirus]

I wanted to name an RPG character "Sirius", buuuut my dumb younger self never actually seemed to notice that second "i".  I thought it was pronounced sigh-russ, so I spelled out that way in the entry field. And the rest is history.

[Solifuge]

I like when people talk username origin stories. :3

In my freshman year of college, I decided to change my go-to username from an embarrassing, confusing, and absurd Terry Pratchett reference. I'd recently learned about Sun Spiders/Wind Scorpions, and thought they were weird and neat and colorful and misunderstood, so I went with their formal name. Solifuge also means "One who flees from the sun," which felt fitting because I always kept weird hours, between work and late night classes. Also, I go by Day as a short form of my IRL name with some folks, which fits Sol/Soli pretty well too. So it's served me pretty well. Even if some folks think they're creepy and scary. >.<;

G.C., I never knew why you changed usernames before, so it's good to know! A few odd times I've wanted to use it out of habit, but now I know not to do that. Tawa, that is pretentious, and adorable. Tack, godspeed registering that username. Also, thanks for sharing y'all.

[Flying Dice]

Wanted "Fuzzy Dice" somewhere, it was already used. This felt appropriate because I am precisely not an incautious risk-taker in most circumstances. Banal, I know.

[Shook]

Wow, so many people with actual stories behind their names. Mine's dull as hell (saw it in a videogame, thought it was funny, nobbed it for all eternity), so i once set out to write a big-ass bullshit story about it that i could copy-paste for when the need arose. Unfortunately, it's not quite done, and now my hands are too fucked to finish it. :v

[Mephansteras]

Waaaay back when I was first trying to get a hotmail account (before microsoft bought them, actually), I was struggling to find something I liked that didn't require me to stick tacky numbers at the end or some nonsense. I eventually got frustrated and picked a word that no one else could have. Mephansteras is the name of a monster I'd made up for a D&D campaign, and is in fact what my Avatar looks like. Since it's made up I've never had an issue getting it anywhere so it has followed me all over the place at this point.

And for those curious, it is pronounced mef-AN-ster-as.

[TempAcc]

Actualy this isn't my first username, BUT ALAS, TIS A STORY FOR ANOTHER AGE.

[Culise]

Decided to name myself after the Romanian word for "wing", due to a bit of a passing obsession with sky-, wind-, and bird-related symbology.  Idiot-me used the word for a building wing rather than the wing of a bird.

[scriver]

Scriver is the nickname of the author's sort-of self insert character in the modern Swedish classic The Snake by Stig Dagerman. The character was called so by his regiment buddies because of the typewriter of the Scriver brand he was always typing away at. I really liked the book and I guess as a teenager with author dreams I found the character was pretty identifiable.

I have only just learned the origins of Tawarochir and that is the coolest username ever.

I still haven't forgiven him for shortening it.

xD

I love it.

[Lorknis]

I got drunk one night while talking to someone on the web. We somehow ended up on the topic of the Lochness monster but drunk me decided it shall now be spelled Lorknis. I thought it was a cool user name and have used it ever since.

[Hanslanda]

I started coming on bay12 when Inglourious Basterds was still in theaters and I had just seen it. Thus my favorite character became my new username. My old username was double dealer for certain reasons that I should not get into now.
