Thread: How did you choose your user name?

    Re: How did you choose your user name?

    My user name is AGAR which is my lastname.
    Is that the only reason? I thought maybe, since Agar is the sugary stuff they put in petri dishes to grow bacteria with, you might have chosen the name because you like science... oh well.

    Re: How did you choose your user name?

    when i first got my cable connection i wanted to sign up for icq but i didn't have a nick yet... so i thought about it but i couldn't find anything but then i noticed the CD i was listening to and it was Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx. It's one of my favourite albums of all time. so i just took the first 2 letters (Ra) and the last 4 (linx) and i just started using that.

    this nick is also pretty unique. i've never found another ralinx on the web. if u do find one, let me know so i can hack the shit out of him

    My initials are cga. I had pretty much always used my initials back in the old usenet days. Never really changed.

    But I am good company with others who use their initials. ;D

    Well, my last name is Schott. In high school a few of the guys decided to call me schotty. It stuck so well, my handles everwhere are now schotty. Come to think of it, I have been going by that for over 8 years now!!

    The science story sounds more interesting. I'll start saying it was a combination of the last name and the science
