Another thing I've wanted to do on forums.

[Rydian]

I always see those jessica1991 and maggiepie93 user names, and want to make an account that's something like "Bartholomew1867" and pretend I'm a steampunk time-traveling aristocrat.

 

[Zerousen]

My dad uses names that consist of last names, first names, and birthyears for forums, or something he thinks is "cool" in english, like TurboCharge or hotflame_us for things like megaupload.

 

[Goli]

No! Stick to Rydian. Names with numbers are so generic.

 

[Rydian]

As a secondary account for laughs.

 

[Wintrale]

I once had four accounts on a forum and would create threads just so I could talk to myself. I even got one of me banned for flamebaiting.

 

[Frog]

...Why on earth would a steampunk time-traveling aristocrat be on GBAtemp!?

 

[MelodieOctavia]

TwinRetro2099 I'm from the future, and I love me some Halo. gotta love those retro classics.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

We've already got one.

 

[ProtoKun7]

steampunk time-traveling aristocrat.

I'm not an aristocrat, but that sounds strikingly similar...
Though I don't always do steampunk.

 

[Tokyo Jihen]

We've already got one.

That is amazing

I once had four accounts on a forum and would create threads just so I could talk to myself. I even got one of me banned for flamebaiting.

in this forum i used to peruse, the fonts were all so blocky that a lot of characters looked like each other, so it was always fun to make dummy accounts of other members by substituting identical-looking characters, like an I for a lowercase L. it was so much fun.
sometimes we even got the actual person banned

I remember Farah Day, I think...

[Infinite Zero]

I use 09 in some of my forum names because it's the day I was born on June.
