"User name"

What is it with some people?

I love my user name on here. I don't really think it describes me at all, I don't think it really means anything at all... bar the thought behind coming up with it... but it's just quite random, and I love it for that reason.

But why do people often have really, really crappy user names? And oddly enough, they always turn out to be crap writers if they have a BoRiNg user name.

Perhaps:

You need a name to stand out. Something to get you recognised. So, instead of really thinking hard about a cool name, you just steal something from a band/wrestler/sexual position, and then capitalise every other letter. Stands out then, doesn't it?

GrIx ThRaVeS

And then you have people that seem to believe that putting character next to the name make it more interesting too. No it doesn't. You just look like a mong.

<[(~--GrIx-ThRaVeS--~)]>

Then of course, when you still discover your name is still as boring as ever, you try to make it "clever", by changing letters to symbols that look like letters. Not clever. Boring, and pathetic.

<[(~--§®!×-†#®ÅV˧™--~)]>

Oh dear.

It doesn't mean you're original, creative, or anything. Really. Any idiot can go into character map and see a symbol that looks remotely like a letter.

But it will continue, because nobody has the creativity to come up with a decent damn name.

Ah well.

Nah, it's even worse than Mortal Kombat. I found out a while ago thats it's the name of an Orc in some book, but that wasn't where I got it from.

I'm still in shame because of where I got my name from.

Well if you can't come up with an imaginative user name then odds are you've got no imagination to write a decent topic, or at least an interesting one :)

Heh. I hate it when they put numbers after their name. What is that? It's really annoying. I'm not Stryke675321921729812 because that looks pathetic.

It wouldn't surprise me, last time i looked he was 1000 posts ahead of the nearest person, thats just sad really.

Perhaps even the urge to click the "reply quoting", and respond with a single word will rush from his soul, leaving only the desire to greet everyone on the "PS2 longest thread" personally, with a "hi" post for each person.

Bless 'em.

He was Komo Rama or something as well...

Maybe the large quantity of posting he does is causing his mind to split into seperate personalities...
