So how n why is your Forum Name what is is?

Mine comes from the first forum I joined - I was stuck for ages at the registration screen as I couldn't think of a username, so looked around the room for inspiration and saw the copy of The Eternal Champion that I was re-reading ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erekose ) - and that was it.

I use it on all forums and even as my surname on FB for a little privacy, although I've now bollocksed that up my having my daughter on there, so my real surname is rather obvious!   ;D

My name.  Well, not quite the name that's on my birth certificate but not far off and it's what I have always been known as in most contexts.

In the distant past (in online terms at least!) I used to post just as H on previous incaranations of the board but after one of its re-launches I just went with my full name.

I'm a Scunthorpe United supporter and their nickname is The Iron so when I used to watch them at away games they are the Iron On Tour so i decided to use it.

On all the other forums I'm on especially the scooter ones I'm known as Red,a nickname I've had for years.

I asked ages ago to change it to Red on here but it never happened

ironontour - if you go to your account settings, and then modify settings, you should be able to change your name. Well, I believe, as I've never done so myself!

I also thought it was due to Maiden by the way 8)

REDP are my initials, and altering it slightly to RedP suits my political orientation ;)

Actually, I was originally given the initials DERP, but have always been known by the 'R' (Richard). I used to encounter endless confusion because I was known by my third name (bureaucracies in particular couldn't handle that), so it made sense to change the order. But hey, you can call me Richard!

Early adopter of the Internet, I knicked it from a Xfiles but was amazed that Invisigoth had already gone, so chucked on another h. I also once shared with a colleuge my cd collection details , and he named me the invisible goth ,k cause I don't look like one.

I pretty much registered it with hotmail, and loads of revue sites , so it stuck

I have been called "Zombieboy" by people since I started doing zombie make up and organizing the Edmonton Zombie Walks six years ago.  I went with "Xombieboy" because most names with the word "zombie" in them have already been taken, and I really didn't want a name with a bunch of numbers and stuff.  I have used Xombieboy on several forums.

My name was inspired by the work of the street artist Banksy and it it's cool because it only has 3 letters used twice.  I have used the name artrat for years and on many online forums and sites. I didn't want to use my real name because it sucks.

I live in a village called Lostock Gralam which is in Northwich, Cheshire.  Lostock Gralam Boy seemed a bit to long so I chose just  Lostockboy.  I'm way to old to be a boy but it sounded better than Lostockman.  Lostock is a couple of train stops from the Knutty's from Knutsford or about 5 minutes in car, a very nice town indeed.

Sounds like a plan to me, would be nice to have a meet up.  We will have to consult our diaries and then set a date and a venue.  Either your place or mine are ok with me, just let me know, regards Scott
