Different names on different forums?

[pinniped]

What are your thoughts on using different names on diff. forums...I recall seeing a thread about this at another forum awhile back and don't really get why that would be an issue...just curious...:confused:

[paper]

Ive seen it used when someone knows your position , you then show up and troll and disturb without your known preferences a factor.. It only matters when abused and serves to create trouble. paper

[cart7]

Sometimes it's a matter of "when in Rome". I've used my current handle since the speednet days but decided to use the name trac-champ when I signed on at TF. It didn't take them long to figure out the "trac" part. The content of my posts pretty much explained everything.

[RaceGrrl]

"Wherever you go, there you are."

I'm RaceGrrl everywhere I go... no sense trying to escape it. If I can't say what I want to say under this nick, then there's no point in my saying it at all. (Not that I'm shy to begin with) ;)

[Sean O'Gorman]

I use my name, usually in different random variations for each forum. Sean O'Gorman, SeanOGorman, SOGorman, SOGorman35, SOG35. If I had no idea that there were a significant of people who didn't know this was me. Even a few of the offcamber.net people I met at Cleveland this weekend didn't know I was SeanO from 7G.

As far as I can tell, some people use several individual names so they can stir different amounts of sh** in different forums.

[cartmanoz]

I choose one of three:

cartmanoz
f1manoz
bikemanoz

Imaginative eh?:rolleyes:

Ditto, but with a "Chic" on the end! :D

I'm Kiwifan everywhere. It's easy and I can remember it so that's gotta be good. ;)

But he is affectionately known here as butthead... ;) :)

I've always been mapguy. But probably for not much longer.

[WestMcLarenF1]

I'm WestMcLarenF1 on every racing board that I belong to. I also belong to several movie discussion boards and have usernames that are more in line with that subject.

[Railbird]

If I used different handles I would probably get into an argument with myself somewhere along the line.

[Turn7]

I am Turn7 until I get banned and then I may show up as anything from bozo to bowtie to bowesspecial to ... well the list is long and my memory is short and I still havent made it out of the "b's".

[JT265]

I'm pretty much JT everywhere, except when the brownshirt stormtroopers got active at Gooberforum, where I was (am) known as know-nothing, crap-for-brains peckerhead, or a derivative of same.

[oddlycalm]

I'm oddlycalm everywhere except 7G these days, where I am still known as Taildragger due to being too lazy to bother changing it.

When I first arrived at 7G many years ago I still used the nickname which I had gotten from people at an airport where my old Stinson was the only plane with a tail wheel, hence the term. As the Stinson found a new home some time back, I felt the name should go as well.

I know there were many that thought it had to do with some unfortunate physical condition for which Anusol would be recommended, but I am happy to report that I never actually felt the need to drag my own tail...:eek:

oc

[FCYTravis]

I'm railpax on the Crapwagon boards, a remnant handle from the days of yore... and on the forums I've joined since then - after I started working F&C - I felt I needed a more racing-oriented name.

So, FCYTravis seemed to work.

I'm just too lazy to change it over on the Crappy side ;)

[Lizzerd]

Lizzerd everywhere (on racing forums, anyway).

Hey...what about you WickerBill? Have you ever posted under another name?

[longbeach32]

[WickerBill]

I've had two names for racing forums. Chose WickerBill for SpeedCenter and Speednet, then when I became moderator of Seventhgear.com, decided I wanted to keep posting as WickerBill without someone saying "you censored me because you disagree with me", so I chose the name Laguna as my moderator alias (the only CART racetrack, to this point, I have ever driven on). Mr. JP Johnson set up the name for me and off I went.

Now I've revealed myself and am back to my original name, WB.

[RacinM3]

I use RacinM3 everywhere 'cept on the SCCA board, where I'm Slang.

Chitowncartfreak everywhere - despite the fact I actually live in Milwaukee. The only exception is at Crapwagon. I had to chop off 1 letter, so it is Chitwncartfreak.

Am I the only one who didn't know you were laguna? I always thought laguna and lone_groover were one in the same. You know, an outlet kinda thing.

My other nick is 'slowcerebralguy'. ;)

I didn't know either. To be honest, I was relieved because it meant I could cross off one more person on the list of people who find me irritating. :D

"TRDfan" here and other racing boards....kind of scared to register at CW with this name.

"steveb84" on car shopping boards and something including "rivers" (my old radio name) on other misc sites.

[SteveH]

SteveH everywhere except for when I posted on SpeedNet, then I used my full name.

[devilmaster]

I be devilmaster everywhere.....

mostly cause i'm the only one crazy enuff to keep a name i've used since bbs days

(and naturally, if you know what a bbs is, take a drink cause you're getting older :) )

I had a 512K expansion kit for my C64. I was KING, baby.

Yes, I used a tape device for my "mass storage".

Tradewars was my game of choice....

In '85 dad brought home one of these IBM PC/jr (http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/ibmpcjr/) .
I played a game call Lode Runner where you could make your own levels the little guy would climb ladders to escape from the baddies. I spent all of '86 playing a game called GATO, a submarine sim. The sub moved in real time so on electric motors at a depth of 100 meters you were trudging along at 10 knots! It would take an hour just to get to a ship to sink. Then I discovered the wonders of the flight sim. I think that was one my first 386 though.

My first computer was the TI-99/4A.

[JoeBob]

So, how many C64s did you own? I think we went through 3 or 4, the last being a 64C, that came with a free disk with Quantum Link software, and a few hours of free access. Those were the first "Free Software" the company that would eventually be known as AOL sent out.

[chop456]

You're lucky, Mappy. I had the 600XL. :D I think I still have the "Jumbo Jet Pilot" and Qbert game carts for it, too. I remember the instruction manual having a program you could tupe in (quite a few lines of Basic(?), and it would make a lightning strike, complete with sound. Wow! :D

[Chitowncartfreak]

That Atari brings back memories. I started with a 600XL, but moved up to the 800XL after a full summer of mowing lawns. I was the tech king of the county when I replaced my tape drive with a 5.25" floppy drive.

O.K... so the clues we have are you may have a fondness of seal, walrus or sea lions, you are from middle earth and you like sex, racing and beer.

Sounds like just about any nerd that hangs out on the net. That is about all the energy I will spend on this. If you want to tell, go ahead.

I'm afraid I can't do that. There are a very few who may know. But you aren't one of them.

His number he did before last years Gateway IRL race was a classic. He, Buck, Tammy and Adrian went to PT's for couples night before the race. I hope he reposts it here. It lasted all of about 5 min at 7G. I'll bet WB would be a little more open-minded about it than Anita was. :D

[WickerBill]

Don't worry, I didn't archive them. Guna was always good at letting stuff roll off his back... ;)

[Napoleon]

Always been Napoleon, except for a brief time I used Ohioracing, an on the Deja board where Napoleon was taken so I took ericarthurblair. The funny thing was that even though there is a logical connection between that name and Napoleon (its a 2 step connection between them) someone made the immediate, harder connection of the 2, but no one ever made the easier second step of the connection.

A pinniped is any one of several creatures with fins. It was a nickname from former co-workers. Deal with it.

And why would I be Mary? Is there some kind of freudian reason you want me to be female?:saywhat:

And all this time I thought that the "polite" invite I received when this site was launched was a bit more exclusive:rofl: !!!

As to the posed question: Yes, I have a few screen names on Yahoo, but only one everywhere else. Over there I am known as mercenary36, As2o699, and sometimes even brewser2_9 (not my screen name, but I know the password).

I would only have one if Yahoo had let me take the one I've been known as since 1979...The one and only manic mechanic.


And on top of that, I find out that the "man of a thousand faces" is WickerBill too?

Now I'm not so sure that giving up the LSD when I was just out of college really WAS a good idea!!!:eek:
at least then when I saw something bizzare I was sure it wasn't real!!:D
