Aliases


Careless Whisper

Recommended Posts

Alright...for those of you who do not know what Aliases are, I'll explain.

 

Aliases are names you give yourselves that you use to hide your true identity from other people around the world while online.

 

Now, let me explain why I am posting this thread... Because I can see that alot of people have aliases, why? Because they really just have a name to hide their identity with, or they just want themselves to seem "cool." Well, Aliases can be "cool" but can also be really dangerous. For instance, people with multiple aliases, you can have memory problems, you can forget them all, but it ensures your identity's secretism. Some people have long aliases, somethimes this is good, but can also be bad. For example, it can be bad by the memory problem again, forgetting it easily, also being obnoxious and hard to understand.

 

So, why exactly did I post this? Because I would like to know how everyone came up with their aliases as well as how long they've had these same aliases. Also to discuss the aliases people use. Like my old one for instance, "Anomu13."

 

Also, I would like to reveal that I lied about my official name change to becoming "Meti." I did have a name change, but it not to Meti. I do not feel comfortable in showing my true real name, so I felt that I should've lied about having my new Alias as my true name. I did this for idenity protection, and am very sorry in lieing to you all.

 

So, use this thread to discuss aliases and your views on how well designed other aliases are.

My aliases on the internet is, Zoloa37, Rand al'Thor, Vanyel, Zayne Carrick, Perrin Aybara, Matrim, Henyair, and Thor. I will not tell which aliases go with which site but I believe aliases are good at keeping you safe on the internet. Also some people call me the "Psycopath" on Visual-Utopia.

Well... On chats I am known as Hawaiian Vampire. Which is an actual nickname I was given in my school on the Big Island.

Icy|blue is one that I adopted on this forum and I believe it was Browarod who first used that to recognize me(Icy)... Which that name in itself describes me...

On IPBFree sites I use the name Josh which is my real name so yeah....

I do not believe that just saying where you got your alias is all I'm asking you to do...I also told you to discuss other aliases and your views on aliases.

 

I explained that as my reasoning is the same as how I get them really...

 

As for others, my only peeve is when people use some extraordinary alias that cannot be given a nickname =/....

Okay, then I'll make a story out of mine...

 

Willie Adler - guitarist of lamb of god

*.Burn It Down.* - metaphorical expression that refers to disestablishmentarianism

 

The reason I selected Burn It Down is it's a metaphorical expression that refers to disestablishmentarianism. I can't stand churches / other relgious things (hence my username being a reference to disestablishmenarianism). My alias that I go by is willieh, but my username stands at *.Burn It Down.*. Also it makes me be the first person on the "Who's online" list. :D

Zeroshot, Shockwave (Brief), Zigzag, The Virus (Brief), ........................., (Brief)

 

 

Zigzag was adapted when I was 8 on a few forums that I joined to see cheats and crap.

the first time I ever used for real was when I was 10 on a forum called Modojo. I didn't post

until this year though. but I used other features

 

Zeroshot was the best of them all. Me and my internet friends at the time had a dream to create a full-internet club called the Negative League. All names in the league were supposed to be related to Zeros or negative numbers. Other names included Negor, Glazix (?), Sha-Zero, Zilch ect.. The Negative League never really got started and I hop to revive it some day. I still use the name Zeroshot on every friendly forum.

 

........................... was the name I used when I first joined YCM. It was composed of 27 dots for no reason whatso'ever. Look at my first 2 reps if you don't remember. I used this name because I only wanted to save my cards to the browser instead of files. I got bashed a lot for it so I changed to Zeroshot.

 

Shockwave and The Virus were names I used because they sparked my interest at the time.

Rand al'Thoris is on byond i think...............

 

 

for me its pretty much a variation on Buffer but on byond i have a few in game i am RED,Bliss,golem,and other names

 

of course as some may know Buffer is a name the originated from flyff it means "helper" because in the game if you were a certain class you could help people by boosting there stats so people would come up to these people and say "Buff plz" but many people think it comes from the buffering thing

 

 

~views on aliases~

I just used Death Metal because death metal is my favorite type of music.

I'm not afraid of people seeing my name...it's William Joseph Miille. I just use Death Metal because I like to avoid formalities on the internet (Meaning I wouldn't like people referring to me by william....willieh maybe but I already gave some that nickname).
