Re: Where did your username come from?
Weird huh.
@Sir Tavic, I hate using numbers too, so I add unique prefixes and suffixes and try to think up out-there sort of names with only a personal meaning.

Re: Where did your username come from?
I normally despise numbers as well, but my first forum name did contain a number (11). I first tried to use my real first name, but someone else already used that (Not joking: It was the chief game programmer of the game company.). Therefore: 11. This has since changed to letters.
Because there's no fun to be found in being normal.

I also hate numbers. One of the reasons behind iamgoofball. I used it because no one else uses it. Most of the time, people perfer stuff like "Ubermageman545" and "SkIlLsMaStErLeEt54654" and etc.
it is a mystery

But on another note: Is/was there an "Avron the Dark" or am I mistaken?
Not when I know the reason behind it, and was the person who actually reported (in a nice way) the fact that the first checknate was probably a user that had made a mistakechecknate9 wrote:is the 9 at the end of my name annoying??
