How did you come up with your username?

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 1:53 pm

Fine too, but honestly I'd prefer Psychout.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:02 pm

i think ill go with "Psykeout"

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:21 pm

This will take ~~some~~ a lot of getting used to

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:22 pm

Don't worry, you can recognize his posts from his avatar.

Wait.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:24 pm

The nice thing is, though, we can still use "SYK". That's what I'll do...
"Psykeout"

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:26 pm

thats the origin!

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:36 pm

I think that, if I could, I'd just shorten my name to "Housedog"...
But I'm fine with it the way it is, so... ARGH!

On the topic of changing things, I've always wondered why people can't change user titles here.

You mean like how the Mods all have something under their name, e.g. Dylan having "Box Man" under hiss name?

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:43 pm

you could put it on your avy.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:59 pm

should i post a how i came up with Psykeout?
(ps just psyke for short)

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:00 pm

I'm still gonna call you SYK.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:03 pm

You could have posted it rather than ask permission to answer the question presented in the thread title.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:08 pm

right-o!
so, when i had my old username, people sometimes called me "SYK," which always made me think of the word "Psyke." this also stems from my facination with psychology (particularly psychophysics). also, Psykeout soundstotally cool

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:18 pm

Tell me what, that SYK now has a new username? I recognized you instantly dude.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:39 pm

I have tried to change my username to just "Miles" but I can't change it, its like its entrenched or something (I know little about computers, can't you tell?)

Andrea · Post by **Andrea** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:43 pm

Mine it's my first name. Nuff said.

An excerpt from my upcoming personal website:

My username comes from the Scandinavian character that is used as a vowel, and is a letter in the Danish, Faroese, and Norwegian languages. The reason why I chose it as my symbol is because of the webcomic Awkward Zombie. I noticed that the author's symbol is the pi symbol, and I thought to myself, "It'll be neat if I could have my own symbol." So, instead of designing an entirely new symbol, I just whipped out the character map for my computer and found "Ø."

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:04 pm

Her symbol is the pi symbol? I was not aware.

zeroslash · Post by **zeroslash** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:06 pm

At least that's what it looks like to me.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:08 pm

Oh. Well then.

Pi is so passé in geek culture. Like the falsehood of certain desserts.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:14 pm

I was unaware that you could change your name...

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:18 pm

The moderators have to do it for you I think.

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:19 pm

Ah I see.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 4:21 pm

And then suddenly, Rick Griffin's computer froze, and he watched in horror as 573 name change requests struggled into his inbox, pushing and shoving each other out of the way for his attention. Panicking, he did the only thing he could to fight back.

That morning, all forum users were surprised to find that they had been renamed Jim-Jim.

But please be serious about it, don't ask him to change your name and then go, "Oh I think my old name was better. Can you change it back?"

Yeah, it would be wise not to bother Rick unless there was no other option.

Hmm...Well, I always used to be isolated from others, and even though I'm one year younger than my peers, I feel like I'm in the older than them generation gap...(hence, lone). I like wolves, their ravaging nature, their pack alliances, and a leader among them all, but I'd prefer to be by myself (hence, lonewolf). I felt like "The" didn't sound right to me, so I chose "da" instead to show my immaturity (hence, dalonewolf) Finally, the day of my upcoming birthday, and my favorite number, is 25 (hence, dalonewolf25).

Oh, and psykeout, WHY? Daft Punk Inter5tellar555

I think "Dork" would be more effective. And accurate.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Sat Oct 23, 2010 5:00 pm

Well, they're basically synonyms.

TachyonWolf · Post by **TachyonWolf** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 10:50 am

tachyon the fringe was a really awesome game, and I knew what a tachyon is(And I am faster then light

, I can be hyper at times) And tachyon also shows that I am a sci-fi fan. The wolf part is from the fact that I like dogs, I have three. But I didn't want to be tachyon dog (although now I think that may have been better, I have more of a dog personality) but tachyonwolf is also my game call-sign and it needs to make my enemy fear me

so I did the wild dog, the wolf. So there you go.

FancySkunk · Post by **FancySkunk** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 12:33 pm

The "Fancy" half comes from the fact that I love absolutely formal dress. When I get the chance to do so, any character I make for something will be dressed in something formal, and I'm always willing to break out a shirt and tie if the situation somewhat calls for it.

The "Skunk" half comes from being one. :V
Really though, I wound up doing quite a bit of reading about skunks a while back when I was looking into getting one as a pet (ultimately decided against it because I wouldn't be around enough to take care of one). When the time came to pick something as a fursona, I remembered the personality traits for skunks, and how they were awfully similar to mine. Quite a natural fit. :3

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Sun Oct 24, 2010 2:30 pm

A formal dressing skunk? more likely than you think!

TachyonWolf · Post by **TachyonWolf** » Mon Oct 25, 2010 7:45 am

But does the suit stop the smell? or do does this skunk just not smell?
