Whats your Username Origin or meaning?

[The Barber]

I didn't do anything at that scale, but I did sell a manastone to a guy in Korea for $450 I had ShowEQ up and running on a Linux PC right next to my main PC - a pretty sophisticated packet-sniffer that would decode encrypted network traffic coming into my house - so that I could see all the network traffic that I wasn't supposed to be able to see; stuff like rare spawns, and even things like which mobs might have rare drops on them. I learned a lot about networking trying to hack that game

A couple of years ago I went back and played Project 1999/Everquest Titanium for a bit - soloing with a bard - just to feel the rush. It isn't the same, but I still remember how it felt. Note that Everquest, for all of its success, was never a mass market game. At peak they had about 100,000 active accounts. Still, for the time, it changed the industry. When World of Warcraft released in late 2004 it more or less crushed all online RPG competitors, and was easier and much friendlier. World of Warcraft was pulling down numbers 100x as large as what Everquest ever achieved. I played WoW for quite a while with some of the old Everquest development team members. The fact they haven't developed a WoW II is almost criminal, in my opinion. I've been waiting for one for over a decade

Yep, 5 account team, 6th pc was set up for ShowEQ on a Linux box...haha. I passed on WoW didn't want that time sync in my life lol

Weta to promote New Zealand and all the insects of our planet.
The more I observe and take pictures the more amazed I am by the structures, colours and diversity of these little life forces.

Initials and my first “nice” set of golf clubs I played with, not named Northwestern or tucked away in my parent’s garage. Titleist 990’s.

 

[Sussi]

I joined the site with a different user name than today. Changed it because it was a username I use too much. It was the first 3 letters of my first name and the last 3 of my last name plus Steve Yzerman's jersey number. After I killed a few trees I figured I should change my name, and own it. What's the origin/significance of yours?

Not a lot of imagination here - it’s just my name.

[NashsMan]

Just changed it this week from PerryB to NashsMan for a bit more mystery/anonymity:

Back in the '90s I was walking our very regal looking 80 pound white standard poodle (Nash). As I walked past one of our neighbors with his young son, the father asked the son, "Who is that?"
The son said, "Nash".
The father asked, "And who is that walking with Nash?"
Son: "That's Nash's Man."

The son is now an MD and about 6' 7".
I see him occasionally when he visits his mother.

 

[Sekibonsai]

BonsaiJim... pretty obvious at 5'2"... also my MC name. Seki becomes pretty obvious if you know my real name.

 

[Bonsaidoorguy]

Been working in a door shop for about 25 years now so I guess I'm a door guy. Seemed like a catchy name.
