Try having the same slightly embarrassing nickname for nearly 20 years...

I was thinking the same thing lately, Prophet. I chose the nickname Lightning Hunter when I was around 12 years old (the name came from a custom Total Annihilation Unit). I have kept it all this time simply because everyone knows me by this name. It is annoying when I am trying to figure out which names used to belong to which people. It gets worse when people change their avatar and their name. Then I have no clue who they were.

I say everyone changes their nicknames right now, so I don't have to think who everyone formerly was when I see their posts. :P

I changed mine because reasons, it was originally to be Masterproxy but when that was mistaken for a bot when I applied for {WINGS} I changed it to Zombiehunter, however as that was a closed chapter I went for my more widely known alias, Electric Ice.


I'd change it again, but that is for a later time.

I'm thinking of trying out a new name : "The Equalisator" :wink: (but only until a map is proclaimed the winner :D )

Past nicknames elsewhere include Italiano.GC, [SkW]Deathwish, [SkW]MickeyJ and {757}Quaffle. Plus there's some guy called Noailiat. But everyone has known me as Hellscrag for so long that I couldn't change it now, even though it's totally ridiculous and has been for years.

I suppose I could always have my nickname changed to Mike.

Here's a Scrag for you.

You'll always be my Mike, Mike.

:o

But I'm in the same boat, as far as this community goes this is my identity.

Like many here I've had a lot of names in my life. I'm not especially fond of this one, but it is what I'm known by here and I like better then the older name it was derived from.

Names bind us to an imperfect portrait of who we appeared to be with little respect to who we were or who we are now.
