something I've been wondering for a while
 

Whats with the naming scheme? Quite a few people have their first name and the first letter of their last name (I assume) as a username, whats with that? That complaining or anything just curious is all.

That's just all of us weirdos that like our name as a part of our username.

Smaller member base. We mostly know all of each other up here, so names work fine.

No imagination :P

When I registered on I-Club like 3 years ago, I was under the impression that you had a "username" that you used to login to the site, and a seperate "member name" that would show up with your posts. I used "sperry" as my username since it's the same username I've had on lots of systems at school/work. Then I found out that the username is your member name, and learned to live with it. As I started joining other boards, I kept the same name so other people that cross-breed on the boards will recognize me.

I actually prefer it now, since all the people with names like "02WRX_BADASS" and whatnot look like jackasses when they sell the WRX and buy a Honda or some crap. :lol:

If I talk to someone and they call me JC, I know they're from the internet...

That must work out pretty good actually... I think it took me like two months after meeting you to realize that's not your name :lol:

It works out really well. Unless one of my real friends meets the internet people, then it's "JC who the fuck is that?" :P

OMG I'm not real friend!

I stand out in the middle of parking lot with you till 11:30!

How come you never call me to hang out then huh? Screw you tyson... :cry:

Zactly. When you're on like 15 different web boards, you have to have something universal. I thought about doing something where (board name + scotty) = user name, but that seemed too complicated. In any case, if I named myself "A_1_SNIPER" or something on this board, I'd seem just as weird as "2FAST2WAGONS" on AR15.com.

I getting a cell phone just hold on!

:cry:

I'm BAN SUVS on every board I frequent, but that works well since they're almost all Subaru related :lol:

I use a different name on SA.com and C-C.com actually.

Fine. I'm calling you AWD OWNZ U from now on.

When I spoke to "JC" at the meet, he introduced himself as JC. Now I just feel stupid.

My user name was an inside joke when I was 15, and now it's my nick name to my close friends. I really don't know why I use it, but I'm registered on about ten different boards with this name.

Don't worry, he's a jackass, he does it to everybody ;)

EVERY subaru person calls me JC, don't feel bad.

Alright.

That's the name I use on ricer boards like I-club. :lol:

If my name was Jebbadiah Christopherson, I'd introduce myself as "JC" too.

I am either ArthurS, KeeperOfAcheron, or Horsepowerforbrains on the boards I frequent.

this is the only place I think I used my name otherwise I'm known as - Famink :twisted:

I do agreew ith you guys on the names taht are specific to one thing, like blahblahwrxblah. having one name for all forums is good, hell I've been using this one for 4 years whereever i go :) only changed it slioghtly

What does your name mean?

heh, it was a inside joke between a couple of friends so it really makes no sense when i try to tell it, but it used to be THAWABUTT, which was the three words that was and butt jammed together, but most people called me thawa for short so i use that now.
