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.

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.
