Internet Nicknames - How Not to Make A Friend (small rant)

[Jonny Kansas]

Awe thanks! Haha! I remember names as well, but I guess what I'm saying is I couldn't really care less what they are...

It does color your perceptions a bit if your name is something like "Juicy" or something of that nature. So yeah, I get where you're coming from. I like my name and I don't think it comes off as anything remotely negative.

Jonny Kansas is a nickname bestowed upon me by friends when I moved to Michigan, because I like Johnny Cash and my name is Jon and I'm from Kansas. Haha! I also use it on Xbox Live and a few other places...

Souljerr was a nickname from my dj'ing days and I also use it on XBox Live.

Mine is pretty much what everyone calls me in real life.

There was this incident with a camel in front of someone important.
Yes, it was embarrassing... He called me the name...

The name stuck way too easily.

 

[Sam]

that's why i put a lot of thought into what my internet handle would be on this forum. it WAS actually iKillPuppies, but decided to switch to this since it is only moderately offensive.

in all seriousness, as a former psych major, i definitely agree.

 

[Phoxus]

My nick name used to be ironically Badkid - gaming days when I was in many peoples eyes a "bad kid"

I was ruthless on video games, never betraying. but ruthless.

I go by Phoxus because i ran a website (phoxus.com)

which was a torrent/mp3 search engine/tube engine(for illegal videos)/image host/private emailer/ etc.. few other ridiculous things that I made it for me to not go to any other sites and see advertisements.

it got popular and I couldn't afford the bandwidth anymore.

Tell a friend and word of mouth spreads.
