What does your user tag mean

[bdsams Veteran]

What does everyones user tag mean or how did you come up with it?

Netrack came from the dos command of netstat, thus the net part but netstat was already taken and somehow came up with track instead...thus netrack

[shockz]

I was trying to think of a username... couldn't

- It was storming outside...

- Saw lightning... thought lighting for a username was lame...

- Lightning = electricity... electricity = shock... put a z on the end to make it cool... = shockz

I used to have 1104 on the end of it (my birthday)... but was sick of typing the numbers in everytime i logged in.

[gigapixels Veteran]

I wanted something to do with pixels, but I also wanted something that I could have a gamertag of as well... "pixels" was taken as a gamertag, so I added giga and it worked for both.

[MMaster23]

ooh .. you're not going to believe this one...

never had a nick before .. we started gaming over LAN (good old CnC) and had to think of a nick.

it was late and the moon was out. i tought of moonmaster (i know kinda lame) .. used that for a bit

other games didn't accept such a long nick so i made it mmaster

year later hotmail came along .. tried signing up but there already were like 22 mmaster's

i became mmaster23

used it ever since.

sometimes i also use masterdude... dunno why

My name exmachina08 comes from the latin phrase Deus Ex Machina or god from the machine which was a way of telling a story usually through a play in which zeus would come down from the heavens and destroy the main character and thereby abruptly ending the story. The 08 comes from my graduation year and because ExMachina is usually taken whenever I register

[swuzzlebum]

This should be a fun thread. One day I was enjoying some...stuff and I invented the word "swuzzle" to describe how I felt, which was relaxed and happy. Sometime after that I wanted a new name (all my other handles have sucked) so I stuck "bum" on the end because I like being relaxed and happy. I am the only swuzzlebum on Google, because I am the only swuzzlebum evar. :laugh:

[RangerLG]

Needed a nick. At the time I was driving a Ford Ranger that had the letters LG in the plate. I knew there were tons of Rangers, so I added the LG.
