Default Your Forum Name
My screen name is one that I have used online for as long as I have been online. It all started when I was playing Quake. For that I chose the name Gator because I am a Florida Gator fan. Obviously. Anyway, one day while playing I came across another person with the same name. From then on I used Jax_Gator playing Quake. Added the Jax because I am from Jacksonville, FL. Afterwards, I dropped the underscore and the caps.

So, what about your screen name? How did you come up with it or what's the meaning behind it?

When the opti went out for my vette for the first time and forums were new, I found CF and just came up with something quick to ask questions.

I didn't really like it, but became known by it, so oh well.

Funny, but that's what I always thought about your screen name.

Same here. I started playing on-line games like DOOM/DOOM2/Quake, but my name was Executioner which I still use on other web sites. For this site, I decided to use something different, so I picked my last name and by birth year.

After seeing your name and wondering for so long what the meaning behind it was, I decided to start this thread. So, thanks for posting.

I think everyone would be disappointed if you changed your screen name.

But, if you want to - how about Smac Man.

Are we could get someone to show instead of Dixie.

Mine is the name of my penguin general from my plastic animal army when I was a kid. He is still around here somewhere.

Self-explanatory.








<---------------

All of my friends just call me 'LilRed' instead of by my first name...it just sort of stuck.

I chose mine because I am unoriginal, and I have a 73 vette.
