So how did you get your nickname used here?

[Dr_Davenstein]

My name is Dave. Other than that, there is no real reason for it.

[whitetiger0990]

Tiger is for power...
so...
whitetiger is.. WHITE POWER!!!
okay I'm kidding! Don't hurt meeee...

long ago back in the day before cable was everywhere... me mom was setting up AOL. I needed an account. I like kitties a lot so I was stuck between whitetiger and blacktiger...

Of course both of those were chosen =p so I added some numbers

whitetiger15564
...that eventually ran into some spammage problem... and my parents (trying to filter me =p) canceled it and I got another. I chose whitetiger0990 for some unknown subconcious reason... It's a coincidence that it's symmetric and the month/year I was born =p (mmyy)

yuuup...

[Radical Raccoon]

so it has nothing to do with power rangers?

[Dio]

It's a coincidence that it's symmetric

thats called a palindrome.

like: "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama"

[Zack]

It's a coincidence that it's symmetric

thats called a palindrome.

like: "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama"

THAT ISN'T A &#%*ing PALINDROME!

Code:

DIM AS STRING Phrase,R_Phrase
Phrase="a man a plan a canal panama"
FOR I=LEN(Phrase) TO 1 STEP -1
    R_Phrase=R_Phrase + MID(Phrase,I,1)
NEXT
IF R_Phrase=Phrase THEN PRINT "Palindrome confirmed."
IF R_Phrase<>Phrase THEN PRINT "Not a palindrome."
SLEEP

Cool. :lol:

[Moneo]

Well, my last name is Moneo, which is pretty unique. There's a famous Spanish architect named Rafael Moneo, but that's about it.

I always use Moneo or variations with my first name Edward.

I often wonder why most people invent strange names instead of using their real first or last name or both, like Antoni Gual, simple and straight to the point. What's the purpose of using a disguised name or nickname?

[Pete]

I'm unoriginal.


Actually, I probably would have gone with another name, but when I signed up on these forums a year and a half ago, I wanted people to know that I'm the guy from Pete's QB Site...(I know, a lame title for a site, but I've had it since 1998 when I was 13.)

[barok]

It's also one of the most famous qb sites in the q-munity.

[Sterling Christensen]

It's my middle and last name.
