Re: How did you get your username?
I chose Snail because my dad showed me a big Snail, and I was petrified for life. Then again, I was about 3 years old then. :D

And Dark's site is working for me... Does anyone know where I can get the Nirvana? That looked really cool. I think Dark is working in secret on an uber project that will surpass everything ever created to date!! :nervous:

Re: How did you get your username?
I've had my name for about 6-7 years now. I'm actually quite fond of it. One day my brother came with a new game for his dreamcast called Space Channel 5. He was quite good at it, but I took to it even more than he did and got to be quite adept at it, even better than he was. Anyway, one day playing counter-strike beta 5, I changed my name from Leopard (my very, very, VERY old nickname given to me by a friend's relative, obscure I know) to Ulala, the main character of Space Channel 5. It was meant to be a joke since we all had been playing SC5 so much recently, but then it grew on me. After changing my name that one day, I've never looked back. If you haven't heard or played Space Channel 5, you can find info here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Channel_5

The article doesn't make it sound like much, but it was quite fun at the time.

I've also been given the nickname Hyena because one day at a retreat, we were eating morning meal and one of the things we had to do was decide what animal everyone else at the table was most like. Hyena was chosen for me, and it stuck a little, but not near as much as Ulala. I'm willing to go by both, but Ulala will probably stick with me for a long long time.

Not as interesting as some of the other names on this board, but here's my story anyway...

Back in elementary school, for reasons that I no longer remember, some of my peers decided to call me "whats-his-name".  Then the day came to choose a screename for my IM service, and I decided to use it since I was terribly unoriginal that day.  "whatshisname" didn't work, so I took out the H's, and there you have it. :)

I've also used "darkshivan" and "md1032" as screenames for things on occasion.  Darkshivan from my love of the night/darkness (and shivans, duh), and md1032 from the callsign of the main character in the Descent games.



In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.

Mine is one of the first words in the dictionary that isn't just "A" or an acronym made up of "AAAA" or something like that.

Mine is just a name which kinda resembles my true name.
It is also the name of the worst Finnish singer ever, painfully awful, really terrible. I dig unintentionally bad music.

Re: How did you get your username?
Long story told in short:

I am a great fan of Star Wars and the space simulator games written for it. In X-wing vs TIE Fighter and X-win Alliance, it was said it's impossible to reach the ranking of Top Ace in Single Player, but after months of playing dogfights and missions, I managed to achieve it. I initially wanted to be simply "Ace" when I was to create a login name for myself at HLP, it was taken already. So I stuck the "Top" in front of it and ended up as "TopAce", no spacing between the two otherwise separated words and I kept double capitals.

I've been calling myself as "TopAce" on the Internet ever since. I used to be "Brazil" or simply "Bra" (as a three-letter abbreviation for Brazil), but after two years of learning English, I realized it had an other sense, so I changed it.
