Well, since I'm no longer known as 'Snipes' (and you all know where that came from) and am now "Raa Tor'h"

It was a combination of 2 artists I enjoyed; 'Arakaraath', and 'Kaa'...

The Tor'h part is just an annoying surname that my RP char has. I usually drop it and only use 'Raa'

[phreak]

i needed a name for starcraft about 5 years ago. i just got the internet at the time and never realized that it was already used in some jargon

You didn't know what a phreak[er] was?

Have you never heard of Cap'n Crunch?

[mikhael]

1. My parents intended to name me 'Miguel' instead of 'Luis'.
2. I've always been partial to the old biblical names, particularly that angels. Michael appeals to me especially.

So my online name is almost always a variant of 'Michael'. Thus, Mikhael.

[Woolie Wool]

I just pulled my nick out of my ass.

Been eating a lot of sheep lately?

[HotSnoJ]

My first online names were coolman, coolteen, and coolboy with a string of numbers after them. Shortly after I bought HardWar (thanks HW I became a modder) I became known as JackA**. But I then started to think, "I think I should change my nick." So I started thinking of names, I remembered the 'cool' names and started to think snow, so I  thought, "What's an opposite of snow? HOT!" And HotSnow was born, Later I decided to take the w off for coolness and add a J for my name Josh.

I only have two buttons on my keyboard.

[Flipside]

LOL

My name is Military Terminology for the outcome of a combat. It's notably used in B5 just before Sheridan frees Earth, one of the commanders says to Sheridan 'See you on the Flipside'.

Flipside

[silverwolf]

i guess mine is  easy to find for a meaning so my meaning is a wolf made out of silver

[StratComm]

My nick started back in the days when I played Command and Conquer and Starcraft.  It was Strategic Commander for a while, but that was cumbersome and got really annoying when Microsoft made that stupid mouse with the same name.  I actually first shortened it to StratComm (then StratCom) when I ran in to a username length restriction, and I just sort of kept it.  I also always liked the response from the Goliath in Starcraft ("Roger TacComm") so my abbriviation/nick is an adaption of that.

It also makes it simple to see which forums you post at through google.

As for my name, i just pieced it together because i thought it sounded good, no real meaning behind it.

Heh... for some reason, I always thought there was a sexual innuendo behind your name... Don't ask why...

[CP5670]

My name essentially came from randomly monkey pounding the keyboard several years ago when I was trying to register for WWOnline and was finding that any normal words I tried were already taken.

*googles Kalfireth*

The Bar, Hallowed Ground and some BoardNation place.

I suppose allot of people do

[ZylonBane]

My nick was created originally for the VBB. Freespace/Wing Commander/TIE Fighter/etc are all direct descendents of Star Raiders, a game on the old 8-bit Atari computers. The bad guys in that game were called Zylons. I killed a lot of those guys back in the day, hence I am the bane of all Zylons. :thepimp:

That it abbreviates to the snazzy "ZB" was an unplanned bonus.

[Ace]

I originally wanted to be simply 'Ace', but that one had been seized already. So I registered as TopAce. I also wanted to register at Nodewars as Ace as well(at the beginning of my career at ITHOV), but that was seized as well. The name 'Ace' is seized everywhere, otherwise, so TopAce is my ideal choice.

The name came from X-wing vs. TIE fighter. I could reach the 4th Order Top Ace level in Single player, which is in theory impossible, and I am honourful that I could do it.

There can be only one Ace. mwuhahahaha!
