i've wondered how some out there came by their user names.mine is from where i live,on haida gwaii in northwest british columbia.the haida are the indigenous people from here,and the word gwaii is their word for island.so 'haida gwaii' literally means 'islands of the people'.i chose it because it is different and describes my situation a bit here.i'm a bit of an island of mechanical insanity in this wet paradise......others?
 
Well i got mine because it is a nickname that i go by, also it is short for my last name.


also as a shock to ppl i also drive a B2 =D
 
i made this "handle" when I was 11 or 12 for a game. I don't know where the master part came from. but Heco is short for Heathcliff and that was my cat that died at the age of 18.
and then later on Master Heco became master Hec0 and thats a long story about that change so im not going to get in to it. I just kept using it for games then it became my online handle plus its unique nobody else has it. and it's funny listening to people try and pronounce Hec0.
 
countryboy been my cb handle for years. and i do live in the country
 
When I first started playin around on the internet back in high school I joined a forum called g1teg.org for 1st generation integra owners ('85-'89 Acura Integra) which I owned, as Mclaren_f1 well after high school I lost interest in the forums and internet and I moved on to rangers. Then I Joined here as ranger obviously and my all time favorite car the Ameritech Mclaren F1. The name has stuck as I use it on almost all other forums I also go by sonymclaren on others.

Hopman is a nickname I had back in high school. It's a take-off of my last name, Hopkins.
 
hmmm...mine was fairly simple...Nate is my first name and my last name means rose bush in german.
 
I used "Leddemo" many, many years ago for a game. Most of the time my callsign was "Ledd" for short.

Then I grew the beard.

This massive afro-like growth on my face that many for a little while said I had a U-boat beard. I was on the pirate side of the battle (pirates vs ninjas) anyways and we joked around that I was a scurvy sea captain, yeah, me and my friends are lame like that. But I did look like an old school pirate.

So after several iterations of the name, mostly I go with Captain Ledd on forums.

My avatar is from a "Rocko's Modern Life" episode called "Fish and Chumps". It featured a character known as Crappy Jack, who'm I thought was an awesome character, and they should have made more episodes with him in them.

Lets see here.

I am a Indiana University fanatic: Hoosier
My 2 favorite #'s are: 11 & 4 (I had these numbers on my jersey when I played soccer for the better part of 20 yrs as well)

Combine then together hoosier1104. Not the exciting story everyone though it was right.
 
i claim New mexico as home, and thats where I really built my B2 into a rock crawler. So... NMB2
 
I flyfish as much as I can, and had a fishguy@ email address since forever. Started geocaching a while back and added the GC to it for that forum. Got a 98 Grand Cherokee and did some mild wheeling with it, signed up for my local jeep club, the GC worked there as well.
Stuck with it...
