Post by: TVC15 on January 16, 2020, 11:17:40 PM: I think this is the first place I was TVC15, mebbe? Or maybe on blog comments somewhere. I was White Man here but I made Willco change it because I didn’t want to be associated with this toilet. And then he fucked up and named me “TVC 15” instead of “TVC15” AND iirc he got really bitchy about it when I castigated him for his fuckup. Nobody ever fixed it. Fuck you all.

I was Wrath2X since the 3rd grade. Luckily I dropped the 2X and never will I ever reveal what it stood for.

Post by: TVC15 on January 16, 2020, 11:22:40 PM: I also still have to use “White Man” for my login name. “TVC 15” doesn’t work. We want a mobile mode and they can’t even give me a coherent login experience? What would’ve happened if I drank the name “White Man” out of my head? It would’ve been chaos! Chaos!

If it wasn’t for a drug induced Iggy at David’s house thinking that the TV was eating his girlfriend, we’d never have this masterpiece. Munch on TVC15.

Post by: Himu on January 18, 2020, 03:46:00 AM: I picked the name himuro in 8th grade on a Squaresoft message board. This was in 1999-2000. I refuse to reveal the full username I had. It was weeb shit. Someone already had the nick Himura Kenshin so I changed the a to an o and added something else.

I tried to get rid of my old name and I finally did it.

This really is the truth.

Post by: Nintex on January 18, 2020, 06:00:14 AM: I first went by the name of Cobra X.
Then I played GTA Vice City around 2002/2003 that had a car named 'Virgo' and the Matrix was popular.
So it became Virgo The 1. (Dumb kid me didn't quite know what 'Virgo' meant other than the GTA car :lol)

Around the time I got an Xbox 360 with Forza 2 I changed to something that included both 'Nintendo' and 'Xbox' but would at the same time be a throwback to the old brand of Cobra X.
After an intensive creative session and brand exploration I came up with 'NinteX'.

Ninte(ndo)X(box)

When I joined NeoGAF I added ban shielding and a further reference to both the Nintendo logo and box from Xbox so it became [NinteX]
But then of course the minimalist trend started to take a hold so again a rebrand was in order.
So currently the official brand name is 'Nintex'.

Did you know that in 2006 an Australian technology company was formed and called itself 'Nintex'?
They contacted me because they wanted the Twitter handle and YouTube name as they later discovered I owned the brand. Originally I figured it was a scam so I ignored it.
But after some back and forth I sold them both and got my drivers license and first car with the money. Still, in 2019 I would've asked much more than I got because the brand is currently way more valuable.
The great thing about it though is that I can post whatever the hell I want on the internet and it is very hard to dig up something that will prevent from holding office on Google.
Simply because Nintex SEO game is very strong I am not only mostly anonymous on the internet but my handle is also protected by a corporate marketing strategy.

:snob

Post by: Dickie Dee on January 18, 2020, 02:55:04 PM: Mamacint was my college login starting in '99. I had heard of GAF around 00/01 and found the gaming side to be a pretty good vidya news aggregator. I only lurked incredibly sparringly and never even bothered registering until like '04/05 (I remember using my first work email).

I almost never went to OT.

Except for one morning killing time before class I randomly clicked over and saw a thread about an (assumed) private plane crashing in NYC, so now I forever have the ignominy of first hearing about 911 from fucking GAF. :doge
