How did you come up with your user name????

[tlandauer]

Here is how I picked my name: total lack of imagination!!

[siberianhusky]

I guess I've been using the same username for everything online since the first time I had to sign up for something. Makes it easier to remember.
Most everywhere I go I have the huskies with me, more people know my dogs than me.

[Shovelnoserc]

My first RC boat was a nitro shovelnose, Let's see if I can find a pic.

[nate]

My name ^ :p

[egneg]

Last name backwards.

[mitchesx]

LOL I was asked where the **** I came up with mine... I work in the IT field and one of my first jobs was for the US Postal Service. For your user account ,they use the first 6 letters of your last name, your first initial, and your middle initial.... Well, I have no middle initial, so they use an X.... Kinda stuck...

Great thread. Tony - That vehicle does NOT look like it has enough flotation.....and where is the propeller on that thing?

I got name from the bowling alley after a couple 300 games. Unfortunately, I had to quit this year after 30+years.

[T.S.Davis]

I had a user name many moons ago. RCJUNKY because well......ahm am. After the red board crashed in maybe 2003 we all had to re-register so I changed it to T.S.Davis because I wanted people to know who the heck I was. Now I use that for all things forumy.

Tony is not the properchopper. That photo is however a proper chopper.

[JRPLANE]

jrplane, it my initials and I fly rc planes

[785boats]

Back in the day, when I mostly built 'Scale' boats, most of them were powered with the 'Johnson 785' brushed motor. Cheap, reliable & fast enough.

One day when I turned up at our Boondall club with my latest pride & joy for a maiden, an old salt asked, "Is that another one of your 785 boats?"

When I finally learnt how to use a computer & signed up on a website, that was the only thing that came to mind for a Tag. It just stuck & I used it for everything.

[blowNover]

Started out here as genestein and after way over powering a genesis and learning I love seeing my boats gliding as far out of the water as possible asked to have it changed to blowNover because I seem to do it a lot.

[Apophis]

Back in the late 90's I got hooked on an online game called Ultima Online. Played that game for years lol and my favorite character I played was named Apophis. (Yea I'm a nerd) The name came from the show Stargate, it was on Showtime back then not syfy. The name stuck as my tag on every forum I joined since, makes it easy. Plus now that they named the earth killing asteroid after ME it makes it more fun!

[electric]

No imagination at all....couldn't believe it was available for a user name, chuckle. Pretty easy to remember.
