    Question Explain your forum name

    Ello chaps,

    In this thread we will be discussing our forum names and how we came about them. Ill go first i guess.

    My first time using it was in World of Warcraft, all of the other names i usually used where taken so i had to come up with a new one. I used to go down the coast a lot as a kid and still remember to this day, a kid and his dad ( from upland ) where in the store at Happy Wanderers Caravan park and he kept asking his dad in afrikaans for a Roomys. The kid didnt shut up the entire time he was in their and the dad started glowing red, they got to the cashier and he ordered one for the little shit walked outside with it and dropped it on the floor. Needless to say the kid was pissed started crying ran to the trampolines and fell onto the old concrete slabs they had surrounding them cutting his left ear open...The dad straight away ran back into the store got another icecream and told him not to tell mommy.

    So yeah thats the story of how i came up with my name, ill also post a pic of artwork i got done back in the day when i was in Sorted on the US servers.

    Please share your stories guys!!

    Not too hard my favourite anime character is Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew, since I love anything with cats.

    I like Vampires and Gothic themes. So basically, all things dark.

    So I wanted to mix those two together. Initially it was Vampothica, but I felt the "a" made it too feminine, so I instead shortened it to Vampothic.

    It's just something that came to mind while playing UT3, I think it was. Random thinking that lead to it.

    My name is Reuben, so everyone calls me Reubz. I've used it ever since I discovered the internet.

    My forum name isn't the one I've been going by for a long, loooong time. I switched to Zoop a long time ago, but then later changed it to Zewp because Zewp is roughly the sound a lightsaber makes. That's not really the reason I chose Zewp but I thought it was an interesting fact.

    I switched to Zewp from Zoop because Zoop is usually taken in most online games and I like to have the same name in online games that I use in gaming forums, so that people can easily find me online.
