[Siberianfury]

My favorite animal is a siberian tiger, so mine is an adaptatin of that, thought it sounded better than "siberian tiger" or "josh" lol, plus it was my youtube username so i thought i may aswell have the same one.

 

[Melonfish]

Well back in 1998 me and a m8 used to work for an ISP called U-Net and i was building my first website (the madness of king lovatt) anyway one page had a gif from my m8, it was a tin of fish and the fish on the tin had a slice of melon for a body and a speech bubble saying "bloody scientists"
so Melonfish was born, before hand i'd been known as "D34th" then "Genex" although Genex was so beyond copied it was unreal. Melonfish i think fits well tho.

 

[mart]

I belive mine comes from Mars the Roman god of war.

[bearbait]

Mine comes from a close encounter of the ursine kind: a black bear and I occupied the same point in space and time - he (or she) came and trampled all over my tent while I was asleep in it. I like to think it was just being bothered by my snoring while it was trying to feed nearby and wanted to shut me up (it did). I was being "bear aware" in my camp and am even more so now. On the edge of Mt. Revelstoke National Park in B.C., Canada.

[tombear]

Back in the days of yore when computers were new to my world I was sat at a terminal for the first time and the machine demanded I enter a name that wasn't my real one I panicked and the only thing I could think of me was the (to be) wifes pet name for me.

The initial embarrasment wore off and it sort of stuck since being large, fat and hairy I did seam quite ursine to meny.

Briefly, on another site I was "FrogLube" but now I'm always "tombear"

Not very gripping but there you are!

Tom

[myotis]

Sixteen years ago, when signed up to to my first email service, I was asked for a "nickname". At the time I primarily earned my living as a bat ecologist, and "myotis" was the first thing that came into my head.

I have used it, or "myotisone" when myotis is already in use, for everything ever since.

Graham

 

[Wallenstein]

Mine's from the main character in a play by Friedrich Schiller... few years ago I was writing my dissertation on Schiller's works and spent a lot of time online to avoid studying, so decided to adopt the name of my nemesis!

 

[Rebel]

My username means: (It has other meanings also but these are the ones I subscribe to.)

1. To refuse allegiance to and oppose by force an established government or ruling authority.
2. To resist or defy an authority or a generally accepted convention.
3. A person who dissents from some accepted moral code or convention of behaviour, dress, etc.

Which just about sums me up, but these days I'm usually diplomatic about my rebelliousness.
