Sometimes my curosity kills me. Maybe it kills you, too! In your response, if you choose to respond, tell some more about your username. Like, WHY you chose that, and HOW you pronounce it.

Only tell as much as you feel comfortable telling. And if you aren't comfortable telling anything, then don't reply.

For example:

DMo224 First of all, that was a nickname of mine, without the 224, at a place where I used to work. So, I just kept it. It's pronounced DeeMo and it's the first initial of my first name plus the first 2 letters of my last name. I used to keep the 224 secret, but someone guessed it along time ago. So, that's my birthday. Now that you know, you don't have to send me any gifts, large quantities of money is just fine!

Now that you know more than you wanted, who else will share about their username?

Dave

Well... I'm not sure why I use it... I liked Omega Media Design because it just rolled off the tongue.

I used to use the usernames "SpiralFreak" and "OmniShock" on other forums, no reason for them either... haha

Nice Topic DEEMO

Well, mine was originaly FWT-Tim

The initials of a previous site I sold that used to be the HUB for Webmaster-Talk (actually used to be the FWT Forums) and then my first name.

I could have maybe put more time into my NEW username (Chief), but I was just trying to think of one that showed authority. Not that I have authority over any of you, but do set up the rules on the forum (along with the other mods and admins).

Who is next?

Mine (sorta) came from the character Priss from the anime Bubblegum Crisis (the original series, not 2040). My friends said I reminded them of her, so it stuck.

Of course, after a couple of years, the name "Priss" had become popular, and oftentimes it was taken, hence the name "Prissed".

Do we need to guess on how you got that?

One day at the hospital, Mrs. Schroeder had a bouncing baby boy. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder said, "We'll name him Tim, because some day he'll be Chief of his own forum. Whatever a forum is." And thus began the saga of Webmaster-Talk and the infamous TimSchroeder!

Well, mine is, if you don't know where it came from, VERY interesting. Some of you probably think that it means something like solidified tequila, rolled up and smoked like a "joint." Well, actually, that is 100%... wrong.

The name came about while I was searching for fonts. Surprisingly, one of them had a very creative name, Smoking Tequila. I kind of liked it, so I started using it (the name, not the font) and everybody just kind of starting knowing who Smoking Tequila was, and calling my ST (which, BTW, I hated.)

So, pretty boring, yet oh, so creative.
