ROFL! I guess the mods took me up on it!

In college I shaved my head. As it was growing back out I wore a hat during the "awkward stage". The had said "Solstice" across the front. For somebody who never wears hats I suppose people thought it funny to start calling me by that name. I don't really like it anymore. I should have used my regular alias - "Frothy Dog"

NascarFool, I was born on the banks of the Mississippi in Davenport. My parents moved the family out of Iowa 33 years ago. I'm now a Michiganian.

Actually, from living in Michigan for 6 years, the term is officially "Michigander".

I've used the name Kazer since at least 6 - 7 years ago online. I believe it was either Prodigy or Compuserve that I used to get online.

mine is a shortened version of my full online nick which i originally made for StarCraft several years ago and continue to use for Counter-Strike. D.D.D.D.Chea = Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

heck now that i notice it, im a "genuine member" which must be default. and to think i was on the original agn board for at least 2 years before i got here. i think an admin needs to give me sooomething better than "genuine member." come on admin, surprise me!

I am the fearless vampire killer that kicked Frost's butt! :jester

Actually I had this name before that movie and before the game called Sin. I had been collecting knives especially at that time and blade seemed like the best name. Sword, knife, etcc just didn't sound right as a name.

I'm also in the process of sueing wesley snipes for stealing my name.

LikeLinus · Post by **LikeLinus** » Tue May 01, 2001 8:19 am

mine has absolutly nothing to do with Linux, This name was before Linux ever became popular.

Its the name of a demo song by the band the deftones.

back in the day...like over 8 years ago..ugh...when the internet first started to catch on, i went by the name <b>FeedTheGod</b>. I still used that nic alot in games and other places. That name rocks. It just didnt work with the hardware trading community, so i chose LikeLinus instead. I now use it just about everywhere.

Thanks to the server problems any changes made since 5-1 are all gone.

But we may be updating to version 2 of vbulliten in the next few days and if so then you can add back in the pic by going to your profile.

In the meantime please post here for your thread titles which were changed back. Sorry about the problems.
