i was just curious how you guys came up with your aliases. usually there is a story or some sort of anicdote behind it. mine is simple. my name is "rocky" but my best friend calls me rockster...and i was born in 1977. not very inventive...i know, but...

rider is my last name and what a lot of friends call me. Occ was the name of our crew in high school or something like that. Just kinda stuck with this as my online name ever since.

my nickname is goodnet of course I created it when signing up for the MSN Internet Gaming Zone (really the first thing i ever signed up for on the internet) around 3-4 years ago when first getting the net. I wanted the nick to be non-ego-centered and present me as a good guy on the 'net. So outta that, came "goodnet". I have stuck with it since!

Back in 1984 when I started on the commodore 64 pirate scene I needed an alias... so I chose 'Swamp Thing' ... From then I started to trade with people in Norway & Sweden by mail with padded envelopes with 5 1/4" floppies inside I must say I got some kickass imports that I'd release here in North America.. I was the euro guy... guess I still sorta am with all this trance stuff now.. hehe
.....When I got on IRC in the mid 90's EFnet IRC limited the size of your alias so I was forced to use Swamper....... Others I've used: Swampuh, SwaMP3r, Swampsta...
There ya go.

I've got quite a lot nicks, but this one is the first one I used, and still the one I use most. Actually I hate it now, but it's not very tactical to use different nicks at different places, cuz you always forget which nick you use where. I came up with it the first time I used internet, signing up for some chatbox. I really had no idea what to choose, so I just placed my fingers on the keyboard and hit a few combinations. Eventually this was the result.
The other nicks I use (in places that don't need signing up and stuff) are mostly from the game Final Fantasy 7 (still the best game of 'em all I think...), just because they sound nice. An example is "BaHaMuT."
I like this topic by the way. It's good to talk about something else once in a while

When I got really into trance music, I also really really wanted to be a Dj... My friends joked around and called me Dj Scoobz (for stupid reasons), I was like no way am I gonna be called Dj Scoobz what if I become famous and need a name..so I made up Dj Furee, now my friends still make fun of me and call me Dj Puree, but I think Furee is a cool alias, now all I need is to become a dj, that's the hard part
she's Fureeous..
latez...
