A Question To All The News Section Contributors
I'm curious- how did you all choose your profile names?
I'm not asking for any personal information, or anything that could uniquely identify you, so please bear this in mind when answering. I'm just curious, and unlike most of my posts, there is not agenda here, hidden or otherwise.
I'll start...the 'SP' are the initials of the street I lived on when I got my first home PC, and 1814 refers to my favourite album at that time (Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814).

When I was about 12 or 13, I started regularly using an online forum dedicated to a series of strategy games called Total War. I've never liked usernames with lists of numbers and, being 12 or 13, decided to just make up a silly word, "Kromovaracian". It stuck and is still my handle for most forums and discussion boards I go on (though there are a couple of others I sometimes use).
The original word was too long for AB, so I had to reduce it by a couple of characters. Ta daaa.

For me, when I created my first email account, I had to chose a password. I could not think of anything but in the end the keayboard I was using called keyplus. So I used keyplus but password had to have digits so I just added 90. Why 90, I have no idea but since then password has changed but keyplus90 stayed with me one way or another.
