Oh, I noticed your tings. How did you get so many tings with 14 posts?

I put my lum race thing ( I don't know what its called in english ) score from rayman 3 on the scoreboard on here. I was wondering at first why I had so many tings and had to search around.

Ah, yes, Humch made the system so that it would automatically give tings according to a certain criteria.
What score did you attain, Zepto?
Also, I'm just going to give you a ting to put you on multiples on 5, it bugs me if it's not the case.

My most common username, Cuddlesnowy, is based on my childhood teddy, Snowy Bear. It used to be the address of an old Geocities site I had years ago, and I've just stuck with it.

Electoons have always been one of my favourite characters in the Rayman universe since I first saw them at the ripe old age of 5 :P. When joining this forum, I entered in 'Electoon' as a joke, because I was convinced that someone would have already snagged it at the first opportunity. I was so shocked to find that no-one had, that I thought 'this username is mine now!'

Fun fact - I used to be known under the name 'Doh' in The Simpsons community when I was new to the internet. I used to be amazed at how many websites I could sign up to under that alias, including Nohomers.net and the official Simpsons Movie website :P

For the longest time, I was haunted by the number 343. I'm not sure why, but it seemed to be everywhere, on number plates, signs, it would always be on the clock, It'll always be in the number of youtube video views, etc etc. I researched this to make sure I wasn't crazy, and weirdly enough, I wasn't! apparently a large number of people get this as well.
So my name is a little deep, Let me explain
Luck - It's very well known that seven is the luckiest number, and I wanted to use the word "luck" rather than seven, sounded cooler!
Cubed - think of the mathematical term for cubed, times by itself 3 times
7 Cubed = 343
I am very fond of my name, I feel it sounds neat, and has a little back story to it. :D

Hehe, that is pretty neat, and a clever name indeed with that sort of thinking.

Ah, Electoon, nice to see you pop in! How are you!?

it's quite simply this. when i first met my step-brother Josh, he was playing fire emblem 7.(which now belongs to me) dart, a recruitable pirate from a honorable pirate ship The Davros, was the among the first i saw in the game, he immediately became a part of me just as Josh had. about 5 years later I met davros, a villain of doctor who, which inspired me to re-instate the user "dartofthedavros" instead of a basic jumble of letters and numbers.

Not bad :). My lack of posting has actually been because I moved to my university campus last month and I'm still settling in. It's been good so far, although it will be even better when I get my PC back and can start working on projects again. I imagine the work load will start building up soon though ;)

My Username, was obviously rushed, so no originality there. But I hope to change it, as soon I come up with something better.

I created my username when I was on the Raymanzone forums.

"boomboleros" is the French name of the "Hoodboom", my favorite enemy from my favorite Rayman game, and "7" is one of my favorite number.

When I decided to join the Pirate Community, I've kept that username :)

Re: Why did you pick your username?

When I was setting up my Youtube account many years ago, I picked the name "sonicbrawler182".

"sonic" obviously comes from the fact I love Sonic.
"brawler" comes from the fact I was loving Super Smash Bros. Brawl at the time (and still love it). Both words together referenced Sonic being my main in Brawl.
"182" came from the fact I liked the band "Blink-182" when I was younger.

So it's just your typical stupid kid username. I kept it for every other network/website I join simply because it means I don't have to remember a bunch of different usernames, and to make it easier for people to find me on different sites.
Please check out my YouTube channel, specifically my Sonic Lost World "Talkthrough"!

as i've said before, mine is because of Holy Crap Productions, which is the "company" name i use for my animations.
I never had reasons for my username. Thought of an "Original" name, and Eredin was the name that randomly popped up.

I have always been a huge final fantasy fan (up to 10, X2 digusted me :/ and I have never tried the newer ones), so I choose tidus as a nickname when I started to go on forums or other internet stuff!

And the story behind 457 is a bit generic: it's just what hotmail suggested me when I created my first hotmail address, as tidus was a bit to common :D
From there, I got used to it and decided to keep it like that ^^
