KathyC 997 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 To not be left out...pretty obvious. @Fuzzywuzzy I used to hang out on the CB roughly 40 years ago too! My handle there was AngelFace. Someone my first day gave it to me. The first person I talked to asked me my handle, I told him I didn't have one yet. He said I had the voice of an angel, so I probably had the face of one too. So AngelFace I became! JohnK6404, ellcee, PRebecca and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ampurp85 1,189 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 @KathyC I love when people tell other they have the face of an angel....not realizing its an insult. Research suggest that looking at an angel causes blindness or bleeding from the eyes...also that quite a few hated humans. Now KathyC sound real purty....real purty Also on another note how could some of you be on the CB 40 years ago...what type of genius babies existed back then?

GregD 1,575 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Mine is pretty self explanatory. It's what I do. The number comes from when I created the handle years ago in college.

sk8erguy1978 1,062 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 It's been a fun read so far! I've been using this name sk8erguy1978 and oppie328 around the web for years. I used to skateboard back in the 90's and was actually okay (at the time) I am also a male born in 1978. The 8 in the middle was me trying to be clever many years ago (8 = ate - although I do add the e back so? I was young LOL). The oppie328 is because in high school I was given the nickname Opie as many claimed I looked like Opie Cunningham. The 328 is my bday and the extra P is due to me trying to be slightly different (back in the late 90s) while embracing the nickname (I actually did like it).

Well I still do but I have also recently made a gmail account On 2/26/2020 at 10:29 AM, Ampurp85 said: I still use my AOL account for almost everything and my Gmail account for nothing. On 2/26/2020 at 7:25 AM, RWDW1204 said: Nothing wrong with AOL email. We still have ours, over 20 years now. I agree nothing wrong with using an AOL email for every day stuff but I wouldn't for job hunting. A lot of AOL emails are attached to whatever your screen name was (oppie328 is not a professional looking email), It can also show your age (I know shouldn't discriminate but employers do), and shows you're not embracing what's new/trending/etc. I made my wife create a gmail account when she was switching careers, it lets her look that little bit more professional. Otherwise, I kinda miss the AOL days. My wife and I met on AOL back in 98 before it was cool to meet people online. We dated for a few months and I broke it off because I'm an idiot. She stayed in our friends circle and we started dating again in 2004 and the rest is history. Maybe that's why she keeps her AOL email around?

Yep, that's why for job hunting related tasks I use my [email protected] only to keep it separate from my [email protected] I too have both my web used handles as gmails and a few others. I am trying to consolidate since they all go to my phone, I'm not really using them for the purpose of creating them (send the junk there). I've now since created a filter for the word unsubscribe, it works pretty darn good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KWong 407 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 KWong is obviously a first initial-last name. But normally I go by "starvenger" or "starvenger88" on message boards, and I've used it since the Usenet days. If you're on the DIS or CC, you'll find me using that handle. But as to what that means: 88 is lucky in Chinese. That's the easy part to explain. Starvengers is a late 70s/early 80s American adaptation of an anime called "Getter Robo G". Basically 3 jet-like vehicles could combine to form various robots.

Bonus points to those who know what I reference. I never reached that honor, doing the typical young man thing of dropping out of BSA shortly after I got my driver's license. I was 1 merit badge short of Eagle and reached Brotherhood in OA. I can't remember the Lenape name my dad had for his Vigil name but it translated to Big Puppy, which all of the gentlemen that picked it for him were quite happy at being able to poke just a little bit of fun at him. He worked for the council and was the Lodge Advisor. WAAAYTOOO and HeWhoWaits 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
