[kinetic]

As a kid I loved physics, and was completely obsessed with how cool potential vs. kinetic energy was. Then it was my email address, AIM, Flickr username, etc. So it just stuck as a handle I used on reef forums too.

I was wondering how ppl came up with their user names

Mine is what i was refereed to for years before starting a reef tank, during my days as a Rapper, DJ and Producer.

Follow up question, is it weird for you to be called that name in public or at events?

Since I was known as Roc for years, its actually common for ppl to call me that.

Easy.. my name lol...

 

[ashburn2k]

graduating art major and my art building is called washburn, so i took off the W and that became my nick, which I use everywhere else, 2k is added when someone took ashburn. but no dont call me ashburn, and no one calls me by that in real life.

A guy called ashburn on a forum about "reefers"? Sounds suspicious to me!

 

[ashburn2k]

do tell!

 

[JVU]

JVU are (sort of) my initials. Lots of friends and coworkers call me JVU, I think mostly because "John" is too common

The extra " ." after the JVU was just because the system wouldn't let me use less than a 5-letter name which I thought was odd since I swear I've seen other users with short usernames. I use JVU on other sites like R2R and RC. If a site admin can change it, that would be great.
