Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

(Old) Youtube user name that I used for about a million sites but forgot the true origin of. I mostly use it as a handle now for changeable/other names.

I used "mushmoom" for the first time when I set up my runescape account (no laughing  <_<) in 2006.  I wanted to be mushroom, but that name was already taken.  I didn't want any numbers in my name (who came up with that crazy idea?), so I opted for mushmoom as my pseudonym. 
the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma...

My brother thought of his name "hellcatsilver" and me and him always did everything together, so I was hence forth known as "Hellninjas"!

What is your nickname ?
« Reply #189 on: April 16, 2014, 07:29:09 am »
So we have topics for avatars and sigs, but I'm pretty sure we don't have one for nicks. So here we go. :P


My previous nick (Streetwalker) was after a Michael Jackson song I liked a lot.
Since you prolly know what it means (I didn't back then :P), I decided to change it. The idea came from Juju before everyone switched to Omninet, the silly nick lenght limit to 8 chars on Efnet made me appear as "Streetwal". That's how Juju came to call me Streetwalrus. :P


I had many other nicknames before these two that I currently use, so if I'm not too lazy, I might get around posting about them.

Eh, there's a topic floating around somewhere. I'll merge it later if I find it. :P

Yea, it's pretty old so that's probably why.

The way the search is setup now (SMF defaults I think) makes it harder to find anything. The best thing would be if the settings from the old board were restored. It wasn't that great but it was more reliable. By default I think everything is set to 100 or something like below, while normally, option 3, 5 and 6 should be 0%, else those options totally ruin search results.

I was sure that Streetwalrus was meant to be a joke about Turiqwalrus nickname, intending to be Streetwalker and his nick combined together. :P At one point Turiqwalrus considered changing to Turiqwalker. :P
