Interesting.I am confused as to why it doesn't go like 123581321, 1122335588 or something like that, though. X.x

Well the actual Fibonacci sequence starts like this: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8.... if that makes a bit more sense

U[n-1]+U[n-2]=U[n]? where U[0]=0 and U[1]=1. When it goes negative, every other number is positive. 0,1,-1,2,-3,5,-8,13...

Hm, I think I didn't explained mine...

So, as far as I can tell, juju2143 was my first username, long ago when I signed up for some kids' section of some website.

So juju is a diminutive of my real name, Julien. Seems my brother Justin has the exact same diminutive, so he's somewhat part of the reason. And no, it's not related to Tak and the Power of Juju. Then, obviously, I had to put some numbers after the name, so I opted for 1234, but was too boring, so I inverted the numbers 2 by 2. And no, it's not related to Battlefield 2142.

I have an alternative nickname, which is Sonikku, because I love Sonic the Hedgehog and japanese things. Sonikku is the japanese translitteration of his Japanese name. I use it where juju makes everyone think I'm a girl, because in French, Juju is a common girl nickname. I sometimes prefix a DJ to it because I like doing music.

Also worth mentioning my website, julosoft.net, comes from my other diminutive, Jul, and the suffix -osoft, like Microsoft and the such.

My name is Michael_Lee, and it's because... erm... my name is Michael Lee.  Not very creative, but it's a common name (pseudo-anonymity) and it functions.

I actually wanted my name to be 'Deflect', because I already have an account by that name on other forums, but somebody had already taken it on this one.  So I considered, and decided that "Goddamnit - I'm going to be coding programs and making things happen, and I will feel no shame associating myself with my future achievements!"

Well, something like that, anyways.

Yeah I think the guy has 1 post too. he joined the first time we made Slashdot. (The OS 2.1 anti-downgrade news)

When you joined Cemetech and TIBD I thought it was him but then I saw references to your alt nickname here.

I used to refer myself as Kevin Ouellet whenever I made a game before, but due to my extremly bad reputation in the community back in 2006-08, I eventually started refering myself as DJ Omnimaga. However, the people that disliked me eventually moved on, then I started using Kevin Ouellet again in my readmes from time to time.

The reason why I was hated is because Omnimaga rules disallowed trolling and I often overeacted to negative stuff.

It's short for emo, although stylized a bit. I'm not emo, but for a while I was very scene. Meh, it just kinda took hold and I've been Eeems ever since.

Oh, and my name totally didn't came from there.

Literally, my first vegetable garden.

My grandparents corrected this collection of book, by the way.

Lol juju, I was worried O.O. J/k XD

Also glad someone revived this thread. I thought about doing that soon, as I wondered about some of the new members and last time it got bumped activity was a bit lower.

My name came from a need for a name for a paranormal forum. At the time I was reading Homer's The Illiad so I decided, HOMER-16 (16 being my favorite number) I've been alternating between S1ay3r44 and HOMER-16 ever since.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...
