Ace Nova Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I came up with mine initially as a play on words... way back during the America Online days when instant messaging first became popular and we would talk to random people online. I thought it would be a cool moniker to pick up chicks with....and it actually worked....on several occasions. Ahh, what it was like to be young and dumb. So what's the story behind your username?

slash23579 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) My name is just something I came up with when I was making a YouTube account in 2008. I originally made the account to post comments on videos, but eventually started uploading GNR related videos. Right now my channel has almost 850,000 total views which I think is pretty good. The "slash" part obviously a reference to Slash, and I can't really remember what the "23579" means, I guess I just wanted something easy to remember.

AtariLegend Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Randomly made up, when I first registered on the forums. Thought it sounded cool. Didn't realize until afterwards that it was some website url....and nope, I grew up with my Sega Mega Drive 2 (Genesis). Atari's were a bit before my time.

Gracii Guns Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Shouldn't have to explain it to Guns N' Roses fans. As long ass they guess that my name is Grace. IRL, lots of friends call me Gracie as a pet name, so it works with the alternate spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
