IcedUpPitotTube 0 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'd just thought I'd post this up, for people to share their anecdotes and background info about how you came up with your username. I'll start things off: My first name I came up with (registered on another forum) was "fsxplayer." That was WAY too generic, so I asked the admin to change it to "FlyingFalcon." I like the F-16 a lot, and obviously it flies, so... Then I got an inspiration from a guy that called himself "TheDrunkenCabDriver" on YT and on another forum. So I thought, "I could call myself TheDrunkenPilot"! But that would seem a copycat of his idea, and besides, it sounded unlawful, lol. So I came up with "IcedUpPitotTube". I plan to stay with this username for a long time... :biggrin: . I go with "IcedUpPitotTube" here, and on the AVSIM forums. I go with "FlyingFalcon" 3 other forums. Finally, on the Minecraft forums, I go with "TheCrazyCrafter". If you see either of those 3 names on a forum, it is most likely me. Share your background info! Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Good idea. Stu7708 has been around since I first created an online username back in 1997, and I've stuck with it where I can. Mine is rather simple. The Stu part was my callsign in radio- and morse code practice while I did my military service. Since Stu is a rather common user name, and was even back in 1997 I just added my birth year and birth month to it. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Mine is not difficult to explain. This chap is my hero! I spell my name with one "t" though. Link to post Share on other sites
JPS 0 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Well my username can trace it's way back to the Justflight forums where my username is "JustPlaneSimple". However when I came over to Mutley's Hangar I chose to abbreviate it to "JPS". Simple really :001_th_smiles89: please excuse the pun there :th_smiles73: Link to post Share on other sites
IcedUpPitotTube 0 Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 @Joe Your's was pretty obvious, lol. I'm just wondering, how did you get those pics of the dogs wearing aviator caps and goggles and airplane wings? Those were funny. @JPS Your name brought up a saying: "Just Do It" a.k.a JDI. Funny pun by the way. Link to post Share on other sites

SEATAC 400 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Mine is not difficult to explain. This chap is my hero! I spell my name with one "t" though. I used to love the "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines" cartoon when I was a kid. Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 First, let me just say that I like the wry sense of humor in your name, "IceUpPitotTube". My name should be pretty obvious for flying enhtusiasts. SEATAC is simply the abbreviation for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, also known as Sea-Tac Airport. I have nenver been to that airport, I just like the name. Also, it's famous for being the airport where Dan Cooper (popularly, but mistakenly, known as D.B. Cooper) released the passengers of the 727 which he had hijacked before the plane took off again and he flew off into history never to be heard from again. Link to post Share on other sites

TapA321 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Not really totally sure why. When I first joined the JustFlight forum back in 2005, I was only 12 or 13 years old. That summer we had been on holiday to Madeira. We flew on a TAP (Air Portugal) Airbius A321 ... therefore TapA321 Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well, I can't really remember mine - but I do seem to remember flying a Hurricane IC in some FS (might be IL-2) and being amazed four such big cannons could stay on the wings. This or the Airfix IIC kit I built and I got the mark wrong....... Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Mine's terribly simple... my username for the computers at my school was wisemanp (Surname plus initial), so that is my name on most online forums. The other one I use (youtube, for example) is Pacelweb. This goes back a lot further... when me and my brother were young, we had an imaginary company called PACEL which stood for 'Posh And Crabby Enterprises Ltd'. It had many spinoffs such as PACELRail and PACELAir, and also it's web design branch called PACELWeb! Link to post Share on other sites

IcedUpPitotTube 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Remember, quality over quantity... less posts that contribute greatly to the topic is better than a bunch of one-word grammatical-error filled posts.
