    So I'm not exactly new to vert, or bbs's in general, but I know nothing tends to go on here. So for the sake of conversation topic, where did some of you guys get your handles from?

    guys get your handles from?

    From honesty. My handle is my NAME. I don't believe in hiding behind falsehood and untruth. What a concept,huh?

    Song on Rush's 1982 album Signals. Yes, I've had this handle since 1982 (age 12)!

    A long time ago, someone made a mistake reading my "artist" name ... yes, part of it is David... I was working on a nickname to use on-line at the time...
    and it has stuck... WicDavid was born and as far as I have seen, there is not
    a single use of it by anyone else in the world... I could be wrong. But I am pretty sure that I am the only one who has ever used it... Now you have me thinking when that was actually.... I can not really remember...


    The one and only:

    I'm gonna bump this even though it's years dead, but in short:
    I did a bit of soul-searching / "scene" identity reboot in 2012 as most
    of my other handles were either dumber or longer/more cumbersome than
    this one, "Telerophon", which I remember having pop into my head and
    deciding I like the way it sounded. Of course, now I kind of regret how
    much it sounds like "Telephone", but whatever; that's not really a bad
    thing. As for why it sounds nice, I was only subliminally aware of this
    when I chose the handle, but look up "Bellerophon" if you are bored
    later after you log out. ;]

    My handle back in the day was Bigfoot because I had size 15 feet, which was ridiculous for a 5'8" kid. Luckily as I get older, they are shrinking. ;-)

    Hylian comes from my long passion with Zelda, Ocarina of time. When it first came out I thought it was the coolest game of all time. :)
