A new era (for me at least)

[PaxBritannia]

I don't know if anyone is like me, but sometimes I just feel as if it's time to have a new online identity.

Times when:
-your email gets 30 spam emails every day
-you changed have the passwords for your accounts and not the other half so you don't know which password for which account
-people "steal" your username

Well, I do.

Identities in the past:
i_like_win25
Conpaxist
Fortissima
Fortiori
a Fortiori
PaxBritannia

See a pattern? All of them (with the exception of the first) are either latin or made of latin roots (con-pax-ist).

a brief translation:
Conpaxist - One interested (ist) with (con) peace (pax)
Fortissima - Bravest/strongest
Fortiori - Very brave/very strong
a Fortiori - Very brave/very strong
PaxBritannia - styled off Pax Romana

Post mortem:
It is funny how for both Conpaxist and PaxBritannia, people referes to me as simply "pax" while for Fortissima, Fortiori and a_Fortiori, people refered to me by the full name. After reading various books, it becomes clear why.

If people like your username, they take it. After becoming famous-ish in a few games (mainly runescape), people decided to create emails with "my" user.

And thus:

I have come to the conclusion that I should create a new identity, that being...
ad hinc stet

This is another Latin phrase. It means "From here on, let it stand". And don't try and steal it. I've already gotten it registered in nearly everything I can find!

Stet.

i have had hallsofvallhalla for about 12 years now.....

[Tony Richards]

I've used Sgt Flame for about 12 years as well, but mostly I only use that name in IRC or in games.

On forums and such, I normally use my real name as I think it helps with building a reputation (good or otherwise).

[SpiritWebb]

I've had mine for the past 3 years...before that was Wandering Spirit (which I still use on occasion)...

[Last Known Hero]

I've had Last Known Hero since just before me and Halls were working on Forsaken Sanctum, how long has that been Halls?
