A new era (for me at least)

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.
