Rent-a-Geek. . . I thought you seemed a bit like him. heh. . . If I remember right, people got you and I confused at the Zmeet because of our nicks.
As for me. . .

Age: 20
Gender: M
Location: The U.S. (unfortunately)

My nickname has to do with jazz pianist/composer, Chick Corea. I used to listen to his music ridiculously often.

I can't remember exactly how I found Zgeek. I'm pretty sure it had to do with Nosedog's "Top Aussie" site. Either that, or the Trailerpark Page. I must have clicked the link to Zgeek on one of those and enjoyed what I saw. A bit later when I was bored, I remembered the URL, and from then on I was a regular visitor.

[RaZ]

A: 22
S: Male
L: Sydney (for now)

My handle has been my own since I ran a BBS before the net was BIG. The BBS was in Melbourne and many fun times were had with members.
I came to find zgeek by way of overclockers.com.au.
I have been a member with both since they were public.

[Asmodeus]

A: 27 - 28 next month (shudder)
S: Male
L: Chicago, IL

Asmodeus - One of 2 nicknames given to me a long time ago in high school. I was the evil flirty pervert thinker nice dude yeah.. the evil nice guy, figure it out.. some guy who was way into ad&d put that name on me, and it just kind of fit, so it stuck.

Also ended up fitting the other definition: Asmodeus - Hebrew demon of sensuality and luxury, formerly the creature of judgement.. etc etc etc

other nickname held at teh time which i pull out on occasion when i join a group (like my current bf1942 clan) and there already is an Asmodeus (we're everywhere).. DarkSaint - much for the same reason above.

[sperm]

Age: 32, and I think this is a poor measure of a person - esp. online; to me its generally meaningless.
Sex: male and overtly sexually obessesed (even more so than most guys !)
Location: melbourne
Status: married - imposed celibacy but otherwise mostly happy....

Tag: sperm - Ive had many tags, but lately Ive been using my 'sperm' moniker. In practical sense it sums up my character well, I like to revolve into risque humour, and the 'sperm' tag help alienate easily offended types I could well do without.
The origin of 'sperm' actually came from high school.
When we played ten pin bowling, you entered your full name in the electronic score sheet; but the summary only showed your initials, mine is SPM. As a joke players liked to try to pronounce these abbreviations.
So when it was someones turn, the general cry came out 'your turn sperm'
My best mates tag was similiarly 'enema'.
Most people are surprised that this tag wasnt generated from some lewd tale from my past .... I wonder why :p

A more bizarre story comes from my university nickname 'gamma'; alot of people never even got to learn my realname I was so famous !; but Ill save those details for another day.

zgeek: I came here from overclockers.com.au - I bought a computer late 1999, and mid-2000ish I was resourcing to resolve all the bugs it had. (I actually got more value from playing WITH the computer more, than playing ON it :p )
Ive only become a much more active forum participant since my work got all nazi on my online chatting activities :p

[mrwest]

A: 27
S: Male
L: Adelaide

I've never really liked this nick but it keeps coming back to haunt me. People used to call me Mr West because my last name was too long to handle. Also, my first ISP gave it to me when I couldn't think of one fast enough.

Can't remember how I found ZGeek, it was around 3 years ago, I think someone sent me a link. Lurked for a while, then joined after Pirate promised a ZGeek t-shirt to the 1000th member. Never did get that shirt... ;)

"geggle" was coined as a nickname for me by a Yr 12 student when I was in Yr 10. At the time I hated it, but it's fairly unique, that's why I use it now.

Oh and in person I am incredibly quiet... just ask Snowball.

Thats a shame geggle dude, Ive noticed at zmeets that a few other do too.
You get to know their online persona, and then the real thing is a little anti-climatic. Shy isnt bad tho, its just take adjusting.

Whereas me, Im pretty much the same offline as I am online (tho perhaps a little less well thought out).

Just ask snowball how hard it is to stop my prattling :p

DMSO stands for Dimethyl sulfoxide, a chemcial used as a solvent and to facilitate the movement of chemcials across membranes, for instance in muscle rubs. I use DMSO as a cryoprotectant to cryogenically preserve the germplasm (sperm / egg) of cute, endangered little fishes and birds so we can later rehabilitate the populations through captive breeding. I chose this name because I worked with cryopreservation for 7 years before I got into genetics. I dunno why, it just kind of stuck.

Originally posted by mysterious-dr-x

Well they are scenery posters, kinda. Except all the land formations are rather surreal. I think they are more interesting than the infinity one (which I find a bit boring due to the colors, looks ok on screen but not paper). Overall themes in the others are dark and blue.

Virtual Voyage looks ok but I don't like the regular objects in the front. The Nightscape and Iceworld don't seem to exist online. Maybe I have a collector's item in my hands. I'd take a low quality picture for you if I was where the poster is.

In my flat I have some Dali and the mandatory posters that are required to make a bachelor box complete, namely Tripwire security charts and chick posters and . :p

My avatar is the anime character Sesshoumaru, a sort of reocurring badguy and bigger brother of the main hero Inu Yasha in the show of the same name.. I picked him because we both, for the most part, walk around looking rather indifferent to worldly affairs =). ANIME! fwaaaaaaaar!

Age: 16, as of about a week ago.
Sex: Female.
Location: Somewhere over the rainbow.
My name comes from a little known Aussie legend. The gamooma is a little creature with long limbs and a lot of body hair. You can already see how fitting it is for me. The reason I really chose it, though, is because it runs across the road in front of cars and pokes it's tongue out, shocking the drivers so much they run off the road and into trees, meeting their firey doom. Mwahahaha!
My avatar is a picture I took using an old web cam. I held it up close to the screen and that's what I got. My avatar used to be a tin of spam, but then I noticed someone else had that one too, so I had to change it. Originality and all, y'know?
I haven't been coming here long... only a couple of months. I have already forgotten how I found zgeek. Damn my media induced short attention span! Ooh, look: a dancing banana :banana: tee hee!

Fenaughty....where have I heard that name before...It's been bothering me ever since I read it yesterday...

For some reason it makes me think of O'Shaunaussey

I would love to got back to Ireland too, but according to the immigration dept. i am living there, and have been for over 10yrs! YAY......maybe the last 10 years have been a bad acid flashback and i really did stay in dublin

What's your favorite part of zgeek then?

I never did reply to this thread yet...
well, im bored, so here goes:

Talken showed me ZGeek when i was a junior in highschool, during an accounting class. After about 6 months of lurking I registered. That was about a year and a half ago now...
*points to post count* I really still read more than post, usually only replying to threads when Ive got something relevent to add, or to whine about breifly.

Nick: well, i nicked it from a poster Talken made once for an accounting project. It stuck.

Utopian knows me better as Tornhelm, but thats another story.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot, I was drunk when I signed up, so I just used my name to formulate my nick. Plus my damned avatar will be changed from Sephiroth as soon as I can possibly manage it.:rolleyes:

I used to frequent the site fugly.com and linked over to this site about 1 1/2- 2 years ago. I had a different user name a while back but I stopped coming here. I chose this avatar because it kind of looks like me, and I like how her mouth is sewn shut.

[RASPUTIN]

Age: Really friggin old, Nah just 37
Sex: Only with wifey
Loc: A southern suburb of Sydney.

Nick: I was looking for a gaming handle when I first discovered online Quake 1 servers in all the demon sites and eventually came up with RASPUTIN, a sex mad monk who was hard to kill. Seemed to suite so I have used it ever since.

Sig: I've always bitten my cats back when they bit me and one day saw this saying. It amused me so I have used it ever since.

I don't know how I found zgeek, I think it was when tim came here from IHUG after he got the shits with the IHUG forums or when the cgla/ihug lans started but i'm not sure. I mainly lurk but occassionally when the job where I am at allows I will post up crap from time to time.

Good work Kyuss. Josh Homme is truly a master. Sadly, QOTSA is the closest thing nowdays - and whilst they are good, it's not quite "Welcome to Sky Valley".

After spending around half an hour clicking through the different combinations I saw robotoverflow, which I thought was damn funny at the time. Recently changed it to that after using Peregrine for just over a year.

Avatar: A selection of nothing in photoshop.

I came here after the first CLGA and lurked under another username for a while, then signed up again and began posting shit untill... well that hasn't stopped yet.

[Domster]

17, male, Auckland, NZ

Actually technically that's North Shore City, NZ - If you've ever been to Auckland you might know the distinction. Auckland is pretty much a commercial and industrial centre, whereas 'The North Shore' is all urban and sub-urban. Basically it's a place where families go to raise children - because it's nice and safe and boring and nothing ever happens there. It kinda reminds me of The Glass Menagerie: 'for all of these buildings are always burning with the slow and implacable fires of human desperation'

Yeah, I've been a member of Zgeek for ages now - well, much longer than most people I see with post counts in double digits anyway!

My nick is actually a corruption of 'Dumpster' - a fond nickname I've had since Intermediate (Jr High Equiv.)

My avatar is my character from 'Something Emporium' (http://end.at/some) - a comic site me and a mate put together in response to penny-arcade and a particular something awful article.

Oh, and the signature is because of my affinity for Weezer.

[Necron]

Age: 19
Sex: 'yes', ohh I mean Male
Location: Newcastle

Nickname: "Necron"

I suppose that Necron is a derivative of the latin word nekros, and has strong ties to Necromancy:

"The practice of supposedly communicating with the spirits of the dead"

Ok that sounds really wierd but Im not into that sort of thing. Although deriving from these things I just really like the nickname and first used it for Diablo 2, ironically the name of my Necromancer character. Im not 'sic' just 'Psycho horny', and my Devil Avatar suits my personality well!!! Horny devil:D

[durus]

Age 25 (soon to be 26)

Sex: I don't get any (but I'm male)

Nick: Came from Diablo 2. Used to use dragoon on blizzard forums (posting on starcraft threads before it was made), till they stole it and used it as a unit name in starcraft. Suggested the Battleship Yamato btw. :) Although I actually wanted a gun more along the lines of robotech.
Nick is for a barbarian Diablo 2 character. Durus is latin for rough/tough/durable/barbaric etc.

Location: Melbourne, have travelled a lot, but expect to call melbourne home again for the next few years.

Avatar: I like dragons. Must find something better though.

Found this here place: Years ago. People I knew from BBS's got me into it. Never really bothered paying it much attention after a few people faded out of my life...

Since starting work at Ozefail and it coming up in conversation with some people who worked there I decided to start using the oz.org IRC server again, and then joined the forums. I've never been one for forums before, but I'm enjoying this one.

Time to revive this thread for the newer newbs

[MC SoD]

I'm not new, but I haven't filled out this survey so, here goes:

"Since someone asked in another thread A/S/L, and why the user name we chose, how we came to zgeek, and there isn't a current thread on the matter..."

A: 22 (yesterday, same b/day as Pirate... do I get a prize for that?)

S: Female

L: Melbourne

Username: From the episode of Seinfeld when they are trying to think of nicknames for the Lopper, and Kramer suggests a variation on "Son of Sam" being "Son of Dad". I like the joke, so took the name, even though it sounds masculine.

Zgeek: Came years ago under a different name, an old friend showed me the site in Feb or Mar 2000, which was VERY early on in the show, but I lurked for a long time before posting... then posted a lot... then stopped for a while, then came back as SoD.

[Thyrd]

A: 19

Nic: I am known to say "third times the charm", so I put an RPG spin on the word third, and there you have it. Thyrd.

Avatar: I told a troll that they would be eaten alive by rabid monkeys. A quick google for rabid monkeys came up with my current avatar.

I found salvation(zgeek) through: A mate of mine at a weekly lan I go to told me about zgeek and showed me, but at the same time he showed me tubgirl and lemon party and goatse, so I was kind of discouraged from coming here again. When I started posting on the penny arcade cult forums, I found that they were all wankers. I remembered about zgeek and came for a look. Zgeek=:D
