    Wink Why did you choose your screen name?

    Let me start

    Back en secondary school we used to hand out a lot at the arcade near school. So I started calling myself the nickname arcade.
    Later That turned into The Arcade. Later Da Arcade.
    By high school I started spelling it as DaArcade. and later with a 'k' LOL so it would be DaArkade. Finally I got rid of the extra 'a' and it ended up as it is today. Darkade

    Speedwell is an old English tuning company that specialised in performance Volkswagens in the 1960s and 1970s, and I am into the things they did. And I drive a 1968 Volkswagen bus. So Speedwell68 it is.

    My dad came out with the username the first time we had internet service. We had to come up with a login for the ISP so we chose "jualin" a mix of my name, Juan, and my sister's and my mom's name, Alina.

    My name is from the programming language perl and the rest means I love perl. However I really don't like perl, but I have been using the name since 1997. So I have stuck with it.

    Bad translation for "awesome" in French ~ "Le Froid". Later found out le froid meant "cold" or "cool". Just kept word Froid and Le-Froid out of laziness

    Mine started a couple of years ago as "Lisati Leoleo", a BAD translation of my real name into Samoan. Later, before I joined the forums, I dropped the "Leoleo", and kept "Lisati".

    I thought sisco is the short form of Francisco (Ferenc - Hun, Francisc - Rom). D'oh.
    311 is a semi-random number.

    Re: Why did you choose your screen name?

    My name is Ken. My other initials are BW
    Hotmail (my first account since I escaped from AOL) didn't have kenbw@hotmail.com available, and it suggested kenbw2 to me.
    And so it sticks

    Oh crap, now everyone knows my Hotmail address. Good thing I never use it

    Hehe, it's been months since I last check on mine. I wonder if it's still active... anyway I don't even remember my password... maybe firefox does. LOL
