Glad you asked. I tried out a few "common" nicks until I got pissed off when I realized that people already where using my nick or newbies where copying the nick I had. So I thought it would be sweet to make something original, creative and something that most can't even pronounciate correctly. So here comes my nick "HsuGotaQ" that stands for "Hi! So U GOT A Question?". It's basically the phrase I use the most often when I help people out with their tech questions.

Personally, I have a lovely German last name, and so the majority of my profs and just various people that don't know me all pronounce it as "Junk", although phonetically, should be "Youngk"...

I'm the HAL 9000's great grandpa the MSX. I was as born 20 years ago, in Japan. I'm used to operate many nukelear missle silo's around the world. I also run shitty VGA games...

Or thats what most gues when they see it. MSX is my initals and I didint even know about the system till someone brought it up after I used the name for awile. In fact the only two things I really have in common with the system is my initals and I'm the same age as the system...

And being my parents are computer people it kinda creaps me out.


MSX


PS. I just suck at names.

WyreTheWolf is on a distinguished road
When I was about 5 years old I dropped a 15Lb sledge hammer on my foot. I howled in pain... My grandmother started calling me "her little wolf".

It stuck...

She has a very hevy scottish accent, and when she would say "Where is the Wolf?" it sounded more like WyreTheWolf.... and hence my name.

I have always used it... and I probably always will.

Necrosis will become famous soon enough
System Specs

Necrosis is my old sysop name from back in the old BBS days. I used to listen to nothing but death metall One day I was bored in study hall and flipped through a dictionary to look at all the words that begin with "necro". The rest is history.
