Its a Forum, does it matter? obviously there are limits, but refering to Killing or Killer, i cant see a problem, mine is silentKill because i like my shooting to be silent, and it was probably better than silentbunnymurderer!

The Duncan Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 like what? Pecker, Pecker head etc. Don't sweat it! But I know what you mean with some of the borderline psychotic sounding user names. Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) I think that a well thought up name is an asset and says something about the person-i also think that (sometimes) a persons user name gives you a clue as to the type of person behind it-peopole who use simple abbreviations of their names are likely to be no-frills down to earth "get on with it" types whereas those with clever names are those who spend too much time on the internet and not enough out shooting-people who are "newbies" and use stupid names like "pigeon slayer" etc are simply sexually self sufficient-and easy to spot.

The Duncan Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 When your actual name translates as 'Dark Warrior', why would you not use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eye Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Strange that people who shoot, gut, skin, etc things for a hobby can find a user name hard to deal with. Oh, mines Australian slang. Work it out :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
