View Full Version : Your Online Persona
We all have one.. right?
But my question is, does your persona also go on into other online forums, social networking sites, chats, etc.
I'm more or less the same on every forum I frequent, with slight variations in name, depending on the nature of the board.

Seconded.

Yep, I'm Lazerboy5000 everywhere you go.... except for YouTube, because the name was already taken (:sad:). So I'm Lazerboy50000 there.

I go by a variety of aliases online. I'm phw at the places I frequent the most, but I also go by Chipperluva10, KitsuneRose, and a few others. The latter two I used more a few years ago but I've gotten rather attached to the phw name so use that pretty much everywhere else anymore.
Ishtar
06-03-2008, 06:22 PM
Ishtar is almost always my name on other sites and forums. I might be known as Ishtar318, which was my original name her before I changed it, on a few, though.
Lavenderpaw

Lavenderpaw,mainly.And a multitude of other aliases from Hotmail to Neopets to Myspace to here starting at the age of 10 or 11.
Dr.Pepper
06-03-2008, 06:33 PM
I'm pretty much Dr.Pepper everywhere except for a KND forum where I am numbuh1212 and on Pokemon themed sites I am Missingno.Fan.

Basically that.

I might use a different name on other forums I go to, but I'm always the same person both online and not online.
Desensitized
06-03-2008, 06:48 PM
I alternate between Desensitized (my general handle) to JDesensitized if the name has been taken.
I try to be myself, but less sarcastic since it doesn't translate too well online.

not really known to go elsewhere online where it requires user input. but, if i game online with the wii or ds i'm always the falcon
ROBOTRON
06-03-2008, 07:20 PM
I am ROBOTRON all over the place...I'm like a rash all over the interwebs. I belong to quite a few boards with the same name/persona.
Google my name and you'll get me about 70% of the time...especially if u use my user title along with it.
I am a ROBOT in real life.:sweat:
thedanmachine
06-03-2008, 07:43 PM
yea, im pretty much thedanmachine everywhere.
DarthGonzo
06-03-2008, 08:19 PM
Ohhhh, by persona I think you meant your online personality. LOL, silly me.
No, I only use Darthgonzo on Toon Zone. At the GAC forums I'm Cueballcat and over at Club Tokyo (a Godzilla site) I'm Legion.
Darklordavaitor
06-03-2008, 08:24 PM
I've been mistaken too. I'm DarkLordavaitor only on here and tv.com, just Avaitor elsewhere,
The Irishman
06-03-2008, 08:34 PM
Here: The Irishman (obviously) because it's true and sounds upstanding.
PCLinuxOS Forum: IrishGuy (similarly, but more relaxed)
MSN: Mr. Magic Muttonchops (just an alias from Billy & Mandy used by Irwin in one of my favourite episodes)
So as you can see, I'm all over the place, I'll get my act together some say though.
Juu-kuchi
06-03-2008, 09:03 PM
I'm usually always Juu-kuchi.
XOMiss_Samantha
06-03-2008, 09:16 PM
People have always call me Sam no matter what the user name was [although it's usually XoMiss_Samantha anyways]. I just like being called by my name. It's comfortable. I don't think I have any other 'personas'. I'm just regular me.
Plus, other than TZ and the yaoi LJ site I've been an active member of for years, I don't need or have any other user ID that people would know me by.
Antiyonder
06-03-2008, 09:42 PM
I go by only Antiyonder, now, but use to go by the following names:
- Jokemon
- Axem Gold
- Spider-Hulk
- Silver Lantern
- Hal Jordan/Silver Lantern
As for personna, while I'm more open to online folks than in public, my paranoia is a lot higher than offline.
G. Wen
06-03-2008, 09:55 PM
I used to go by names with more gothic undertones, but I'm just G. Wen, or some version thereof now. It's closer to my real name. OT: Ever met people who are shy and well-mannered in real life, but are total nutcases on the web? Yeah, those people amuse me.:p
I use the name Hehey in prety much every forum i visit.
Silverstar
06-03-2008, 10:06 PM
I'm Silverstar on every board I've ever frequented except for The Big Cartoon Database, where I'm Starburst (formerly X-Man), a username I coined before I thought of Silverstar. On the BCDB there's a whole lot of brouhaha to change one's username (I already had to go through a ton o' channels just to change it from X-Man), so I just keep Starburst there. When I first joined TV.com, I was known as White Tiger, then Q for about 2 days, then I invented Silverstar, which I've been using ever since.
My persona is the same everywhere, though: a somewhat crazy intellectual who loves animation and tries to include a little humor with his wisdom. (Very little. :D)
Blackstar
06-03-2008, 10:08 PM
I'm Blackstar here, as I was when I was at TV.com and at TV Tome before that. There only places where I don't/didn't go by that name are TVRage, where I was simply J (although I haven't been to TVRage for some time nor do I have any intention of returning to) and on the Big Cartoon Forum, where my alias is Space Demon (it appears as SpaceDemon, but it's supposed to be 2 words, not one. I originally typed it as Space Demon, but it wouldn't accept it that way. I should have typed it as Space_Demon, but that thought didn't occur to me until after I submitted my registration and it was too late to change it).

Mine for the most part changes due to what forum I am on. For example, on this forum, since it's cartoons, my persona is Reiven, a conjuction of Rei from Neon Genesis and Raven from Teen Titans, but say on the Titans Go forum, my persona is Slade51463, which is the name I use for the majority of my accounts. Other than that, if forum I am a part of is central to say a show e.g Batman, my name will be something to do with Batman.
Most places I frequent I tend to go by the name "DarkMatter" or some variation of it if "DarkMatter" is already taken (my second choice is usually "OMGitsDarkMatter" if that's the case). In fact, I think Toon Zone is the only place where I go by "Eddy".
And, no, Eddy isn't my name (that would be Dan), I just go by Eddy because when I joined TZ way back when I was obsessed with Ed, Edd n Eddy. I've considered changing my username but I think I'm going to just stick with this one.
Daxdiv
06-04-2008, 03:04 AM
I only came up with Daxdiv over a year or so ago. Since then I use it in everything since my username is just my RL named scrambled up with an X put into it, just like the Nobodies in Kingdom Hearts. I use it for my YT account, other forums, and my GamerTag. I basically the same, cept I quiet with the headset on Xbox Live since I don't trust the people I am teamed up with in team matches.
Andrew T. Hingson
06-04-2008, 05:34 AM
I use to go by a few different names but with the exception of Ninja Tiptup for the TMNT message board The Technodrome I tend to go by Sketch, Sketchor or The Sketchor or some variation there-of.
And I don't change the way I post in any of those other forums. My online persona is merely an extention of myself. Or to put it simply, it's "the real" me though I may choose to withhold certain information about my life as some people would know from a few threads I made on this board in particular... I've let it all hang out here and this isn't the only board I've done so on.

I know that I used to consider my online persona my “Alter Ego”, but I’m not all that much different from real life. The only major differences is the stuff I talk about, ex: I’m a big Pokemon fan, but nobody at my school knows it (in fact, nobody I know knows about it).
Lavenderpaw
06-04-2008, 08:35 AM
Wasn't there a thread like this about a year ago?Maybe less?I just think I remember one.
The Nameless
06-04-2008, 03:16 PM
In most places, I go by "WizardDuck". I created this account on the same day (but before the YouTube one), but I chose to use this username. On Dailymotion, I was going to be "WizardDuck", but my Hotmail was acting up so I used another of my email accounts to re-register as "GarfieldFan2000" (the "Garfield" derived not from the comic strip, but "Garfield and Friends", and the "Fan2000" derived from the username you see here).
JTurner954
06-08-2008, 04:38 PM
I have one other name on the Funimation board, but I'm JTurner954 everywhere else I visit. I'm much more talkative online than IRL.
Light Ichigo
06-08-2008, 05:32 PM
I'm Light Ichigo here and at Wikipedia,
91 Boy most every place else, Net 91 at Uncyclopedia
and formerly drewboy and catboy at the old Nick Disk forum.

I've been Yûgi's Black Magician, Yuugi's Black Magician, etc. etc. pretty much all over the internet before I took on this current name. Additionally, I think I use to be Goku something rather years ago, like...a decade ago.

Well, I don`t use many forum sites anymore other than this I use Nggc.net and my username is Terror
