Why are you called that?

My surname is Box so when I set up my first email account (same one I have now) in 1992 I had to come up with a name. It was the first thing that came to mind so most of my online stuff is under the same name or moneybox@whatever....

Mine is self explanatory ! ]

mine too

My super power is that I can impersonate Chewbacca. I did this in order to frighten the bag out of a mate who was having a kip while we were at work at a timber mill I used to work at. With hilarious effect I might add. There were a few witnesses and so Chewy stuck. :lol:

Has it got something to do with a woman of the church and an egg that sat on a wall?

Too complicated too explain

My name if is steve and back in the 1980s l managed a surf shop.
This young bogan type fella would come in quite a lot and make some big statement and then look at me and say " aint that roight stoyve"!!!
So its always been my online eamai and forum name. :Y:

Were i come from its very flat tippaburra region and fellow members of my local OMG nick name this because they couldn't believe how flat it was and how straight the roads where i lived

In my first incarnation to this forum I had the gold fever , so when trying to sign up I tried so many names with Gold at the start and after about 30 different goes finally found "Goldtarget". Haha if you can think of a name with gold in it I can almost guarantee that someone else has it. I didn't particular love the name but I had no idea how long I'd be here or what the site was like so I did think of it as a temporary name, but it kind of grew on me.

DWT another member here shortened that to GT when we chatted both here and outside the forum, so I kind of adopted the GT version, although there is Goldtruck here who also identifies as GT at the end of his posts.

So after a banning and a long absence I couldn't get into my old account, and had to come up with a new name, but I wanted something the members would remember me as Goldtarget, but OldGoldtarget is a bit confusing so I just dropped it down to OldGT. Ironically I'm neither old nor in the GT anymore.

Well i thought you were from the gt and either from a forgotten area or a nomad .

No its for his silver tongue

Ive been wearing the Mediocritist tag for a few years, since I realised that my inability to persist with anything to the point of perfection isnt a character flaw but an interesting utility-maximising personality trait. My track record is a series of hobbies, pursued obsessively for 3 to 6 months until something else grabs my attention. Draw people, build a Jeep, play guitar, write a novel, build ukuleles, code computers, make electronic music, pan for gold...

What I enjoy is the process of learning something new.

My online nickname comes from the fact that I've always been skinny and a bit nuts !
It is interesting that some people use nicknames that others have given them , and some create their own ....

I can totally relate to that! I have a similar concentration span, it's a good name.

And OldGT I think I'll just be FPOT now.

Have used this avatar on many forums.

My name is Sam and I love Mazda Rotaries.

Don't own any at the moment, but have owned numerous RX-7s and an RX-2

Not telling you, you're all just going to have guess ]

Yeh mine's just as easy. I like going bush looking for gemstones, petrified wood, gold etc. ie rock hunting plus my year of origin.

Cheers

Doug
