Years ago i was told about ICQ, and peeps said you have to join it.
so i looged on and it asked me for a user name, and i couldn't think of one at the time, then i looked down to the floor and i had a game out " Command and Conquer " " Aftermath " so i thought that will do, ive kept it ever since, must be about 13, or 14 years now, i have kept this username.


I should have it trademarked by now. LOL

I was into Texas hold'em poker at the time and I thought that Devilfish would be an unusual username.

Before anyone says it....NO I am not seedless....:rofl:

I used to use the username jaffacake and most people just posted jaffa so I shortened it to jaffa. Why did I have jaffacake as a username, well I educating a m8 in work on how to use tinternet and he wanted to check out some holiday forums and had to register, he put in his real name and I told him he shouldnt do that, just to make something up, he wasnt sure if I was kidding him or not so I said ...look you can put anything you want in..there was a box of jaffacakes sitting beside us so I used that and thats the story, boring I know but you ask...lol

@devilfish...I used to watch poker and there was someone called devilfish....I think.

You are not the only one to say that witchy. Other friends I have on forums also thought it was because I meant I have an orange centre but I swear its true as I said.

My username....

I'm a big Blackadder fan and there is an episode of Blackadder called "The Witchsmeller Pursuivant" - the one where the King gets a 'touch' of the Black Death and Blackadder ends up being accused of Witchcraft.

Way back in the dark ages, before the Internet was the Internet there was a network system known as FidoNet, which was basically a text based bulletin board system (BBS) accessed via DOS. I had accounts on a few different BBS's and USENET under the name 'Witchsmeller Pursuivant', I then got too lazy to type the full name so I shortened it to 'Witchsmeller', then in 2001 (2k1) I shortened it again to Witchy2k1 :)

Shorty comes from my old basketball team, i used to be the allest there at 6'5 so its a ironic and somehow stuck. Sadly doesnt really mean anything now as i play at the big boy level were there are 7footers.

And the second bit is just from basketball, so = shortyball

doobiest
11th May, 2008, 10:45 PM
mine originates from doobie (the doobie brothers).

when i first got into irc many moons ago (being a bit young and listening to all sorts after a little smokey) i was listening to the doobie brothers at the time i first signed in and hadn't thought of a username before that.

not sure when or why i added the "st" to make it doobiest.

i have another username but doobiest is the most used especially in the forums.
