So in this thread, tell us why you chose your name on this site. Is it your real name? Or last name? Or did it just sound cool?
For me, I chose “YoYo143” because I was really excited to get on this site, so I just put yoyo, and 143 sounded cool together ;). I wanted to change it, but didn’t know how. I do now but I dont really want to because you guys would be like “who’s that guy? Why does he have such a high post count he’s still new!” haha.

Been my business name since 1990 or so.
It’s pretty much my online identity.

I know more about it now, but I used to think you made music or something, so I was looking for a radio station. I saw “studio 54 radio” I thought it was your station for the longest time… Them I remembered its 42…

I do make music. I’ve helped release a handful of full length albumbs and worked on a ton of others, too many to count.
Right now the focus is live sound/concert production.

My name is Nate. As far back as I can remember, or at least since Warren G and Nate Dogg came out with “Regulate” in the summer of '94, people named Nate have been nicknamed Nate Dogg. When I got my first car I wanted my license place to say “NatesRide” but you could only fit 7 digits on a license plate in Colorado so I changed the spelling of “Nate” to “N8” so N8SRIDE could fit on my license plate.
Anyway, that’s the origin story for N8dogg. A skinny white nerd from the mountains of Colorado who has absolutely never “regulated” in his life. :wink:

The day I made the handle, I had a particularly taxing soccer game that I had refereed. My youngest son heard me sit down at the computer with groans of pain.
“You sound like an old geezer” he said, just as I went to create my profile.
Yoyo + old geezer that I am quickly becoming.Perhaps I should have gone with: yoyocurmudgeon.

Its the name I use everywhere because it is a name I made up the spelling to for one of my snakes.
Since I made it up the name is available most all places.
