sidsanders Member Posts: 217 ■■■□□□□□□□Mine I started using in the late 80's early 90's when I was a kid dialing into a few local BBSs. I thought it was funny because it said stuff like "Everyone has entered the room." and "Everyone says " when I went into the chat rooms. People were actually quite confused by it at the time. I've continued to use it off and on for various things over the years.
well done!GO TEAM VENTURE!!!! -

sambuca69 Member Posts: 262I've always used the 'sambuca' handle (and variations of) since high school days. It's something my father likes to put in his coffee to this day, and it just kinda always stuck for me.
The 69 comes from, well.. 69 is the best number out there, and has nothing to do with my year of birth -

We used to be able to do it ourselves before Johan migrated this website to vBulletin. Now you need to pm and send him a gift to get this done. -

videguy Member Posts: 29 ■□□□□□□□□□In a previous life many years ago I was a video dealer. When I signed up for AOL in the early 90's I could not get videoguy just videguy. I've been using it in forums ever since. It is always available and if I find it taken it has always meant I already have an account on the board.Bachelors of Science in Information Technology - Database Administration Concentration
