    I have been foruming off and on since 2007. I created my first forum on Forumotion in 2008, and I have a general discussion forum on advanced hosting now. No I'm no longer with forumotion. Anyway, I've seen some bizzarre usernames in my time. I remember there was one user who called himself "Online". Very weird name and it's these kind of things that can make you wonder how they come up with these things.

    What about you guys?

    Eαятн Bε Lσsт™ is probably the weirdest I've seen so far :p

    That's actually not too bad, really. While yes, that does sound like an odd ring to it, I have heard far worse username choices.

  4. ShadyX Who else?

    We had a user called osama bin laden at one point, his username offended quite a few people so he changed it. We have a Justin Bieber here, Boogie woogie smurf, someone called ; ) and we have had quite a few others that made me giggle :p

    Boogie woogie smurf? WTH???????? As guess it don't matter really, as long as the names aren't offensive in anyway really, I see nothing wrong with those. I do, however, see how naming yourself after a terriost attacker could offend most, if not all members. So it's always best to steer clear of names like that.

    Surprised nobody thought my name was weird, but the weirdest names I have seen are: ZX81, x13ucketHeaDx and bsdgd.
  7. Ashley Member

    The names you listed as examples are usually names that spam bots come out with. The ZX81 and then the other two you mentioned. No legitament user would dare to have such names.

    I also don't think your username is weird at all. Kind of a neat name actually. But like you I have heard/seen worse.

    Yeah I figured they were spam bots, but I just thought they were weird names for a spam bot to use. Seems like most spam bots use weird names. Thanks for the comment about my username!

    Yup. Spam bots are more likely to use usernames that would make fairly decent passwords more than anything. When I first started trying to run forums, I didn't know jack between spam bots and a real user, but as I got older I quickly learned to tell what was what and what to look out for in terms of who was the real deal and who was only joining a forum to spam the heck out of the place. Now days, I look at the newly registered member list, and I see a username that looks as though it would make a better password than username, of course I still check registeration details as you never know: Some people are probably hard up for usernames, especially if the good ones are already taken, but 9 times out of ten it's almost too easy to see whether it's a bot or a legit user. I've also been able to tell when registered email address is the same as their username. Like for instance, they have blahblahblah as their username, and then the email will be something like blahblahblah [at]yahoo.com or something like that. So it's really self explanatory on the whole, really.

    I have seen some weridos in my time. I can't remember all their names but some of the ones which stick out would be 'JustinBeebStinks' and a username which looked like this '๖ۣۜAnyny0' Had to copy the strange symbol which is why it is different color. ;3
  14. I have seen a member having name father of bush.
  15. Terry Member

    I saw on one forum guy named SperMOID lol.. :D Or like KYBORGSEX, HOMO, GAY, HOLEASS :D ( read from other side)

    The weirdest I came across was a person who was able to join without any username at all. You can imagine the difficulty one has in referring to a person who doesn't give out their real name and also doesn't have an username either. You just sit there wondering how do you refer to a man with no name and come up blank for ideas.

    we now have a new member called bumface :) lol :D

    I've seen quite a few strange cases. Members named after search engines like Google and Yahoo? Check. Someone with one of my own old usernames trying to impersonate me? Check. Users on a forum I'm not a member of called Hitler and Stalin? Check. I've even seen the ocassional person call themself God.

    Or members impersonating spambots. That's always annoying (especially when they post a typical spambot style topic title then say it's a joke in the actual post).
