    I was so bad at Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega that my friends called me chronic which led to mr Kr0nik in my later years as I'm bad at all video games...

    A guy on here had a problem with my companies website and I created the account to PM him and let him know we were fixing it and not to call the guards.

    It was all cloak and dagger stuff as my boss didn't know I was helping the "customer" out directly....hence Smokingman from x-files fame.

    I used a random number generator, took the numbers (83779) and applied them to letters on a phone.

    I like the word igloo, and the "square" part was because I wanted the letter "q" in my username.
    The thought process took all of 7 seconds.

    You'd have to subscribe. You could subscribe for a month, request the name change and it would only cost you a fiver.,

    haha

    I know that on other forums that if you get in touch with the administrators then you can get them to fix the mistake. I'm no sure what the story is here though.

    I got mine from the first 2 letters of my first, second and middle names.

    I have no idea. I think it may have been a parody of Darth Vader...but then I'm not really a star wars fan. I might change it if I ever become a subscriber.

    I've been told that for some reason it sticks in people's heads, sticks in people's heads, sticks in people's heads.
