Choosing a Name

[Dubs]

Here is some info on choosing a PSB user name - IMHO.

When you join PSB you obviously need a "net name"

A lot of people will choose their bike name or something similar.

Choose wisely.

There are now a lot of ppl on the forum.

We tend to meet and click (or not) on the web first.

Therefore your "net name" will be the one that people remember most.

It gets hard when you go to a meet and someone says ie

"Hi i'm 95ZX9R, but my name is Dave"

All well and good.

But when you meet 10, 20 or 30 new people on some days its hard to now remember the persons 2 names - 95ZX9R / Dave.

So when choosing your PSB name, make it something that is memorable and easy to say, both on and off the web.

My name aint Dubs, but it suits me and i prefer to be called it both on and off the web (oh and CAD's momma).

Rooster's name aint rooster but he dont mind it, same goes for Klink, et al.

Thanx

[Japaroo]

Good call Dubs

[Pkunk]

Try to avoid calling me pkunk while on rides...

...unless you used to play quake2 with me

[Klink]

My parents really did name me Klink

[mystery]

Well most people know me as mystery, so if that's easier for people to remember, great!

Perhaps avoid naming yourself after your bike at all:

"G'day, My name's Charlie, ZZR25097 on the forum, I ride a '03 VTR1000 but everyone calls me Wally..."

[Rooster]

Just dont call me chicken.

[Shadow]

Good suggestion Dubs
The using your bike as part of your name makes it obsolete when you change your bike and hard to remember whos who with similar names too. being anonomous is good too

Ive found I get a mixed deal..some call me Shadow, Shadz, some Ky, or KyKy or Kylie..and varies dependant on alcohol content too

Ill answer to all of the above happily

[Bulbous]

everyone knows me as Bulbous, even down the bike shops.... no worries to me, i can't remember half the people's real names anyways!

You can change it. Hailwood is cool tho.
If you want to change your handle then you will need to PM Deej and ask very nicely.

[Hailwood]

Cool, cheers. Might have to change it to avoid confusion ...

..however I'm scared of Deej so prob won't bother

[rz350]

Hrmmm guess my nick isnt the easiest to remember
Quite a few people know me now anyway though. At least the chances of another RZ350 joining the forums are extremely slim! Feel free to call me RZ, Kris or Moses.

[Japaroo]

^^^^Moses...what the?
Oh yeah and i'm not japanese

[rz350]

My last name mate
Think I get called that more then Kris these days.
