Your Forum Name..How did you come up with it!!!
« on: July 08, 2010, 08:32:00 PM »

It was interesting posting out the Cape York Dvds.

Trying to relate members real names to their forum name had me thinking how they came up with it.

I know some members use their first name and my forum name is my surname let us know how yours come about.

I was going to use tripod but my wife said in my dreams. Go figure. :'(

I originally came up with my username many years ago when I signed up on my first forum(which happened to be a torana forum for the record). The shane bit is my first name and the gtr refers to my LJ gtr torana - which still own by the way. And I'm lazy I just use it for all my Internet usernames

Mate a brown envelope with copious quantities of the folding stuff sent to each of the moderators will get you absolutely no where ;D ;D

If you ask Brett you might receive, or the Big fella might be able to help

Yep, PM one of the admins, Brett or BigJules and they can do it for you. :cheers:

BTW, I got nicknamed Snow when I joined in the Navy because I had white blonde hair.
