If my name isn't original than no-one's name is original.
Every time I see your username. Every single time.

I'm definetly not an "Old" member, but my username was my first choice. However, if I told you what the 4's mean, I would have to kill you.
What do they mean, De?

If I told you, I'd have to kick in your jaro. And if anything, call me DE4TH, as in Death Incarnate, the base meaning of my username. The 4's however, remain a secret.


Born on 4/4 at 4am/pm?

If a Grunt has a sticky stuck to his head, and no one is around to see or hear it, does it still run in circles screaming,"Get it off, Get it off !"?

Yes....wait...I know you...


Huh?

  • 09.17.2012 9:19 PM PDT

Because Epic Kittens are awesome, and my original Bnet acc, "Cramakazr" made no sense. :P

This represents me.

Wouldn't call myself old, and I'm barely still a member, but FatherBucky has been my online alias since 8th grade. I believe that's when I created this account as the forerunner to all of my aliases to come. It just works and I haven't met any other Bucky's let alone FatherBucky's.

ooga booga boooh

I was drunk and didn't pay attention to grammar, or anything when I made this account. Guess that was a pretense for everything after.

  • 09.17.2012 10:50 PM PDT

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

My username is bad, and I should feel bad.

Account deletion on inactivity is gone for good.

What a waste....

It was late one night, and I had just opened the case for Halo CE for the PC. As I was about to enter my username, a knock came on the door. Twice.

And thus the name was born. I have used it ever since.

If I'm reading that right... does that mean the the WLID account can expire, but the Bungie account will always remain?

Yes your e-mail can either expire or get deleted.....I deleted one of my WLID so that B.net Alt is gone forever, it still exists but nobody can sign in to it. I also had another E-mail expire and it got deleted and my other Alt is gone forever. I actually made two account with the same e-mail. In a way it was a new email because it got deleted so I could take the name again.

For you people wondering why I have so many alts is because every time I get a new xbl account I'd put the septagon by my name and in order to do that one has to make an account here on Bungie.net.

Huh, I guess Bungie's webteam has a purpose for that reasoning. It seems to me like the best thing would be to make accounts expire when the WLID expires. Then again, I don't know their inner workings.

  • 09.18.2012 12:47 AM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

Since Bungie is developing for the PS3 now the whole account creation for bungie.net may get overhauled and wont reply of WLID anymore.

Oh, of course.

That's convenient. I don't really like the whole WLID system, and I've had numerous problems with it in the past. More power to Bungie.

~:O>~~

This is the name I use for everything... so there you go... now I feel bad because this is my real name in real life and now your saying I'm unoriginal!? ):

Caus' them old members are all a bunch of uncreative hacks.

Especially pre-2006 members. Screw those guys.

  • 09.18.2012 1:55 AM PDT

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

My name is highly original.

And at the end of the day, I don't like numbers in my name, so you could expect any online handles I use to be original to some degree.

A lot of older members were younger when they made their accounts, like me. I was 13 when I created my BNet account. I would have ended up putting numbers in it, but I decided to go for my coined name of Dropship dude.

Wishing I hadn't included the dude.

Dropship Dude sounds better than Dropship IMO.

While my username is original, I still don't like it. Most of us who you call older members have such unoriginal usernames because we were quite young when we signed up for Bnet (I was 13).
