Saw this on a couple of other forums and it got some quite intersting answers, where did your username and avatar originate from?

Mine was a joke email address i made when i was younger and just stuck for logging into things, and my avatar is pretty self explanatory!

Interesting to see what others reasons are

My user name is just the name on my birth certificate. Boring I know. My avatar is of my two pet cats, Martha and Gash.

My username was dreamt up during headier days. The avatar is the famous old ground from a thousand feet above.

When I first went onto a board a good few years back I just signed in with my initials, IAC, but when I saw the names other people were using mine looked pretty dull and boring in comparison so I re-registered and stuck Bull in front of the initials......ah much better!

The avatar is just a photo (my own) taken in Chapel St, Little Germany.

Bull dog comes from Wetherby Bulldogs who I used to play for, I forgot my password and was tied to an old email address I no longer had access to, so I put ex in front of it

my user name is a grease we used to use at work but spelt differently to throw people off....and it does



My avatar is because I dislike anything Rhino's.

its funny because I sometimes see them and think something different, i thought yours was a shortened version of bulls maniac such as i assume your support for the club is ha ha

The letters vbfg form a square on the keyboard, and my avatar is a square. I chose both because I bloody love squares I do.

That's a parallelogram, knob'ead.

I can remember back to those days (cue strains of "[iLargo[/i" from "[iNew World[/i" aka "Hovis"...)...remember you signing into Leaguechat as IAC IIRC? Eee lad, happen there's nowt but a few of us left from t'old days?

I've been Adeybull since I first registered on the old Bulls MB - 1999 I think it was? Doubt any explanation needed?

My avatar? Ditto?

ps. Shocking though it may be, some of the earlier posters are fibbing...

My username is pretty much my nickname everyone calls me. Just 'ie' added to my surname. I used to be whinogaz years ago to annoy my mate who was rhinogaz, but bit old for that kind thing now.

My avatar is simply from my favourite comedy of the past decade.

Paul124897 was my first ever online username and was generated by a random system when we first got internet with AOL back in 95 or 96. None of the names I wanted were available.

My avatar is because I'm a diabetic and support the charity.

My username is, part of my name...and my Avatar reminds me of my ex-wife enjoying herself with my ex-best Friend. I'm so thankful to them, it opened a whole new World to me...

I thought of a quick, silly, Cas related temporary name while I thought up something witty & intelligent sounding. 12 years later I've not thought of anything better.
My avatar is our little dog, Lucy, now crippled with arthritis, in Bluebell Woods, Ilkley.

My user name is either my crime fighting alter ego where I dispence justice and right wrongs accross the length and breath of the nations Duck ponds in a giant Duck costume....... or it was the program I was watching on TV at the time I created my account...you decide.



My avatar is a camera eye of HAL 9000, from one of my favourite books/films 2001 a space odyssey, just 'cause I like the image and it fits well in the size available.

oh, and jpmac452 wins best avatar award easily.

I'm a massive Jim Bowen fan.

The avatar of Nobby in his days in the fuzz is good stuff for a moderator!

My username is a hark back to when our nick name was the steam pigs, steambulls didn't sound right so i added ing on the end and it sound a bit better! plus it probably sums up how i post as well, adding s**t on the end!

Avatar cos in my little world i thought it looked cool and it reminded me of Brian McDermott!

I always thought you were five-O !

In younger days I was named Flea after yer man from Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Then I got banned and came back as an anagram. Keep trying to think of a more relevant name as this name is of no relevance to me whatsoever.

Avatar is Bernard Dwyer from t'golden era.

I couldn't spell Ultravox at the time of registering.

used to go by username gruntfuttock on other boards, but name taken on here so choose this onecos its where i live.

avatar is silsden towncrest.... dont get me started on my twitter avatar

Are you Jack Reed?

The first board I went on was the old Bull's 'official' board back in the last century (back end of 1999, Septemberish??) when the system was 'slightly' different. I seem to remember it was more like an email exchange (?) than a message board, possibly steam operated, and a good bit different from today's state of the art facilities.....still, 'twas fun!

Aye I remember that with some lass going on about Robbie's bum. She called her self "the obsessed one" IIRC.

My avatar is a great missed marketing opportunity for the club. My username is just the initials of my other board alias, reversed.
