Man, Mine was Prowler587@aol.com (I changed the numbers for leave me alone purposes) and I made it in the 90's when I was like 13. A lot of my screen names at websites continued to be that for several years and one of those sites I still get on and use.

Only years later as the internet evolve did I ever think to self reflect at how creepy a screen name that was while going around and hanging out in chat rooms. I picked the name because the Plymouth Prowler had just come out and I had it on one of my school folders and I thought the car looked really awesome.

TLDNR: Plymouth made me look like a creep.

Ten year old me got a beautiful white backpack and made the username whitebag567@gmail.com (numbers also changed), not realizing until over a decade later, that I seemed like a drug dealer.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
