2. You guys have some wicked cool names. How about an origin. Where does that name come from?
3. Why are so many of our names in small font?

In answer to 3, I tried BigDuke when I signed up, but the board defaulted me to lower case.
In answer to 2, it was a nickname someone gave me as their email shortcut due to my title in another club.

Well, Shiryu means many things: 1) is a modification of Sirio, the lonely star next to the Orion constellation 2) is chinese for Dragon (or very close to it) 3) is the name of my favorite character in my favorite comic/anime ever, Dragon Shiryu from Knights of the Zodiac. Hence my nick ;D

My screen name's just my initials and birth year. Now, I´d say that was a good year! ;D

Uberwolf is the name of my main on City of Villains. I tried my main hero's name from City of Heroes but American Avenger wouldn't work, tried American_Avenger too. Not sure about the caps. I get too lazy to use the shift key sometimes.

Shiryu-- one of my friends made a favorite Marvel RPG character named "Ryushi" for some of the same reasons you picked your name. Kept that character for many games.

I guess the origin for my name is pretty obvious. Spider-man and the Wasp are two of my favorite characters and I thought their arachnid/insect names went well together. I'm also a big fan of Quicksilver and Strong Guy but Quickguy just sounded like a lousy lover. As for why I went with all lowercase, that's a good question. I'm actually a teacher and it irritates me when my kids don't capitalize proper nouns. Boy, I sure do irritate myself sometimes.

Have you noticed at the bottom of the main screen where it shows who is logged in -- on Nov. 6th there were 34 users on at one time!!! This has to be some kind of glitch. There is no way there were that many people on these boards. We shown that only around 20 of us are active, and I've never been online here when there have been more than about 10... So what do you think was going on that night?

Hadn't noticed it... forums are usually reliable on this kind of stats so there probably were 34 people online, surprising as it sounds. I guess a group of them were hidden / invisible, and probably there were a few guests too, but it's still a very high number. I wonder what happened that specific day... any long waited issue came out ?

Yeah, that number can't be correct...especially since the time shown for all that activity on Nov. 6th is 10:47am (Eastern Time?). I don't know about the rest of you, but I work for a living and I would never dream of logging on during normal working hours (9am-5pm).

I think a wild stab might give you an idea why I chose my name...

I think it's funny that steed started this thread and he hasn't been around for weeks! Maybe I'll send out a "missing persons" report on him!!
