Name taken 2008-08-22 23:57:43


When you first came across Newgrounds, and you picked your very first username, did you get it on the first try? Or did you have to suffer and choose a different, less cooler one. Lucky me, i got mine no problem. but i've seen countless stories of NGrs who wanted a name that was previously taken.

So, i ask you, what was your first choice for a username? And if you could change it, would you?


Do what now...?

I gots mine first try. Seems Death Note fans are few and far between on Ng (well duh, it's anime).

I got mine first try. Manic-Man....but on other sites, it seems to be kinda popular.

Response to Name taken 2008-08-23 00:02:36


Nope mine wasnt taken, but incase it ever is taken then i have 2 other back up names and 1 is usually never taken...........EVER...... No joke... its not even hard to read or confusing or anything... xD

The account has been inactive since 99' dude, go ask Tom if you could have it. My username wasn't always Ryan. Had this one for only a year or two now.

Response to Name taken 2008-08-23 00:05:08


I wanted to be "HolyShit" but it was taken so I named myself "Sum1" and then I thought about "SacredShit" and kept it because they mean the same thing.

Response to Name taken 2008-08-23 00:05:21


My original account was Why993, which was hacked. (Yes, I'm an idiot. I know.)

I just though of this one after remembering someone talk about how you can't use spaces in your username.

I was really surprised it wasn't taken.


Derp.

No, I didn't, so I got a bad one back in January. I didn't like it, so I made this one today.

Yes, I wanted to be Seeker. And it's inactive too. I didn't put much thought into it so I just took a noob name. That's what I get for signing up in 07.

Some asshat grabbed "clownhunter" and hasn't used it in years. >:(

Response to Name taken 2008-08-23 00:09:17


Mine is never taken. It's an original person, so it's therefore untaken.

I can't remember my original username, all I know is that I got it on the first try. My original name was so terrible that I decided to change it to -DeadlyShadow-, but due to the new rules about the dashes on the beggining and end of usernames, I'm now Deadly-Shadow.

When it was time for an alt, I wanted Sanjay, but it was already taken. With the help of Tom, Sanjay is now mine.

What, did Tom make him swap out names or something?

I'm a huge Dragonlance fan, so I tried every name Tanis has every been called, before hitting my head against the keyboard and making something legible out of it.

It's doubtful anyone else would have had this. I got in on the first try.


Face your Manga! Share it for best results. This was great until recently. The rest of this signature is false.

Yeah, I've had a bunch of different username, but the ones I stuck with for the longest time were king-o-games1, -king-o-games-, Kazuo_Kiriyama, and now this.

I think the first thing I tried was king-o-games, but that was taken... I can't really remember. I'm guessing that's what I first tried as I was into Yu-Gi-Oh at the time, and couldn't think of anything non-Yugioh related. I remember my first sig was this crappy, small animated .gif of Kaiba.

I think the only username I nabbed from when Tom let us send him a PM to have claim a username was Hentai. Don't even know why I did it.
