i think a more interesting question than “when did you ‘join’ the internet” is “what was the first username you ever used”
my very first ever username (that i remember) was HunterKiller75 cause i thought starcraft was the coolest shit in elementary school & hydralisks were my fav unit, and 75 was my fav number
this post really blew up and i’m enjoying reading the stories behind everyone else’s lameass usernames in the tags (esp the other dude with a hunter killer bnet id)
thanks to everyone for interacting with my post, and god bless
I was 13 in 1999 and my first usernane was shared with my brothers since we had a shared pc
Rymatch
It stood for Ryan, Matt, and Chris
I then got ryancool1, segasonicdude, segashinobidude.
And now I have “My Little Ninja” & “Pyrotechnic tote Pyro”
