Holy crap. Met a friend of a friend today and almost introduced myself as Zaladane. I hit the Za.. part until I caught myself![]()
That's my standard introduction, anyone that looks at me funny gets a flintlock pistol to their face.
I don't think I've ever introduced myself by one of my internet handles by accident. I'd probably refer to anyone from EP by their username if I ever met any of you louts in person.
You quickly move on to real names, at least, that's been my experience. Using internet handles is weird. Jazz you are on the wrong side of Michigan.![]()
I find it varies from person to person with me for whatever reason. At least when talking online off the forum, I always use forum names on the forum. I don't have enough actual meet-ups with forum people to draw a full conclusion, but when I have, we quickly went to real names. We also quickly got drunk but that's another story.![]()
