• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

Great question, and my handle, like so much else in my life is a combination of events. I go by Verb, which you'd think was unique enough to use, but it seemed like it was always already in use, apparently by someone named Verbosky, so I reversed it (Brev) to see how I liked it. That then reminded me of the old military brevet ranks and, as a cyclist, long distance rides,so I chose Brevet, which was also too common, so I appended the 05 to use the same handle on most sites. Wordy, but true.
 
My husband recently retired from the Fire Dept. & what better dog to have but a Dalmatian. So our 2nd Dalmatian was named Aerial after the aerial ladder truck. Hence Aerial-Dal. This nickname is better than our 1st Dalmatian's name which was Haz-Mat as he left lots of Hazardous Materials in the back yard. :joke:
And if anyone is paying attention..Yes there is an extra L in the Dal part. That's because when I 1st joined here somehow I got locked out with that name so I had to add an extra L so I could log on again.
 
MY NAME

It was in the 60s, I started to read and watch racing on TV, like the indy 500. and started to follow the career of a Lotus F1 driver, named JIM CLARK. I always looked up to him, how he could drive so good and fast. then he died in April of 68, During a race in Germany, I just never forgot him. He became a HERO to me.
 
When I turned 50 some years ago, I decided to finally do what I had always wanted to do... to fly. Then, at 55, I decide to begin motorcycling. Since then, I have owned and flown two different types of ultralight aircraft, a VTX 1300, and now my Spyder. (I did have to sell off my ultralight two years ago when the field was sold for development... probably saved my life!)

Moderator altered my post.
I was not aware that a picture of a girl wearing a bikini would offend anybody...

I guess this forum is beyond PG.

Spelled incorrectly, (amœba is correct), micro organism. I needed an email address at work (laboratory) & that is what I came up with.

Your little Spyder has more tire than your big one does!
 
I used to work with a gentleman that was around 6 foot 5 and came in at 300 pounds. He was a MASH fan. My last name is Pierce so he started calling me Hawkeye after Hawkeye Pierce on MASH. When I went to get my first email address as a beta tester for Pacific Bell Internet the handle Hawkeye was taken so I changed it up to Hawkiii. I use hawkiii in lower case.

The guy that pegged me with Hawkeye turned out to be like my second father. He was quite a character and just a big ol teddy bear when it came right down to it.
 
Carrotstew

I was a nurse in the ER and we had a crazy guy tied down with 4 point leather restraints. He yelled at me "Why does everyone keep calling you Carrotstew?" I told him my name is Kerisue and he said well it sounds like Carrotstew....and so a nickname was immediately adopted by all my fellow nurses. I have to admit he was right, crazy, but right.:yes:
 
Innerestin' thread

Very many years ago I used to be a member of a wannabe patch club where my nickname was Pretzel.

I lost a leg in a crash (car T-boned me) and spent a year in a rehab centre learning to limp.

While I was there, some mates from the club came to visit. One, clearly shocked when he saw me, started stammering in his greeting and called me Pogo. :shocked:

I liked it so much I kept it.;)

Cheers;

Pogo.
