Many new members feel they must begin with a username that's directly linked to an aphex title, like Xepha, Quoth, or milkman, to be properly recognized on an IDM board such as xltronic.
After much research, i give you some suitable alternative methods for creating your title.
Ten Ways to Make An Acceptable IDM User Name
1. adj./n. combination. These may be vaguely relevant or completely insignificant conjunctions. makes a bold impression.
ex: DirtyPriest, Cheap Magnet, Kill Switch, BlatantEcho, CrippledGiraffe
2. n./n. combination a la the legendary squarepusher. ex: virginpusher, glasslicker, beatburglar, lizardfister, Dolleater,
3. complicated title usually contains one or more unlikey combinations of letter which may or may not be verbalized. adds mystery.
ex: nhiiq, zxcvdsbrbthsr, mutilakcx, czhrtjd, zzzmiffzzz
4. X-dominant X's are the tits! ex: x0hx, X_X, pxoxoxpxy, xxxxS1Nxxxx, MrX

5. insert numbers into your name. these numbers may be substitutes for similarly formed letters or sounds. tricky and multi-leveled approach.
ex: TonePu5her, ReZiN8R, j4ck, gl1tch, fr33_styler
6. Combine upper and lower cases this may add a quirky dimension to the name. ex: GrUnTaThOn, BeOTeUeMe, sYNsITH, ZarathustrA, DeLtoiD
7. Remove the spaces simply remove the blank character between words of a phrase or sentence. strange, but meaningful.
ex: Soundfillsspace, babydieonchord, handoverthecart, mylittlesister, dreamerofthedre
8. some rendition of a famous person or character. ironicly flamboyant.
see: Anus_Presley, Jaysuz Jones, Bill_Hicks; Thelonius Punk, billcosbydance
9. arbitrary thing. curious. ex: Dinosaur, gin, Rabies, Tab, armchair
10. spell a common word differently. endless possibilities for a clever name. ex: Narkotic, hapie, PhystPhukt, qrter, phunquie

Looks like some suicidegirls ho.

I much prefer Morton's Vanessa Mae avatar (although she doesn't look that good in most pictures)

Thank you. This was a very informatively helpful post to me. Have you thought about writing material aimed specifically at the troll minority like myself? There's less of us, so you'd THINK you'd have less book sales, but think about it. We're rich. We live under bridges and steal the treasures of bridge-crossers all day! You can triple the price of your books and we'd still have enough money to pay for it. The demand for information on trollism is very high so we'll pay almost anything.

Names are quite attention grabbing. Combined with a good avatar, then it makes a new person stand out a bit.
I like the fact my name didn't crop up in this post tho. I like to be uncatagorical in real life too :)

whoever has to introduce himself after more than 150 posts appears to have chosen not such a remarkable name, since it wouldn't be nessecary otherwise...
woosh..that didn't sound very nice, quick morton quick type some smileys!!!

btw peter you're right about that appearance of miss mae on most pics, but still she's on my desktop...and still i've got a crush on her :)

If you don't like your current name, flea, just make a new messageboard account! It's easy and is totally permitted by phobiazero and his moderator army.
Oh, I was banned (probably) because I had 2 accounts peter (but don't tell flea, heh heh).
I don't know the REEEEAAAAAAAAL reason FOR SURE though.... it is a mystery. It truly is. But as I told binaural tea, my theory that is the most supported with evidence is that the moderators had penis envy.
