    Hrmph, my current username was something I came up with when I was about... 4? At some point, I liked football... It was my username for like, some kids game (Webkinz I think). I never really bothered changing it after 11 years because I never could come up with anything better. Recently, I have though and I am changing my username as soon as that feature is available.

    Ok, my turn. So..... I've told many of you this before. My username is literally a bad play on words. like a miner = like a boss. I was like, 8 when I came up with it. The 49 is for the san francisco 49er's. Also back when I cared at all about football.
    Like Feven, I've come up with a better user that I'm changing to when 1.8 comes out. (Also going to be changing my skin for it)

    Uhm, my is kinda random. I'd probably change it in 1.8 just to like, Zodie or something. I don't like the pop bit at all. I was 8/9 at the time so yea :c

    Mac = Apple Computers (Macbook Pro, I was going to do Macbook Tutorials on my YouTube Channel)
    Me = Myself?
    Benny = My cat's name is Benny (she is a black cat and is the nicest/cutest cat I've ever had or seen ;) )

    My Mom came up with the name with me :)
    My original username for YouTube was hcaz21, in fact the channel is still up and you can watch my old Club Penguin videos (http://youtube.com/hcaz21) - I had a lot of views/subscribers too :O

    So. Back then I was really into Pokemon and wanted to think of a cool Pokemon name. I really liked Ivysaur of I'm like " Hey MrIvysaur is pretty catchy." So then i made the account MrIvysaur but I deeper around a lot and screwed up my account. Then I made my account MrIvysaur64. I did the same thing. Then I just made this shitty account mrivysaur064. I'm not really a fan of Pokemon anymore but I can appreciate it. I want to change my name but I'm so used to being called MrIvy or Ivy that I will probably make an account called IvyPlayz or something.

    I remember the good old Club Penguin days. The beta party, the Halloween party. Disney had to ruin it

    i believe Mac's original username was "MacMeBenny" but he forgot the password so we got "MacMeBennyZ" and adding the "z" maybe because of his real life name?

    Could be it.

    100% Correct

    That's why I use MacMeBenny for everything else.

    Thanks for clarifying that.

    (Old account "Craftman_21") Why it came to that - this happens when you use the bathroom and a have a sister that edits your username before buying your account.
    (Current Account "HesphaestusHD") Why it came to be - I have always liked the god Hephaestus and added an "s" to make sure nobody has it completely. The HD part is because I do plan on recording soon and or for "Hespy-dong" as called sometimes by Remmi83 and JeremyClarkson10
     
  20. PhoenixStudios

    PhoenixStudios Community Manager Penguin

    The first time I had ever interacted with an online community was on an app called AirCoaster, which is a roller coaster design app.

    On that my name was Zonda Studios:
    Zonda = My favourite type of car at the time
    Studios = As if I was a coaster production company (so I added Studios :p )

    I gained a few thousand downloads and a few followers. It decreased in popularity meaning I was one of the earliest people to get the app (Late 2010 - Now, late 2014).

    I eventually changed it to Zonda because the Studios was olddddd.

    During that time I started reading Harry Potter and I thought Fawkes the Phoenix was the coolest animal in it, and the film reinforced this ;)
    So when I came to create a minecraft account I switched out 'Zonda' to 'Phoenix,' equalling 'PhoenixStudios!'

    Incidentally my favourite and most successful hero on Dota 2 is Phoenix, so it worked out well ;)

    I've been using PhoenixStudios on sites ever since.
