It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.

[–] poplargrove@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.
