Hauk: /* Examples of "teh raeg" */

Occassionaly, Redbrick users experience rage, or 'raeg' as it's known in leetspeak. This occurs when a user has so much built-up [[emo]] anger that even the slightest things cause them to break down into a steaming furnace of fury.

Such outbursts are often spotted on [[IRC]], but have been known to occur on the boards. A common cause of rage is shit trolling by another user and/or deep-rooted psychological problems. Nobody can be sure really; but then again, nobody cares.

19:19 < LITHIUM> i never did chemistry :(
19:19 < moju> Helium is the chemical element with atomic number 2, and is represented by the symbol He. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert monatomic gas that heads the noble gas group in the periodic table.

01:46 < nemo> you don't try and help anyone new to the society
01:46 < nemo> you just take the piss

01:47 < nemo> i'm in no position to judge

Grand

2010-05-17T15:40:41Z

Hauk: /* General grand things */

The word 'grand' is a colloquialism that is unique to Ireland (particularly the north-east) compared to the rest of Europe (and, indeed, the world). Traditionally, the word 'grand' is an adjective used to describe things that are large or somewhat "pompous". In Ireland, however, it is often used in place of the word "good" and its synonyms.

Person A: "Howiya Mick, you keeping well?"
Person B: "Ah yeah I'm doing grand so I am."

As 'grand' is a common word in spoken language, it has inevitably fallen into use in written language, too, and can often be found in non-formal emails, letters, and, of course, [[IRC]].

== IRC is grand ==

'Grand' as an adjective has been used on Redbrick IRC for many years, but its use has increased recently due to the increase of students from outside Dublin attending DCU, and growth of activity on IRC by people who join and use Redbrick.

== Levels of grand ==

There are various ways to use the word 'grand' in written form, each way resembling how it should be spoken, and corresponding to the level of "goodness" it refers to. These are:

*grand
*Grand
*Grand!
*GRAND!

== Things that are 'grand' ==

Used mainly in a sentence as an adjective.

This is a grand cup of tea.

I had a grand walk outside in the sun this afternoon.

== Things that are 'Grand' ==

Often used as a standalone word, outside of a sentence, denoting importance or a sense of completion.

Right, finally got the walls painted. Grand.

I've just been offered a lift to the shopping centre. Grand.

== Things that are 'Grand!' ==

'Grand!' (note the use of an exclamation mark) is used as an expression of pleasant surprise, in cases where the person using it is the beneficiary of something good that has happened, or is happening.

I just won a tenner on a scratchcard! Grand!

My mate just came over with a pizza and some beers! This is grand!

== Things that are GRAND! ==

This use is one that can take in all of the above uses combined; covering importance, completion, benefit, and so forth.

Just handed in my FYP there, and I'm finally finished college! GRAND!

I was worried I had AIDS but the doc told me it's only HIV. GRAND!

== General grand things ==

*Coffee
*Pints
*Chillies
*Brian Skilton
*Nice trips away
*Naps
*A relaxing sit-down
*The Irish Times and a pint. Generally deemed "Grand."
*Tea
*Getting tasks finished
*Meeting up with a good friend
*Raised Beds

Great Quiz Rig of 2010

2010-04-01T13:47:24Z

Hauk:

So here we have one of the greatest scams ever to be encountered in the history of RedBrick.

On the evening of the 30th March 2010, RedBrick had a grand wee quiz. Problem is: it was a farce.

In the raffle, receive won the Dell netbook. Fair fucks you might think. But I ask you this: why did he buy 24 tickets as opposed to 25? 24 tickets cost €28, yet 25 tickets cost €25. Surely one would go for the more economic option? Also, receive had 6 people on his team. The maximum per team was officially 4 people. We know this coz we asked the committee before it started in attempt to make some unnecessary lulz: "What actually constitutes a team?"

So yeah. Rabble etc. I call shenanigans.

Trying to rub out the truth eh?

Hauk:

The term TFAS was coined around 2007 by the member Merchelo(gg etc), and has since gained popularity among the regulars.

A TFAS is usually declared in #lobby or other SRS BSNS channels when a user expresses their need and intention to excrete human faeces.

TFAS, in it's original form, stands for:

'''T'''ime '''F'''or '''A''' '''S'''hit.

== Other Variants ==

TFAP: '''T'''ime '''F'''or '''A''' '''P'''iss: Fairly easy to understand, a user expresses his/her intention to urinate, and goes and does so.

TFAF: Watch out for this one. It stands for Time for a FAP. (FAP FAP FAP FAP etc.)

== TFAS Etiquette ==

It is generally accepted that when members return from a TFAS, that the TFAS is measured on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Stool_Scale.

After many users both layed claim to and denied their affiliation with the tag "emo", it has been decided that the wiki is the best Redbrick tool with which to lay the matter to rest. Here is a list of known emos on Redbrick and pics with which to both prove their "emoness" and identify/avoid them in the real world.

Although not showing some of the more classic emo signs this person never seems to be happy, and has almost never been recorded smiling. That, and his other somewhat "unusual" habits make him emo enough for this page.

Don't let this user's seemingly happy facade fool you, as this photo evidence proves her emoness. Also has a strange obsession with hugs.

==phaxx==

Apart from the trademark frown, phaxx appears here to be taking an uncharacteristically feminine interest in hair, make-up and wearing womens clothing; all hallmarks of the emo.

[[Image:emo_twiggy.JPG]]
Likes to mention the war - emo.

== undone ==
[[Image:Undone_emo.JPG]]

Photographical evidence of undone on the loose in the real world has proven hard to come by.
He has made it onto the list due to his constant claims to haircare prowess and threats to kill his parents in #lobby. Any better pictures may save the life of many an ill-educated DCU student should they approach him unaware of his "emoness" so, please act with the utmost urgency in passing these on.

WAF!

Note: zero is no longer a member of RedBrick due to his epic exam fail and subsequent dropping out. Fagwaffery.

Although many have long suspected zyox of being emo, evidence has only recently come to light:

Hauk:

First off:

== '''THE ORIGINAL HAU*''' ==

And finally:

Well, eons ago, when I was in third year, a friend of mine([http://file015a.bebo.com/5/large/2006/08/17/14/352584869a1735455961b937133628l.jpg mine(this guy)] started babbling about a game on the PC that his brother had picked up. So as there was nothing to do in science that day, I listened to him!

He told me you could nearly do whatever you want in this game. Fly jets, drive jeeps, pick up any gun you want, parachute behind enemy lines at night, or execute a stealth insertion on a beach head. You could be a grunt in a 10 man squad, or a special forces operative with years of experience. It instantly grabbed my attention. So I let him babble on about it! And lo and behold 40 minutes had passed and I was hooked on the idea of this game. So the afternoon dawned and he invited me over to his house to give it a shot.

This was the first game I had played on the PC since Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons(still a highly prized game in my collection). I was amazed by the graphics, and hadn't realised PC's had gotten this powerful. So he let me play for an hour.............and I was addicted straight off. Serious addiction.

And that game was Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis :D

So the week before our Junior Cert Mocks dawned and I couldn't handle not playing the game. So I begged and pleaded with my dad to buy me the 3 Campaign pack in Smyths in Airside. :D This was the first PC game I'd bought in the 2000's. So I raced home to install it on my PC. We had a Dell GX110 desktop(Yes, shitter than the lab PC's in L101 & L201), and when I installed it, I went to the mission editor and the entire landscape was white. ZOMG! Where r t3h 1337 gfx!11!1?!?!

So it turned out I needed a "graphics card". o_0 was my first thought, and the second thought was, "I didn't need one of these things for Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons". So my dad went to PC World in Blanchardstown and came home with the graphics card I will always hold in my heart: The Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440 *tear*. What a trooper. My dad threw the card into the GX110(*shudder*), and BOOM! Sexy landscape! :D

So I played the campaigns and fecked around in the mission editor, doing everything! :D

So how does this coincide with me ending up doing a Computer Applications degree in DCU you ask??

Well, after downloading a few user missions from the [http://www.example.com Operation Flashpoint Editing Center] I saw all these complex cutscenes that were nothing like the pre-scripted cutscenes provided in the editor! :-O

So I investigated my dear Watson, and it turned out the user missions were using these weird things called "scripts" to do this.... After finding this out I went and grabbed a load of tutorials from OFPEC and started working away on them. Gradually these scripts got bigger and more complex and I said to myself, "Hey....something I'm good at!!!111!!"

So eventually my parents noticed me on the computer a lot, and my dad mentioned to me that I may be interesting in programming. So I kind of let it go and went back to my Flashpoint scripting. Eventually I decided to make my own campaign for the game. But didn't have a clue how to link all the missions together. So I hopped on to the OFPEC forum and asked how to do this. And this guy called "bedges" said to use a "class" to link them together.

A WHAT??!!?!?!?!!

So he explained to me what it was and sent me in the direction of more blinkin' tutorials on writing classes for scripting missions together. Of course, I googled "flashpoint classses", and was greeted with Java/C++/Perl/C# classes and I thought "What the hell are all these!?" So then I found out about Java from a friend who(coincidentally) did a Java programming class in DCU during the summer of some year, and told me if I liked scripting to look at Java.

So I looked up Java tutorials and low and behold found classes! So blah de blah, did a bit of Java and rigorously churned out Flashpoint missions. AND BOOM! It was fifth year! And our careers teacher said we had to start looking at careers to aim for, so I thought to myself "wtf am I going to do when I leave school?!?!" I hadn't thought beyond school to be honest, and asked her about a career. She asked me what I do in my spare time, and, even though sorely tempted to say wanking, I told her I was interested in computers, and customizing games. So she went down to her office and grabbed a load of prospectusi from her office. She handed a few to me, and told me to flick through them and get back to her. So I found CA in DCU and said it looked good, and also a few others I can't remember. So she got me all the info on CA in DCU, and I became pretty damn interested in it.

So sixth year came, and went, and I was in Montreal,Canada for a month. My CAO placements were out, and we didn't have a computer in the house we were renting so my dad took me to his office, and "ZOMFGZ!!! A place @ DCU!!!11!".

AND KABOOM! I'm in DCU, on the brink of failing a few subjects and not being allowed into third year and having to repeat poxy second year. And it's semester two! :O

I suppose you want my hobbies interests etc!

In Jokes

2008-07-09T22:42:26Z

Hauk: /* Origin */

With a strong community of posters to be found on Redbrick, it is inevitable that a number of in-jokes exist. Feel free to update and add to this list.

When adding a new in-joke, please keep the same format.

="Is this another one of those recursive wiki entries?"=

Recursive threads are one of the greatest tools of the users of the Redbrick newsgroups - To destroy a thread, merely ask is the thread recursive. Most Redbrick in-jokes have [[recursion]] at the core - recursion is the new lowest form of wit.

===Origin===

Digital media is prone to easy duplication, and the Redbrick newsgroups are no different. Recursive (i.e. repeatitive) newsgroup threads have existed for as long as I can remember, however however originally wrote "Is this another one of those recursive threads?" should probably be locked up for crimes against humanity.

=Finland has an Army?=

Well someone asks a question on the boards and then someone will respond with "Finland has an army?". It sometimes changed to fit in the context of the thread, for example on a thread discussing this wiki, [[User:Doc|Doc]] suggested the topic [[Finland Has An Army]].

Sometimes, someone will then ask, what is this "Finland has an Army?" shenanigans. This will prompt someone else to write a long description of the origin of the joke will then prompt someone else to reply with "Finland has an Army?"

This joke has taken on a life of its own. Some of members of Redbrick work in Google and they slipped in an ad to Google's ads: [http://thedeadone.net/?p=194 Redbrick has an Army?]

===Origin===

Somebody posted a news story about people escaping Finland's conscription by being addicted to the internet. This made them unsuitable for military service.

Somebody followed up to this with "Finland has an army?". I don't think this was repeated too much, but the response, "They held back the Russians in World War 2" - and one million and five variants - was soon posted, by one million and size people eager to demonstrate their sexy historical knowledge. They were so eager, they didn't check to see if anybody else had posted something similar. After a while, people started posting it ironically, to demonstrate that people should check threads before posting.

Since then, "Finland has an army?" and "held back the russians in world war 2" in a response have come to mean "This has already been said". Constant reposting of the same answer in various slightly different (or implausibly identical) forms is a variant of this injoke - the Nebuchadnezzar joke below is an example. Likewise, expect the current topic to be incorporated: "Google has a Finland?" - "Held back the Matrix in world war 2".

===Added to list===

=The Nebuchadnezzar=

Often used in response to obvious questions or lingustic related questions. Someone replies with a post saying "The name of the ship was the Nebuchadnezzar. It was the ship in the Matrix".

===Origin===

[http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~spock Spock] started this one off. He asked a seemingly simple question. He wanted to know if anyone knew a word he had heard which he attempted to spell it phonetically. This provoked a huge amount of responses as people replied saying it was the Nebuchadnezzar. And so an in-joke was born.

=FREE SHERRO!!!=

Often said ironically by older members to indicate that they are being intentionally loud and/or obnoxious.

===Origin===

Sometime in 1997, a user named sherro was DisUsered for being an ass (as a lot of users were wont to be). This then caused a torrent of calls from his friends to re-enable his account. These took the form of the words 'FREE SHERRO!!!' in almost every form NewsGroups, emails to committee, spamming in ItchyNuts and such). It's been verified that the call was also scrawled as graffitti in some of DCUs toilets.

Since then, FREE SHERRO!!! has been used as a statement to indicate that the sayer is being ironically loud and obnoxious. Nobody younger then about 4th gen ever really gets this.

=tbh=

Stands for "to be honest". Gives a cheesy superiority to the person who says it. Usually said when trying to be authoritative about something, or when telling off someone for being stupid. e.g. "You suck tbh", "Gaming is deadly tbh".

===Origin===

Mid-late 2004, originated with zyox who overused it.

=Cammy's Law=

As any Redbrick discussion about religion or religion and science grows longer, the probability of a comparison to relativism approaches one.

===Origin===

See [[Cammy's Law|the article]] for more.

=Batman Movies=

A movie title, quote, plot summary or tag-line has the main character (or a some other element) replaced with Batman. Subsequent posters followup with more examples of "Batman Movies".

> > Batman sees dead people.
>
> "Batman freaked out, joined the army... now he's a professional killer."

There's something about Batman.

===Origin===

It originated on the redbrick.movies board and went on for quite a bit. It resurfaced again in May 2006 on a discussion about what the longest thread on the boards and so it is now an official a Redbrick in-joke.

Hauk:

Well, eons ago, when I was in third year, a friend of mine([http://file015a.bebo.com/5/large/2006/08/17/14/352584869a1735455961b937133628l.jpg mine(this guy)] started babbling about a game on the PC that his brother had picked up. So as there was nothing to do in science that day, I listened to him!

He told me you could nearly do whatever you want in this game. Fly jets, drive jeeps, pick up any gun you want, parachute behind enemy lines at night, or execute a stealth insertion on a beach head. You could be a grunt in a 10 man squad, or a special forces operative with years of experience. It instantly grabbed my attention. So I let him babble on about it! And lo and behold 40 minutes had passed and I was hooked on the idea of this game. So the afternoon dawned and he invited me over to his house to give it a shot.

This was the first game I had played on the PC since Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons(still a highly prized game in my collection). I was amazed by the graphics, and hadn't realised PC's had gotten this powerful. So he let me play for an hour.............and I was addicted straight off. Serious addiction.

And that game was Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis :D

So the week before our Junior Cert Mocks dawned and I couldn't handle not playing the game. So I begged and pleaded with my dad to buy me the 3 Campaign pack in Smyths in Airside. :D This was the first PC game I'd bought in the 2000's. So I raced home to install it on my PC. We had a Dell GX110 desktop(Yes, shitter than the lab PC's in L101 & L201), and when I installed it, I went to the mission editor and the entire landscape was white. ZOMG! Where r t3h 1337 gfx!11!1?!?!

So it turned out I needed a "graphics card". o_0 was my first thought, and the second thought was, "I didn't need one of these things for Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons". So my dad went to PC World in Blanchardstown and came home with the graphics card I will always hold in my heart: The Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440 *tear*. What a trooper. My dad threw the card into the GX110(*shudder*), and BOOM! Sexy landscape! :D

So I played the campaigns and fecked around in the mission editor, doing everything! :D

So how does this coincide with me ending up doing a Computer Applications degree in DCU you ask??

Well, after downloading a few user missions from the [http://www.example.com Operation Flashpoint Editing Center] I saw all these complex cutscenes that were nothing like the pre-scripted cutscenes provided in the editor! :-O

So I investigated my dear Watson, and it turned out the user missions were using these weird things called "scripts" to do this.... After finding this out I went and grabbed a load of tutorials from OFPEC and started working away on them. Gradually these scripts got bigger and more complex and I said to myself, "Hey....something I'm good at!!!111!!"

So eventually my parents noticed me on the computer a lot, and my dad mentioned to me that I may be interesting in programming. So I kind of let it go and went back to my Flashpoint scripting. Eventually I decided to make my own campaign for the game. But didn't have a clue how to link all the missions together. So I hopped on to the OFPEC forum and asked how to do this. And this guy called "bedges" said to use a "class" to link them together.

A WHAT??!!?!?!?!!

So he explained to me what it was and sent me in the direction of more blinkin' tutorials on writing classes for scripting missions together. Of course, I googled "flashpoint classses", and was greeted with Java/C++/Perl/C# classes and I thought "What the hell are all these!?" So then I found out about Java from a friend who(coincidentally) did a Java programming class in DCU during the summer of some year, and told me if I liked scripting to look at Java.

So I looked up Java tutorials and low and behold found classes! So blah de blah, did a bit of Java and rigorously churned out Flashpoint missions. AND BOOM! It was fifth year! And our careers teacher said we had to start looking at careers to aim for, so I thought to myself "wtf am I going to do when I leave school?!?!" I hadn't thought beyond school to be honest, and asked her about a career. She asked me what I do in my spare time, and, even though sorely tempted to say wanking, I told her I was interested in computers, and customizing games. So she went down to her office and grabbed a load of prospectusi from her office. She handed a few to me, and told me to flick through them and get back to her. So I found CA in DCU and said it looked good, and also a few others I can't remember. So she got me all the info on CA in DCU, and I became pretty damn interested in it.

So sixth year came, and went, and I was in Montreal,Canada for a month. My CAO placements were out, and we didn't have a computer in the house we were renting so my dad took me to his office, and "ZOMFGZ!!! A place @ DCU!!!11!".

AND KABOOM! I'm in DCU, on the brink of failing a few subjects and not being allowed into third year and having to repeat poxy second year. And it's semester two! :O

Why Did You Choose Your Username

2007-04-02T22:46:38Z

Hauk:

Feel free to add an an entry about your username below!



==[[User:AngelKat|AngelKat]]==

I wanted AngelEyes1 since its my nick everywhere else, but the dam 8 char rull and all. Drusilla actually picked it, she registered me with AngelKat. Dame her smart ways, I know, Ill make her watch mind numbing soaps so I can be the best hehe ;p

==[[User:art_wolf|art_wolf]]==

Cool picture I have hanging up. Have had it for ages and its by Art Wolfe.

==[[User:atlas|atlas]]==

I originally handed in my student card, and said "Use my first name, please". I got an email later giving me my username as 'James' ( my middle name ). When I asked them to change, I decided to go with something a little cooler. I had been up for hours before that playing Mechwarrior somethingorother, and the Atlas mech was my favourite. I also, occasionally, feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.

==[[User:bilco|bilco]]==

Cause as a fresher I though it was the character's name from The Hobbit

==[[User:cain|cain]]==

I always thought Cain got a raw deal. Firstborn son of Adam, built the first city on earth and he's remembered for allegedly killing his brother Abel though the evidence is, to put it mildly, unconvincing and God was clearly biased against him. When I joined Redbrick, Cain was gone so I got Caine, which was the spelling of the name in an RPG I played at the time. Dropped the 'e' in my second year.

==[[User:calyx|calyx]]==
Misread the name of a song. In a perfect world, I would have been calx.

==[[User:cambo|cambo]]==

An abbreviation of sorts on my surname (campbell)... original eh?

==[[User:cammy|cammy]]==

I was using it as a web handle long before I joined Redbrick. It comes from the name of one of my first roleplaying characters that wasn't just a bunch of stats. The name for that roleplaying character though, came from the computer game Streetfighter 2.

Well actually cammy was my second choice. I would have liked to use The_Dead_One but that exceeds the 8 character limit.

==[[User:coconut|coconut]]==

On Clubs and Socs day 2005 I was put on the spot while joining Redbrick. It went a little something like this.

Keeper of Membership (I forget who it was): "Okay, and pick a username." 
Me: "What... now?!" 
KoM: "Yes." 
Me: "Right now?!?" 
KoM: "Yes." 
Me: "Errr.." *looks down at the free chocolate being given away - notices the wrappers and ingredients* "Em.. coconut?" 
KoM: "kk lol" 
Me: "I'll change it later." 

That last part was, evidently, a lie.

==[[User:colmmacc|colmmacc]]==
I was assigned the username colmmacc for the purposes of my first ever internet account (and job), colmmacc@clubi.ie , way back when in 1995/6 (I think). Ever since, I've used it for all my accounts and it works at every domain on which I hold an account. Despite the huge coincidence, my username is fact not just a mere contracted concatonation of my real name "Colm MacCarthaigh", but is fact an acronym. It stands for "Colm's On-Line Memetic Mechanism [for] Accessing Complicated Computers".

==[[User:cooker3|cooker3]]==
It is my username for the lab machines in the CA building, it's not to do with an obcession with cookers!

==[[User:david|david]]==
The year that I joined DCU Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. With all the new challenges in my life at that time I found that he was someone I could look up to. I could admire his achievements. He was like an uncle to me. I grew up on Kinght Rider and am looking forward to the new movie coming out this year. And then when I got a little older and started noticing girls I got interested in Baywatch. I wanted to be the stud that he was on that show. Appropriately in 2000 when I joined redbrick he released one of his many hit albums in Germany - "The Magic Colleciton". So I chose david as my redbrick username because ... well actually its not that interesting really, its my name in real life.

==[[User:doc|DoC]]==
It's the initials of my real name. I've been called DoC in real life by friends, family, etc, for as long as I can remember.

==[[User:drag0n|drag0n]]==
Friends in college said that I needed a nickname, probably because they're too lazy to say my full name "Diarmuid" and I find "Diarm" quite creepy, so basically, "dragon" popped into their heads and it stuck! I used be called siphi (for no particular reason, it was a random name I was known by onli ne), then changed to drag0n (with a zero). The zero is because the user "dragon" is allready taken on rb. But everyone loved the new name so I added the zero. If you hey the other dragon, you generally get a confused hey in response, so I generally have heys disabled. anyways...

==[[User:dregin|dregin]]==
The lead guitarist with the Backyard Babys' name is dregen[sic]. I took it and stuck an x on the end for a few years as a forum alias but then knocked off the x. tada!!

==[[User:drusilla|drusilla]]==
My nick was surprisingly enough, from the character on Buffy! Friends of mine in second year of school gave it to me when they noticed the similarities between myself and the insane vampire. Funnily, dru was my second nick on RedBrick, before that I was zerocool

==[[User:elmer|elmer]]==
My username came from my first ever email address(elmer@clubi.ie) which i chose based on the looney tunes character elmer fudd

==[[User:exzantia|exzantia]]==
As many, many people have pointed out, my name seems like a random string of letters, and it kinda is... When I was signing up for a Yahoo mail account in '98 everything I tried was already taken. I was not having under-scores or numbers so I decided to come up with something that would always be available! I thus far have succeeded.

==[[User:fatwa|fatwa]]==

In first year, whilst learning to program, my friend Andrew wrote a program that printed out "That's a fatwa on you, mein freund".
I thought it was funny and it must have stuck in my head for redbrick registering. Also, it's short for "fat wanker".

==[[User:fox_chic|fox_chic]]==

Cause I'm an xphile and Mulder's first name is Fox. :)

==[[User:gizmo|gizmo]]==
My nick came from a combination of thinking gizmo was a pretty cool name due to that little flurry critter in Gremlins and also cns putting me on the spot on Clubs And Socs day when I first joined so that I couldn't think of anything else. Strange, but true.

==[[User:gavin|gavin]]==
I needed a username I wouldn't forget and seeing as Gavin was written on my underpants I decided to use that. Handy quinkadink that it is also my real name eh !

==[[User:gmblitis|gmblitis]]==
Would've been gamblitis but for those dam restrictions!so the idea came in the first place came from my unhealthy obsession with horses and cards!

==[[User:hauk|hauk]]==
Well, I got put on the spot when I first went to play UT in secondary school(We used to play it on the old shitty computers they had, at lunch time). So Dalamar from #intersocs, who was in my school, started to lose the plot with player12, and shouted at player12 to change his/her name. So I tried to think of a good name. And at the time I was reading Stormblade from the Dragonlance series, and Hauk was a ranger in that book. So I eh "temporarily" used the name.. It wasn't meant to stick! But I like it now ^_^

==[[User:jesjes|jesjes]]==
My name is Jessica. And people from home call me Jesi, and at some stage during sixth year I decided I much more liked Jess. So when I got THE INTERNETS, I just called myself jesjes. It stuck.

==[[User:keloe|keloe]]==

I wrote down kehoe, my surname and an old nickname, on the slip. However, due to my incapability to write h's correctly, the admins read it as keloe.

==[[User:kpodesta|kpodesta]]==

Because that's my real name. I thought Redbrick was some email yoke - all else fails, I was getting a decent email address.

==[[User:lil_cain|lil_cain]]==

Wanted lil_cian, as he is the smaller Cian, it was mistyped.

==[[User:lithium|lithium]]==

Coz I like the sound of it. And coz it goes crazy when you put it in water. And not because of the Nirvana song.

==[[User:macbain|macbain]]==
He wanted the username 'mcbain' but Karlos (mcbain) got it before him. Being original, Sarv decided that macbain would do instead, so he could forever confuse new users between himself and Karl.

==[[User:marvin|marvin]]==
There are three references here : Starvin Marvin from South Park, Marvin The Paranoid Android from Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy and Marvin the Martian from the Warner Bros cartoon. I'll leave it to the reader to decide which one was the greatest influence (hint: it wasn't Starvin Marvin).

==[[User:mo|mo]]==
Due to my considerable soccer talent, I was nicknamed "mo" after Mo Johnston, the scottish football hero.

==[[User:MoJu|MoJu]]==
It's in a similar vein to HoJu(Homer Junior) from the Simpsons. Given to me by a someone on a forum after they saw a picture of me and thought I was the aforementioned Mordeth. So they suggested Mordeth Junior which was then condensed to MoJu. I then adopted it as my second online nick.

==[[User:montoya|montoya]]==

The name is that of a character from the book "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. The specific character is Inigo Montoya, a Spanish swordsman out for revenge against a 6-fingered man who killed Inigo's father.

==[[User:moridin|moridin]]==

The most evil and therefore cool character in a series of books that I was reading. Said series of books has since degenerated into a mush of crap writing. Boo.

==[[User:nit|niT]]==
Originally my name was a combination of many words that described me, and was dreamt up whilst I was at college in Aylesbury. It all started when I got a demo copy of Diablo from my cousin in Singapore, and us lads built our first LAN at my mate Dave's house. We also played Carmegeddon, the Star Wars game and Quake 2 (of which my mate Dave had a 600mhz processor and TWO 3dfx cards linked up in parallell - he was our God). It was necessary for me to have a character name in Diablo so I chose Nitsuj Buaya Chen, the latter two meaning 'Crocadile man that snaps up ladies' (in Singapore slang) and monkey (as my star sign is golden monkey). I later joined a CS clan called Black Legion and people naturally shortened my name down to nit. At that time I also had a friend who was called 'kippy' in real life and online, so I started using nit in real life too. Later I joined a 'talker' called theManor which was a twin site to the LambdaMoo, there was a guy there who set it all up and went by the nick 'beN', he and girlfriend sadly died in a car accident and so manor spods paid tribute but capitalising the final letter of their nick, hence why I use niT.

==[[User:noelfitz|noelfitz]]==

8 letter truncation of my real name (boring but true.)

==[[User:ornat|ornat]]==

You'd have to ask my parents that question. Ornat is my real name, and unlike popular belief, no, I am not a guy!

==[[User:p|p]]==

Back the old days of IOL/Indigo's IRC servers I used a variety of names, which all began with the letter p. Eventually, I ditched the different nicknames and used ^P^. Redbrick doesn't support weird characters though, so now it's just p. It also happens to be my middle initial.

==[[User:phaxx|phaxx]]==

Originally from the character Lord Fax in the book [http://www.google.com/search?q=dragonriders+of+pern Dragonriders Of Pern] by Anne McCaffrey. I used Lord_Fax in [http://research.microsoft.com/vwg/projectsheets/comicchat.htm MS Comic Chat] for a while. I saw somebody using a 'ph' instead of an 'f', and thought, in that usual 13-year-old way, OMGZ COOL, and promptly became LordPhaxx.
I was LordPhaxx for a few years, until until around 16 when I met a bunch of other Irish nerds one afternoon. [[User:jerry|jerry]] was among them, and commented, "With a name like LordPhaxx, I expected you to be taller."

So er, I dropped the pretentious 'Lord', and I've been 'phaxx' ever since.

See, nothing to do with fax machines! :)

==[[User:receive|receive]]==

It was Michelle Smith (swallow) that dragged me along to sign up during first year, so I'd handed over my 4euro before I'd begun to think of a username, so I turned and said "Shit, Michelle, what will I pick?" and she suggested "receive" because it went so well with swallow. Stupidly I agreed, and it stuck (after we found a spell checker to check how to spell it that is), so i never changed it to anything better. Ironically, i never have been at the receiving end of swallows abilities.

==[[User:r0b|r0b]]==
Rob is my name *shock* *gasp* rob was taken so used r0b instead. Amazing story tbh

==[[User:robby|robby]]==

its short for robert...thats cool no?

==[[User:sandman|sandman]]==

I didn't. It was assigned on the basis that a) I was asleep and b) I read comics, didn't I? Ironically, I hadn't read much Sandman at the time.

==[[User:scraib|scraib]]==

I'm from Kilkenny and 'ScrÃ¡ib' is the Irish for 'Cat-Scratch'! 'Tis a very GAA name, but to be honest I could never play hurling so I picked it really cause it sounded cool...

==[[User:shimoda|shimoda]]==

It was a character in a book (Illusions by Richard Bach) I read during my formative years. Another rb user thought the description of the protagonist was suited to me so I nabbed the name.

==[[User:singer|singer]]==

I was a singer in a band. The guitarist mocked me for being the singer by calling me "singer". The nickname stuck. Non-Redbrick people address me as singer! My 2nd choice username was "scano".

==[[User:spanner|spanner]]==

In fact eeh! picked it out during the hay days of eeh gift grub and in fairness now sometimes im a bit of a spanner.

==[[User:spock|spock]]==

I chose spock because I had no idea that it would follow me around for at least the next 10 years.
I didn't even know what Redbrick was when I was joining, and when I had a membership form thrust
in my face by Hyper on Freshers day 1996, we had three preferences for username. I put down "spock" as my first preference. It wasn't taken, and that is how I didn't end up with the username "data", or "benji".

==[[User:svan|svan]]==

Sarunas Vancevicius. First letter of name, then first 3 letters from surname.

==[[User:thedara|thedara]]==

My nick was given to me years before redbrick on irc (irc.phishy.net) I was the first person some americans had met called Dara and they
found that interesting for some reason or other and hence I became thedara.
On redbrick irc i'm known as Darz0re, It was a in-joke at the time when myself and dizer stuck z0re at the end of out names
hence thez0rekorp.com and z0re.org

==[[User:tnkrbell|tnkrbell]]==

As a kid my dad used to always call me Belle.When I got older and after many trips to Disney I took a loving to the mischiefious tinkerbell from Peter Pan. Tinkerbell though was too long so JesJes decided on tnkrbell instead.

==[[User:undone|undone]] ==

Couldn't think of anything on Clubs & Socs day, so for about 2 days my username was my actual name. Then I picked this, because of the Weezer song, but also because I think it's a nice word.

==[[User:werdz|werdz]]==

A long time ago in a net cafe far, far away, a sexy asian friend by the name of quank said "Hey Andrew, stop using the name andrew in CS. Use werdna instead. It's andrew only backwards!" - That lasted about five minutes until people got bored trying to pronounce it ("OMG! WERDNA! QUIT TK'ING YOU NOOB!") and just started shouting werdz instead ("OMG! WERDZ! QUIT TK'ING YOU NOOB!"). And that's my life story up until this point.

==[[User:wilburt|wilburt]]==

Long story, guys i used to know named me Wilburtino, i didnt really like it cos they were muppets. However, it grew on me over time. Wanted Wilburtino or Will as my username but they wouldnt let me :( so wilburt was the only one left. Like all rb usernames i think, they are spur of the moment. (or admin mistakes)
