the nex part means death in latin and ive always felt distanced or dead from social life

This was a good one to bring back.
Jureth was a name i chose after i saw it in a game of star fleet command 3. Jureth is a klingon star ship commander.
as for my avatar. i like the hulk and i like over kill. nothings more over kill then cosmic power zombie hulk.
i would have put thanos there but his position of power could be debated depending on when you want to refrence him from his own prespective.

forum name comes from a variation of an xmen charcater's name.
the avatar is taken from sins of a solar empire's tech tree for the advent, "power" (obviously colored hued it to red)
No longer an active member of the EVGA forums.

Avatar, too lazy to create one.
Name is "flying Ion" condensed down. Ion was a Saturn "coupe" I had until Dec. 2009. Flying described my driving style. Before I moved back to CA from WA I had a custom WA plate that said "FLYNION". The whole ion thing works for geeky/techy things too so I've kept it and use it everywhere even though the car is now long gone :)

I wanted to make my nickname say hillbilly, but my parents thought that was stereotypical and derogatory, so my friend came up with billyfromhill as a substitute. That was several years ago, and billyfromhill has stuck ever since.
I think you all can figure out why my avatar is a picture of a hillbilly on a computer.

A secret? I just figured it out. Your nick means you're actually Spiderman. And your avatar means you're a cartoon. You're Peter Parker from the 60's. You've retired from your super hero days and now are hiding in EVGA quarters from being shaned. PS: Another thing from your avatar I noticed. Because of your super hero past, you like wearing tights. And you apparently are fond of beer and cheerleaders. If you pay close attention, those 2 look like Supergirl and Kitty Pryde. Yes.. I'm bored u.u.

My original name when i started game was "Winters", which I'm sure everyone can guess that it came from Band of Brothers... used that for quite some time while i played Battlefield 1942...
Then i decided it was finally time for a name change and had a few different ones for a little bit, tried Vertigo for awhile, and Razer, and about two others that i can't remember
Finally settled on Phoenix, no particular reason besides i thought it sounded sweet... avatar is of course a Phoenix made of fire!
(FYI it is in-fact spelled P-h-o-e-n-i-x, hardly anyone ever spells it right!)

When searching for a Nick, i wanted something that really reflected me
Theophilus comes from the Bible, Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1
The name means "Lover of God"
Nobody is for certian if it refered to a specific person or was adressing all "Lovers of God"
My Av is of course "Gilligan" (Bob Denver). Why? Idont Know.
Before that my Av was "Daryl" (William Sanderson) from the "Bob Newhart show" from the 80's.
Next Av? Something Cool im sure.

When I was younger, I used "touche" in speech a lot... Naw, I'm not French, I'm American, and I know it's a verb meaning "to touch"...but I used it with the American usage... And I dunno who found my avatar...I think it was NordicJedi while we were in the chat room. But it has touche in it. So, yeah.

My name is the same as all my online game names.
I thought the picture was interesting, cause that was taken back when almost all computers were white, and you could drop them off a 12 story building without denting the case. Seriously you guys remember these things? They weighed a ton and had capability to mount like two hdds.
The one that my server is in, is like half the size of a Thermaltake Xaser, and weighs nearly three times as much. I fear the day it gets dropped on my toe.

I get my name from when I was a little younger my parents would buy me Ferrero Rocher every once in awhile which is where I originally got my name "Ph3rr3r0" which is my Steam and XFire name (if anyone wants to add me  ) which then was changed to Pherrero but I wanted something shorter and it was condensed down to Phero. My avatar is cut from a scene with one of my favorite characters from an animated series ironically called Avatar: The Last Airbender, just reminding everyone that Toph is blind.

Nickname is: My first name and the first 3 letters of my last name. I wasn't thinking of being creative at the time I registered my first EVGA Product. I would change it to the nickname my friends call me by if, the system allowed me to.
I was a Professional Truck Driver for 25 years and the Kenworth Model W900 was my most favorite to run in. The Avatar is actually a Vintage Truck Logo...not what would be on the grill of the late-model truck in my signature.

Mine either has meaning derived from ancient Samoan texts, or it's just my name. I often forget which. Avatar is a random pic I copy/pasted. I also wonder, what would Brian Boitano do?

My name is a pseudonym that i use when i sigh my artwork. I came up with it about 5-6 years ago with a help of my friend who sort of gave me an idea. And my avatars, are my artwork. My hobby is digital art (it goes along with my other one - computers  ). I use CS3 as my medium with a help of Wacom tablet. Which I think was one of the best inventions ever. Cheers
