    Joined my SR year in high school because I should have been doing something better with my time but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what was better than shockernet. This was the first username I tried. I wanted something simple without meaning.

    I figured you just forgot to add the stick.

    I joined a message board about that game and used my game name on that message board.

    When I first found ShockerNet, I tried to create a user ID, but I was told I already had an account. ShockerNet was on the same bulletin board system as the game board I was already on. I already had a username and password for the game message board that worked on ShockerNet. So, my name here is based on the fact that I died a lot in an online game.
    Lame story, but welcome to the party! :-)
