Okay, news flash for you all: I signed up for this forum when I was 12. Yes, I'm 15 now.

That's the reason I sucked at programming, FLPs, FMPs, and talked like a fucking 16 year-old emoticon-obsessed girl until I actually matured.

I had been playing Gaia since I was 8, and that's where I got my horrible emoticon-16-year-old-girl-speek from, and I had never learned how to talk better online until I was like thirteen.

This username makes me want to kill myself, I never realized how much of a homosexual it makes me sound like. (Flare boy. Seriously? It sounds really really gay)

That's the reason I've been signing things "323" now, instead of "flare" like before. I'm almost tempted to ask for a username change to 323, but I'm not sure I want to forget all of the good memories that have been had on this forum with this username.

I got the flareboy name because I originally wanted my name to be flameboy on Gaia, because I have red hair. When flameboy was taken, I tried flareboy because (Being a dumb 8 year-old) I thought they meant the exact same thing. I got the 323 because I had to add random numbers after it, because the normal flareboy was taken. Since then, I feel the numbers "323" have really become a part of me and really mean something to me, haha. Whenever I hear the numbers 323, all I can think about is my online identity, all of the people I've met, and all of the people that I've talked to in the past, had good times with, and for all I know, may never talk to again.

But anyway, that's the story of my username. What's the story of yours? How did you come up with your username? Why do you like it? Why don't you like it? How many times have you changed usernames?
