I'm not on this forum very often, but, after someone asked Ffets how he got his username, I guess I might as well start a thread regarding this topic, as I don't remember seeing this topic ever appear on the forums.

In any case, I guess I'd better start with how my username came into being. About six years ago, I wanted to create an account for an MMORTS named War of Legends. Back in those days, I wasn't nearly as old as I am now (well, none of us were), and my favourite LotR character was Legolas the Bowman of Mirkwood (it's Aragorn now, but that's a tale for another time). I tried Legolas, but that was of course taken. Next I tried LegolasGreenleaf, but that was a bit too long. LegolasGlf didn't work any better. I didn't want any numbers or funny characters in my username, so I next tried Glflegolas. That seemed to be fine, so I went with that. (My avatar that I use to this day comes from that game, btw).

About two years later (January 11, 2012) I joined the War of Legends Wiki. Since I was becoming a "good average" player (I still describe myself that way in every other game I play), I decided to use the same username both in-game and on the wiki. Since that day my Wikia username has been Glflegolas. I use the same username in virtually every online community nowadays. It always seems to be available.
