How My Username Came to Be

[Antichrist]

This thread tells us to talk about our experiences so I may as well start with mine.

Today I saw this Forum, saw some high quality posts and good atmosphere, so I made the decision to register.

Then I entered my username, details, etc...and I was then asked to input my password to log in to my new account.

My password contained more than 30 characters, and then the computer changed my username to 'Checking...', because it took so long to check ze password!

Anyway, that's my story of the last 10 mins of my life...et toi?

Hi Chessleader,

I request that my username be changed to 'Antichrist'. If this is not possible, changing it to 'Checking' would be fine.

That's an interesting change of username, but sounds cool to me.

What was the inspiration for the choice of username?

[Antichrist]

My main inspiration was that it sounded interesting without being too quirky. I don't know much about Antichrist, either.

here is antichrist according to wekipedia

The Antichrist, according to Christianity, is one who fulfills Biblical prophecies concerning an adversary of Christ while resembling him in a deceptive manner.[1] The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny the ultimate salvation. "Antichrist" is the English translation of the original Koine Greek ἀντίχριστος, pronounced än-tē'-khrē-stos. It is made up of two root words, αντί + Χριστός (anti + Christos). "Αντί" can mean not only “against” and “opposite of”, but also “in place of",[2] "Χριστός", translated "Christ", is Greek for the Hebrew "Messiah" meaning "anointed," and refers to Jesus of Nazareth[3] within Christian theology. The term "antichrist" appears 5 times in 1 John and 2 John of the New Testament — once in plural form and four times in the singular. [4]
