Advice on Choosing a Username

New to Everything? About to reveal your wonderful self to your fellow noders? WAIT! Use caution when choosing a username, for you are treading on influential territory! This is an identity you will have to be very comfortable using. Certain choices can yield certain results. Here are a few tips:

• Using a name with a broad context will allow you to actually morph into that personality, write quirky little comments, and get voted up like crazy!! (see user God)
• Using a name with male/female connotations can bring flirting from the opposite cyber sex. If you want this, go ahead! If not, try and confuse them! (see users ideath and Damian)
• It never hurts to use an awe-inspiring name. At least subconsciously, it strikes fear into the hearts of your fellow noders. (see user sensei)
• if you want to write a long string of serious, heart-tearing nodes, stay away from usernames that are just downright hilarious! (see user Captain Spam)

Alas... I did not abide by these rules when picking out my own name. Were I to do it all again, I would name myself

Damn, I hope that one's not taken!

In case you don't realize, this node is not to be taken as an insult! I love all of the usernames. Whoever was online at the time of my node became an unwilling example. And, it was a nodeshell screaming to be filled...
