Agree. It immediately disclosed an age difference with other prominent male posters to these public forums, some of whom apparently have unresolved issues with older men in their families. Should never have deferred the choice to two of my six grandchildren. My son discovered RHP in July 2007 and urged me to join to mentor his two oldest children on his account.

I am really Marc W. Miller and I don't have a problem with using mwmiller, but if I had given it some thought I probably would have came up with something more chess-related. At the time I was just happy to find a website where I could play chess.
However, it would have been nice to have a registration "warning" advising me to take a few moments to select my username carefully, as it would be permanent and there would be no option to change it later.

Anyway, you might not have come across this, but if you choose a username that is already taken, many websites will suggest using that name with a number appended.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYes I guess I would have been but what if there were yet another Steve who was still younger than I. Would I be Jumbo Stees?
So, Steve, if you had been "another uncle (younger than me, Big Stees)"
your Red Hot Pawn Nickname may well have been "BS"? lol

(Cue joke about Besser being gut, but Schlechter being besser.)
the alternative was Zukertort.... but that name was already taken....
and 'Torta de Azucar' was not a good war name for me
but "Schlecter" was available....
so that is the serie of sad and dreadful events behind my nickname

If you knew everything you know now about Red Hot Pawn on the day you joined, would you still have chosen your site nickname of record? If not, what other nicknames would you have considered and why?

we had four guys from our chess club form a chess team to play in a team championship once. There were two white and two black guys on it. I suggested the name Grischuks of Opposite Colors but they rejected it.
I did name my brother's bowling team once though. They were always drunk so I suggested "The Alley-coholics". They used it 🙂

Would "JC and Steve" or "YoPhang", possibly have been your business colleagues at the time of joining Red Hot Pawn?
