I have been asked at another site to explain the source of my username. If I am going to offer that information there, I should share it with my friends here first. <br /> <br /> It began when I was an elementary school student. I was injured in the playground during recess. I was tripped on purpose. I received serveral minor injuries and one not so minor one to my hip and another even more severe to my knee. I was also kicked over and over again in my injuried knee while I was unable to move or defend myself. The injuries healed but have left behind a permanent reminder, in the form of a limp. On some days it is not noticable but on bad days it impossible to ignore. On most days it is somewhere in between these extremes. <br /> <br /> A couple of years after that, when I was a student in Junior High School, we were shown a film in science class, the film was hosted by a silly cartoon character of Pan, the sayter god from greek mythology. One of the personality features of this cartoon character was that he walked with a gait that was similar to a limp. As luck would have it, that was one of my bad days when the my limp was more apparent. One of the students make a comment about the cartoon character stating that he walked as bad as me. That made the connection between me and Pan. By the end of the movie, I had been tagged with the epithet "The Panoid". This was meant by them to be hurtful, and even some of the teacher started to use it. <br /> <br /> At the time we had a bulliten board on the hallway wall next to the door of the main office where we student were supposed to post announcements and thoughts of the day, much like the shoutbox that we have here. We had to sign our posted items. I didn't post announcement but rather what I hoped to be inspirational thoughts of the day. Once posted such a message would normally stay aroung for a week or so, until someone else need that space. Mine would be removed and discarded very shortly, usually within an hour. <br /> <br /> Then I had an idea, I altered "The Panoid" into "I am Pangorian" and started signing my thoughts of the day with that nom de plume. For a while they became some what popular. Instead of being discarded when removed from the bulletin board, I saw many of them being used as mottos in class rooms or taped to book covers of the other students. I didn't think that the alteration of the epithet into the nom de plume was extreme enough to hide the connection, but, as far as I know, no one ever made the connection. However, it did not last. One day someone noticed me adding a note to the board and discovered that I was "I am Pangorian", word spread and and within the next couple of days, all the existing thoughts of the day, vanished. <br /> <br /> A year latter, I had a problem with a teacher, who was was unfairly grading my work. I tested that theory by turning in a major creative writing assignement under the nom de plume of "Pangor". I was still being called "The Panoid" as an insult. So, I was not really hiding my identity if she would have stopped and thought about it. What did happen was that the assignment was graded and given an "A+", the first grade above a "D" that I ever got from her. She praised the quality of the work in front of the class and demanded that student who wrote the paper identify himself or herself. I did, and she would <b>not</b> accept my claim. I did in time prove my claim, and she reexamined the paper and regraded with an "F". <br /> <br /> In technical, scientific, and business circles, such a name is hardly acceptable, however, in artistic and creative field, ever since that day, Pangor has been my regular nom de plume. As the my use of Pangor became more well known in the school, the use of "The Panoid" as an attempt to hurt me faded away. Of course there were other names that they used to insult me with instead. <br /> <br /> None of my writing in those days were well recieved in school by the students, faculty, or administration. Oh there was one that was well recieved by a theacher, for a while. I have used some of those old writings from memory in to accompany some of my recent 3D artwork. The original titles of some of my old writings that I was able to recreate at least parts of from memory and used this way or otherwise posted are: <b><a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/viewtopic.php?t=1316">The Pit of Perdition</a>, <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/showphoto.php?photo=1930">Affirmation of Enduring Love</a>, <a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/showphoto.php?photo=2163">To the Valley of the People (a Paleolithic Prometheus)</a>.</b> <br /> <br /> Pangor

If you were, would you tell me? Is that among the best things you can say? Did it really? That is a long time. It goes without saying. Perhaps I misunderstood. What were you? Where? It's true a priori.

Well my friend, Pan is a tricky fellow and the god of field and harvest, so any association with him is a high honor in my book. You are always welcome in Olympus.

Thank you, oh Mighty Zeus. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

Posy, what can I possily say, you have bewildered me. <br /> <br /> Pangor

I don't have any reason to what can he or she possily say you have bewildered you.

She is no more with us but a use the name "Jan Reinar" for a character of one of mine stories and keep the name as a username in many websites even any website where I made a register. I don't know made it as a way to remember her or I just like the name.

Yes! You repeated my words and I thought the site was crashing! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />

Years ago a needed a nick for something and I wondered what to use, at that moment I was seeing an anime dedicated TV chanel (I love good anime) then a word apaired in the screen and I liked the sound of the word it was RAYEARTH but I was joking with my brother and my wife so I typed it wrong didn't chequed it and sended the nick as I typed it, RAYERA, very, very bad typed <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_wall.gif" alt="" /> <br /> but I liked it much more than Rayearth, I don't know the way you people of all over the world do pronounce it, but I in castellan pronounce it something like this RAHSHERAH (I think if I write it in this way the english speaking people should pronounce it the way a mean) you Tormentor shouldn't have problem with your italian I think <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Mine was named after a cartoon called the Snorks. In one episode there was a girl snork that could not speak. All she could say was TaDaaaa! I thought it would be a good name for a little Chi Puppy (A Girl) and named her short for T'da. I took the name and added 42 cause of my age at the time and that is why I use a Chi dog for my Avatar. Simply put, Tda42. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ! How interesting ! I'm sorry for what happened to you at school Pangor! I had a similar teacher at high school and I can assure you that she paid hardly when I finished the school... <br /> <br /> I explained the meaning of "tormentor" here: <br /> <br /> <a class="post-url" href="http://posetteforever.com/viewtopic.php?t=371" target="_blank">http://posetteforever.com/viewtopic.php?t=371</a> <br /> <br /> I have to say that I've not a particular feeling with my username and it means nothing particular for me, I'm also known as "Toxic Fart" , "Rubber Ducky" , "Pastasciutta" etc..

Would you like to know more?

I have just returned from that thread, and now my sides are sore from laughing. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

Poserkatz - mhm... <br /> <br /> Katz = Katz' (shorter form, not unusual in Germany) = Katze means "cat", <br /> it's neutral, wether female not male, but often "Katze" means female cat, <br /> and "Kater" means male cat. So "Katz" without the vocal "e" could be male... <br /> <br /> It's a bit similar to nicknames or the german "-lein", "-chen", for "Poser" i <br /> don't have to say about, i think. <br /> <br /> The cat of Poser to me is real funny <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> , and i'm a lover of cats, one of them <br /> is a part of my real life, so i merge two things. <br /> And yeah, also Tigers, Leopards, Lions are Cats - therefore the avatar. That's all. <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" />

""? is all?

Hawktoey - This started out as Hawk. My D&D character name. We played this game allot in the service to pass time. Once a group of us got together and joined a tournament. When enrolling they had mad a rule that everyone would use their regular character name and that for dupilicates the committy would just add numbers to the end. So if one person signed up as hawk they would be hawk1 then when the next person signed up as hawk they would be hawk2 so on and so fourth. By the time I signed up they had got to hawk2e. My freind stated how that sounded like someone spitting, and laughed! I thought about it and liked it but changed it's meaning to a HAWK SPITTING so hawktoey was born.

My user name stems from my diablo II characters and my deep love of mythology. Originally I had built all of the greek gods as uber hacked diablo II characters and went around helping people who were new to the game. I became known as the go to guy for equipment and answers not to mention a champion for those who were new and needed guidence and protection. Eventually I became most known for the kindly and helpful Zeus and the vengeful wrath of Ares. On the Ladderhall forum I wanted to project the persona of the kinder of the two and thus The Mighty Zeus was born. It has since been changed to Zeus FX on Ladderhall forum.

Hey these are all so interesting..it was a great idea to share this...mine is really very simple...my name angela means the same as angel which my mom wanted to call me and I am sure glad she didn't as I don't think I could have lived up to that..but the name means messenger of God. Also the first picture that I really did well with poser was an angel pointing to the sky which I called messenger and from that point on I began to call my self messenger..and there you have it

Now I have to dry my eyes. Messenger, there is something ironic about seeing your avatar wile reading about angels, that I ended up having a good laugh. Yet, I was wondering about your username, and if there was a connection to angels. <br /> <br /> Pangor

Interesting to read the stories behind the nicks.. Well i don't have any imagination when it comes to usernames so mine is really simple. I'm called thilda so my nick TdaC is short for that and the C is for my lastname.

You, know what Thilda? Your user name is much more imaginitve and original than many of my students had wanted to use. I don't know how many times I had to tell someome, chose another one, qaz, zaq, qwe, ewq, asd, sex, god, or the all time favorite qwerty, are not available. <br /> <br /> Pangor

Usernames <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> Had a few of those over time. <br /> Used to go as Ken_the_Viking (Ken being [part of my] first name), then later changed it to Deviant Viking. <br /> The 'Viking' part I use 'coz of my norwegian heritage (we norwegians being a bunch of plundering, raping and burning heathens <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ), and the fact I was really into vikings, and especially the norse mythology when I was younger. <br /> The 'Deviant' part is because how of different I'd be from vikings. They sail, plunder, drink themselves stupid and such, and I prefer sitting still, rarely drink, and make art. Not exactly your average kinda viking <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <br /> It's also due to how much different I am from most people here where I live. <br /> <br /> Now I usualy just go by 'kfvik', which is made up of letters from my full name. It's my usual login name, and easily identifies me. <br /> I occasionally also use 'Goth Bear' if I for whatever other reasons can't use DV or kfvik, due to my avatar

Dev! i think you're just as normal as the rest of us here:)...... on the other hand, maybe that's not a good thing.

Goth Bear, the cute cudly and yet scary little teddy. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" />

Mine has no meaning to me and I really don't even like it. Going to change it someday maybe if I get around to it. Then maybe I'll even make a avatar!!!!

Uh! Oh <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> ! Look who's back <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" />

Yea, I see! Welcome back Winter! <br /> <br /> Pangor

I have edited the inital post of this topic, to correct some typos, and added links to works cited, and correct a major error of omission from the incident of the injury that began the process that lead me to using Pangor as my pen name and username. <br /> <br /> Pangor

If you were, would you tell me? Did it really? That is a long time. Where? It's true a priori.

Those are cool stories. I was wondering about the name "Pangor," now I know . . .

All of them?

Sure. The names we choose for ourselves say alot about us - I think . . .

Is that a fact.

Yeah. I'll go with that . . .

Posy, meet Gojira. Gojira, this is Miss Posy Rosabella Posette. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

I've lost the context, pangor. Are we still on Gojira this?

The pleasure is all mine . . .

Posy, <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

I haven't heard anything like that before: pangor said I smile Pangor.

Posy, yes, your comments make me <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> . <br /> <br /> Pangor

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> I don't have any reason to yes your comments make you.

It happens every time <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" /> ....

It depends on what the meaning of the word "it" is.

Posy, The meaning of "it" is: <br /> <br /> It It (i^t), pron. OE. it, hit, AS. hit; cf. D. het. <br /> root181. See He. <br /> The neuter pronoun of the third person, corresponding to the <br /> masculine pronoun he and the feminine she, and having the <br /> same plural (they, their or theirs, them). <br /> 1913 Webster <br /> <br /> Note: The possessive form its is modern, being rarely found <br /> in the writings of Shakespeare and Milton, and not at <br /> all in the original King James's version of the Bible. <br /> During the transition from the regular his to the <br /> anomalous its, it was to some extent employed in the <br /> possessive without the case ending. See His, and <br /> He. In Dryden's time its had become quite established <br /> as the regular form. <br /> 1913 Webster <br /> <br /> Pangor

I see. Where did he get it?
