YNOT live chat...

Stole my brothers name ( at the time I didn't want my real name besmerched by any porn affiliation, but he didn't give a fuck.) :)

Added the "at ilynx"...( which at the time the was the #1 amateur free site) because one of the first questions everyone asked "what sites do you run"

To this day loads of people pronounce it crazy , instead of the simple "Nick at Ilynx"

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

Ah...more memories! :)

The first time I read it on a board, I mentally took a few shots at it, and came up with "nick-AT-uh-links." It seemed logical, since I had no knowledge of the world's number one amateur free site. (Which was nominated for an AVN award the same year my story site was, for you trivia freaks in the audience.) It wasn't until I asked the booming voice on the phone how to pronounce it that I got the correct pronounciation. "Oh," I said, as the explanation made perfect sense.

And The Actual became "Technick," due to an incredible proficiency with making stuff whiz around. :okthumb:

Did you win?

We won the award for "Best Site voted for by Surfers"
( Ironic huh?)

LOL

And Redlion accepted the award with a speech that started "Nickatilynx will be delighted to see that his bot worked"

After winning I asked Serge who was buying my traffic then if it meant more money.

He said "No"

:(

I sorta lost interest in awards then....

:)

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

No, I didn't win. I was so clueless about the whole process, I didn't even have a "vote for me!" button on my site. I just thought "oh, nominated, cool" and went back to work.

If I *had* won, redlion would have had to get up there twice, because there was no way in absolute hell I would have. I don't do "in front of people." They don't even have a story site category anymore. Damn shame because my story site now is gorgeous.

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

Shit, i thought that name came from "trainspotting" ya live and learn :okthumb:

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

For a long time, I thought Nickatilynx and Technick were the same guy, but one was like the tech altar ego of the other...

I'm joking abouyt the Sykamore Boyette...heheh

it was Trainspotting, but also the classic punk rock song by GBH

I'm strapped into my bed,
Electrodes in my head.
My nerves are really bad,
It's the best time I ever had.

I'm a sick boy
And there's no cure.
I'm a sick boy,
There should be more.

But I'm happy the way I am,
Like a sardine in a can.
People taking notes,
People in white coats.

I see school girls everywhere,
Short skirts and pigtailed hair.
But why must I suffer,
For being a gymslip lover?

but, um, no, I'm not a gymslip lover....

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

Dravyk is actually not a Russian/Balkan name :)

... It's a science fiction one. One I and an old writing partner came up with decades ago writing some SF. Captain Aran Dravyk of the Privateer ship "The Rapier". :)

Yes, geek!

I was getting my first SLIP/PPP account (dialup to you youngins) and they wanted a name for my Internet account. Everything I came up with, someone else already had, so they said "well you can have that name, but with a 5 after it or a 143 after the name". I said, "no, I don't do that AOL shit! No numbers!" ... After a dozen different tries, I knew they couldn't possibly have "dravyk", and there you have it.

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

Yes. One "altar ego" was nice, well mannered, well spoken, a total joy.
The other one was Nickatilynx. :biglaugh:

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

thats right....fuck with the shark....

It was compounded by the fact that I'm reclusive and rarely went to a show


;-)))

I used to love SweetT's list he'd do before a show

1.) Nickatilynx will not be there.

LOL

Re: Your stupid nickname
 

He's like 53 years old now but is still in damn good shape. He can't do 60 and 90 minute matches and some of the stuff he used to be able to do but he's definatelyt still in very good shape.
