    while we're at it how about CyberGnu? CGnu doesn't exactly roll off the tongue and just saying gnu doesn't do the job
    Yes it does.

      What about Locutus?

      That's 7 letters. AFAIK there isn't a regular way people shorten his name, but maybe I'm wrong.

      Same with Theseus.

      So there's two I've found.

      You're wrong Stefu.

        Besides, Hardman wasn't a poster. He was a phenomenon.

            Isn't Locutus shortened to Loc? He must be, because otherwise my theory would be wrong, and I'm never wrong.

            As for Theseus, I don't even know who he is.

              You could just call him Hard.

                    Heck, you can reduce everybody's name to only two characters and still have over 6000 name possibilities...

                          Actually, the number of 'non-official' occasions people have used my full nickname without abbreviations or misspellings has just about been doubled by this thread

                          Anyone who can think of a corruption of my name that I haven't seen before gets a cookie


                          And yes, Loc is the most common form...

                              I think Stefu is right. In my experience with chats, I've never seen someone's which wasn't shortened to less than 6 letters, except if it is below (mine is obviously "Spiff", which is good, since I want to be called Spiff )
