Didn't we have this thread already??!
In the glory days of BBSing(mid 80's) when I started telecommunications, my nickname was Soviet Guard. Why? Well, I used to read a lot on WWII and while being of German background, I admired Soviet resiliency to bounce back. Soviet Guard were the so-called elite Russian units. Rostov was the name I used when playing BBS games(like LORD, Tradewars, Space Empires, etc). Eventually, I just used Rostov for everything. So uh, yeah. Rostov. 25 years and still going strong.
[dear God, am I that old?! *SOB*]
