Mine comes from a friend's girlfriend centuries ago, who misstock me with someone called so. As it seems I have a doppelganger that I have never meet, but many people en my small town have seen.

That's the story.

And what's behind "aka Segfej"? Is it by pure chance that it resembles the Hungarian "seggfej" (butthead or asshole)?  ;)

BananaForum and AAA/AAS multi Banning of my first Community Profiles. Sort of Dementia thing related to a skull trauma.
First ban on 1C for saying "FM of Ta152 sucks, have you ever talked to Mr. Reschke? These Rechlin data are worth
Toiletpaper." My 2nd ban I got over saying their Me262 sucks. That alone wasn't a ban worth, but there was word about
Yak and über. On AAA I got banned for a Me262 case and two cases of being unable to restore Profile.
I think they found it suspicious I had such troubles or heck knows.

There was another 1C ban, I forgot the cause. Than they tracked my IP and I never registered again.

My first nick in 2007 or so was casual a hungarian Rebell of the Puszta "Rózsa Sándor", I forgot the password and got banned once.
Upon re-registering at AAA I forgot (Username Password combi) again my vital data,
this made me pissed off over my retardedness and I had a longer self forced break from June 2009 until April 2010 when I came here.
Then I ran out of nicks and chose what came first to my mind segfej Asshead, a hungarian badmouth word, it stood as my
Skinning Alias, but for SAS I it turned out to be not needed any longer, we had our peace here, so I changed that to Knoch in 2010 again.

In Battlefield Communities I was known for losing my registration frequently at Forgotten Hope, Singleplayer, AIX and Battlegroup and I had a monthly Moderator case helping me to get access again.

I finally solved these issues in 2010.

For me, it is extremely simple…

When I was a kid, back in the '60s-'70s, I was a fan of comics… especially one…




All the French speaking guys which are here know this character ! It is Gaston Lagaffe !

So, as I was a fan of it when I was 8-15 y.o., and was always reading his adventures, one of my uncles began to call me Gaston… and more and more people in my family followed using this nickname ! Later, also all my friends began with it… and since now, 50 years later, at the age of 58, people continue to call me Gaston, which I am happy with, as I like this nickname.

What a fascinating thread!
I chose mine when first going online with EAW as an ironic reaction to all the heroic handles that seemed to proliferate in the early www days when lots of keyboard jockeys claimed they had been in Special Forces and had names with Wolves and Eagles and the like featuring or Luftwaffe Aces.

Not as unique as I thought...turned out there was an old Bluesman with the same moniker!

I really should change mine! So, I started on here as Blueboy777uk (my favourite colour, gender description, lucky number, location). When I first downloaded DBW someone on here (in a similar thread) suggested I change it to DarkBlueBoy, and I kinda liked it.

However, my days of being a "boy" are loooooong gone and I play mainly BAT now so maybe I should be DarkBlueBatman? :D :D

When I first got IL2 - don't remember how far back - the very first one. I flew offline only for a few years
- didn't know anything about online flying.
The first pilot name I created who made it through a campaign to the end of the war was a very fictional
"Albrecht von Kopfdorfer" ( I know very bad - apologies to all my German friends ) ;
but he got through and I had/have a certain affinity for him since.
My initial online monicker was Shyster , but I got stuck remembering passwords for that name ,
and needed a new one for Hyperlobby , so I dredged up old "Kopfdorfer".
I haven't forgotten my password since - not where it mattered , anyway.

A major part of my early life was as a weather tech. I got fascinated with meteorology in high school geography class, and resolved to become a weather observer. Which I did within a couple years of graduation.

Simple explanation.
Z is from my last name - Zimmerman.
Flyer is what I always wanted to be. But, can not due to uncorrectable eye sight. So, I fly sims.
48 is the year I was born.

I think we've had a similar thread way back in the past:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,34255.0.html

But since we've got plenty new members in the meantime, it's a good idea to ask for the nickname meaning again.
In my particular case, my wife Anne is danish and so is my nick.
"Storebror" is "big brother" in danish (and the same in norwegian and swedish) and that's what I am.
Not that I'd be my wife's big brother lol 8)
But digitally I'm just that.

Storebror is as you say big brother. I always believed it was adopted from the Danish writer Sven Hazel. He wrote a series about his days in Waffen SS and one of his main characters was a hooligan huge bloke with nick Storebror.
My nick was always Le0ne from Sergio Leone
Changed it to Lusekofte to get a more Norwegian touch
This is a Lusekofte

Luse is norwegian for lice I kofte is sweater with jacket opening

I was given the monika "Stainless" back in the 90's.

A lot of violence was going on in the pubs and clubs and I was usually working as a doorman and right in the middle of it.

No matter what went on, didn't matter if I was a good boy or a bad boy, didn't matter what weapons appeared, I always came out of it unscathed and never got any trouble from the police.

One night a friend of mine was sat talking to the police and getting a proper telling off , while I sat at the bar having a well deserved pint, when he just yelled at the copper "Why don't you ever pick on him, he's like stainless steel, nothing fecking sticks to him"

And that was that...
