[CSDb] - User Forums - Group id #6156 : Attention wohre

Hmm.. didn't know that. Actually, didn't notice until a few years ago.

Want to share your insights?

Are you implying that Unknow was not on purpose?

What handle(s) did you have and how did you come up with it/them?
I was known as Bagder, which initially was meant to be the animal but somehow I got it all spelled wrong and I left it like this. It made me more unique.

How did you come up with your alias ?
Well, during my earliest days I used the handle D$85 (slightly modified initials with the year of my first 64) but when we created the group Horizon, I wanted a name that could be pronounced more easily ;). I used a dictionary to come up with an idea, and I ended up with this. It is a spelling mistake, but when I found out I just thought of it as a cool feature!

Don't know about Unknow, and obviously didn't know about Bagder either (even though I have a hand written statement from Daniel that he chose the name on purpose, guess stories change).

Unknow easy to explain.
he is a french speaking belgian (a walloon) and their english is just not that good. we all know french speaking people have a hard time speaking/writing english, that's nothing new.
so I'm pretty sure he thought he had it right when he started to call himself unknow, not knowing it's supposed to be unknown.

Or maybe he just wanted to be known as Unknow and not unknown? ;)

Un`know´
v. t. 1.
1. To cease to know; to lose the knowledge of.
2. To fail of knowing; to be ignorant of.

It's a word, totally possible that is the correct spelling.

Unknow's intro texts. a mixture of English, French, Socialism and Craziness were quite entertaining. 8)
