Back in the early/mid 90's I was into swimming. Lifeguarded, swim club, swim instructor, pool manager. When I found the internet and needed a 'nic' I just went through different water things and since I was always around the pool and pool loser popped in and wa-la! .....poolzer

Yeah, Saviour Sorrow is kinda boring for me, Waylon is a great singer as well (I actually love 3 Quarters Dead, the band he left for MRH), but obviously he cant replace Jmann :( .
Pitch Black Forecast made an awesome record. I also like (216), State Of Conviction, In Cold Blood and even some songs off the 'Alter Boys' project :) :P

Unforgiven, is for me a part off a lost I hade.........(no details I will write down here)

The song and the word are a part for me to let the past never rest and always remember what happens, and I use it in times when I have tears and sadness of the lost I hade.


The Avatar is chosen , the BOYZ give me support with there music and they look true the coffin to the one I lost............


They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please then all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win

Nickname is COTIS, my real name is Cody. Kid misunderstood me in elementary school and thought I said CODE-IS. Shortened it up to Cotis and it has stuck ever since. I see him once in awhile and he always reminds me he is responsible for my name.

Avatar is Axl Rose, lead singer of GNR -- my favorite band.

Pretty cool topic B)

My username, pretty obvious. A huge Slayer fan and love the Hell Awaits album, and 77 has been my (American) football # since I was in 10th grade.

My sig (it's not here, I have to put it back up), is a design I thought of and Spawn Of Chtulu made w/ some ideas added. The "Hell Awaits" background, w/ different logos/designs of some of my favorite bands.

My avatar is of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in Dumb & Dumber. I love that movie, and the suits they are wearing are a riot.

My custom title "The Cameras are Whores for the Daily Bloodshed", is a quote from the Slayer song 'Flesh Storm'. It's a great quote because it's true. For the most part, all you ever see on the news and in the papers are things having to do w/ violence. The war in Iraq, the situation w/ China and North Korea, the many rapes, murders and assaults that occur every day all over the world, etc. It's a shame, but it's true.

My nickname comes from when I played high school football. My coach wasn't the brightest guy and couldn't pronounce most of our last names so he called us whatever he could remember / say. I'm originally from Colorado, so that's what he called me. Before games, I always listened to Iron Maiden, once he said something along eh lines of "what's up with Maiden, Colorado?" One of my teammates thought he called me MaidenColorado and it stuck from there.

My avatar is the logo I use on all of my recordings, the state flag from Colorado with an Eddie head included.

My sig gives a link to my YouTube page and my trade site, as well as pointing out that I'm no longer trading. Exciting, I know..

Great read, interesting to see the personal attachments some of you have to items you've included. Paul, as others have said, glad you beat the devil that haunted you. It is a tough fight, but one that is well worth winning, and I'm very glad that you did.

Props on the Mushroomhead! Very underrated band, and have had to deal with the 'ripping off Slipknot' thing if anyone ever sees them - even though really THEY came first. And have hung around this long and had some success all without Roadrunner swinging off their nuts!


My current avatar is of Rik Mayall as Adonis Cnut from the short lived show 'Believe Nothing'. My title is part of that show's tagline: "Rik Mayall is A. Cnut"
Amusing for obvious reasons... ;)


My sig is a quote from Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder, one of my favourite shows of all time and something I grew up on. I'm shattered I can't remember specifically where it's from, but I believe it's a modified quote from the special "Blackadder Back and Forth"


I normally alternate between Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, and Believe Nothing avatars as I really do look down on you all and have similar expressions while reading your posts........kidding! Well maybe sometimes :P


My username is because Fade To Black and variations thereof were in use in 2003, and it was one of my favourite songs at the time, also this was really my first fulltime outing into online posting so i couldn't really come up with anything creative ;) I think it's turned out alright though...

My nick is coming from my military service. At the army we all called on last name and mine is Hristoforov (for short is fori) and from there forka. Around year 2000, when I try to register at some sites forka was taken, so I decided to add 2k as from year 2000 in short :) And you get forka2k :D

My avatar is picture of James Hetfiled (you may heard of him) I scan it from a local magazine many years ago and from then it is my avatar everywhere :)

Here is the original picture:

My signature is from a song named Nothing Else Matters ;) and I think these words are very powerful.
