I just hate it when i try to register at some site and notice my name is already taken.. i really HATE the fact that esteel over at http://www.deviantart.com is not me.. had i only been 3 weeks faster.. I do not really mind myspace or youtube but they are also already taken :)
So tell me what classic or cool sites you think one should be registered at?
For example:
http://slashdot.org , http://www.esreality.com , http://www.quakesrc.org , http://own-age.com , http://wikipedia.org , http://www.everything2.com , http://digg.com , http://inquake.de , http://quake.de , http://moddb.com
*edit* commas are evil :) Now the links should work..

Ok, here's a whole list of all websites where I'm registered with my current one and only nick:

and of course ebay & amazon... and now I'll have a look at the sites you posted, I didn't know any one of them besides slashdot and wikipedia.

Hmm esteel@googlemail.com is already used :( I think i have a problem with popular, noncomputer related sites.. gmail, myspace, youtube, some lottery site, some job site.. name already in use.. meh..

Chefkoch could be useful after i renovated my kitchen.. a bursted pipe in the kitchen above mine created quite some chaos :).
At first look i though minigal was some pron forum until i realized it has a serious spam problem..
EBay? Never used it sofar.

What I hate is when I know that it was me who signed up under a particular username, but that I can't remember the password or email address I used to sign up with.

My username is fairly unique. It's me everywhere except for King.com and http://wiadomosci.wp.pl.

Or at least that's what google says.....

I never needed to use another nick anywhere :D I was going to refer to 'google tZork' however i did and it gave me lots of "unrelated" resuslts (it dident a few months ago, at least not among the top hits)

The #1 hit is on-target tho ;P
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it? :D
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.

Recently there's finally a cheapalert impostor at a console game board who tried to use my email and it needed activation. Of course since I didn't register, I didn't activate.

wierd.
