    Well in my case I like Black Metal and Death Metal, and have an obsession with The Angel of Death, my sodiac sign its Scorpion... to resume evrithing its DARK.... my nicks always had been related to it.. e.g. Scorpion, BlackScorpion, dArKoR, DarkAngel, Angelo di morte, LeAnGeDiMoRt, Morte, BlackWizard, mOrT, etc.... but since I start Cracking/Patching/Unwrapping Software by myself a few years ago I started to use dArKoR then DarkorH till now officially Darkor Hellruins with my dummy company FireAntSoft. And Avatar it explain for itself...

    Note: look at my signature- The Angel of Death with a message I will live again, as part of you... "by Sephiroth" FFVII <- A fan of it ;)

    It started as a long nickname when I was a kid, then my friends started to say it faster, and faster, and it became shorter , and now they just call me Bosh.

    The avatar is the image of a screw driver, I just like the design :p

    Yes that's true, but torx is a brand of a screw, it's like saying it's wrong to call "car" a "Ford" car ¬¬
