The sexy secrets behind NPF's Usernames

I believe I've told this story before, but here we go again.

Way back in those dark days, an age were words were just beginning to form, numbers were confused with letters and wild battle.nets roamed free.

I was but a wee lad of 12, exposed to the full wild glory of the internets for the first time after escaping the dark dungeons of AOL. I'm ashamed to admit it but I was overwhelmed by the freedom, my feeble senses were not prepared to absorb that much stimuli at the same time. It was in this state I began to idolize the concept of hackers, to me they were the wizards of the digital world. Breaking not just the rules of society, but the fundamental laws of (digital) nature.

And so the concept of 'Hack Mage' was born, a sorcerer of nearly unlimited power in the digital landscape, ready to destroy any barriers that stood in his way. Of course it was the dark days of 'leet speak' the 'Hack Mage' became 'h4x.m4g3'.

And thus my tale began.
