do nowadays kids know what xXx means?
I'm not going to tell it tho.
i don't see a problem using XxNamexX or xXnameXx , it looks nice, but i read this:
XxNamexX and Xx_Name_xX *used* to denote hacker and/or noob hacker (a wannabe). (In this case, anyone could use it.) It was a way to stand out and strike "fear" or, rather, let people know that you were a serious hacker or a gamer not to be trifled with.
/Real/ hackers, the kind that really do hack and crack and all that, probably could care less about the Xx xX thing.
Placing wings on your name made you stand out, especially on chat room forums. In the ooollld days, back in the 90s, chat rooms wouldn't allow you to use capital letters. To be able to change your letters (by "hacking"), proved you to be someone of stature. I used to be, among other trillions of names, Xx_InSaNe_EwOk_xX. I would log in and immediately begin getting private messages asking why I would do these horrible things to their computers.
(Truth is, I didn't do anything. I can't hack to save my life. But URL-catching, where you log in, hit "Stop" and then change the username in the URL to capitalize your letters, then hit "Enter" to complete the loading of the chatroom, would make you a hacker. Neato!)
(As for horrible things on computers, it's always easier to blame some stranger while your PC slows to a crawl while downloading automatic updates.)
Okay, I'm writing too much. Finally, Xx xX became a sort of "ambigram" (I'm using the word incorrectly) to make the name look even on both sides. Like Aerosmith's logo, or any black metal band's logo, where logos have to look like Roschach tests for some silly reason.
Eventually, people caught on by placing anything around their names, including clever characters that, strung together, make pretty hearts or whatnot... I think now putting Xs around your name is just goofy and would probably tell me you're a beer guzzling lazy person just trying to look cool.
Gamer, YT - probably they can't
I added "The", because ElinaLTU was looking just boring af.
LTU - Most of Lithuanians games use the LT/LTU to interact. I sav some Latvians using "LV" and Swedish ppl using "SWE"
So yeah. ._.
