How did you come up with your username?

I’ll go first, it’s simple, the Internet is literally an open field where anyone can do whatever they want.

It's just a shortened version of my name. Mine comes from elementary school. One of my classes had 3 Max in them as the name was really popular for my generation. So we just started using Max-X where X is the initial of the last name.

It has stuck since.
