Oh I loved Stripes, probably watched it 50 times. 

No Oaktree came from Tideisturning. He used to have a picture of a lighthouse and when he explained what it meant I wanted something that meant something. To me an Oak represents hope because you get a massive oak from a tiny acorn. I just added tree because I thought noone would have that name. I used to go by another name

Lets see if I can remember what this thread is called.

What does your forums' name mean? 

This is a cool thread.

Oh okay. It was just that Bill Murray makes the same statement about an acorn becoming a mighty oak in that scene.

Oh I didn’t even realise that! True?

You will find my post on page 19 of that thread

I might have to rewatch Stripes

@Oaktree  that looks like a cool thread.  I just wish I put more thought into my name.  I have thought about it a bit.  I thought Starman would be a good one.  Ive always loves space and astronomy ever since I can remember.  Thats why my avatar picture is a boy looking up at stars.  And why my favorite saying is "When it is dark, look for stars.  When it rains, look for rainbows"  but i just really like the first part.

You should change your username and just let your forum friends know. I used my previous name probably for more than 2 years but it wasn’t really very anonymous. That’s also why I changed it. You just have to email sane at team@saneforums.org

“I have a massive potential for growth, I am the tiny acorn that becomes the massive oak!”

Yes let’s just say I got my username from Stripes lol. Maybe subconsciously anyway…
