Thanks to all who participated in the first round of

the Guess That Username contest!

A special thanks to @negativer for responding to comments and for being willing to share his deepest darkest secrets, in regards to his username, that is...

Here's @negativer explaining the meaning behind his username:

I've always had a dark streak, even dating well back to high school. When you're a kid, you tend to take things to extreme as you find your path in life, so you want to put your stamp on everything and apply your theme to everything.

For me, it was being 'negative'. Around my last year or two in high school, I discovered heavy metal and goth music, and more extreme music beyond that. Hitting the right chord at the right time was Type O Negative, a goth metal band that hit the mainstream right around 1993 with the album Bloody Kisses. I was a huge fan.

Moreover, the lead singer's name was Peter Steele, and he was tall, had great hair and a strong face, and at the time I wouldn't have minded 'growing up like him'.

Their CD sleeves had their catchphrase inside: None More Negative.

I thought, "What if someone could be more negative? What would they be? They would be...negativer."

And so it began.

Without further ado, the winners are as follows:

- Closest Guess to the actual meaning belongs to @bex-dk!
