I am not gonna be original, but recently I read last year's thread. I have no idea why you wouldn't choose

HECKLER
or
RK4YALM (my fav)

Both are available.

Okay, there's quite a few so far- thanks guys... let's go through them, in the order they were posted (If I said no to something you suggested, please try something else- it's not personal):

VAPORWR - I actually like Anarchy Online, so yes I'll reject anything disparaging
WTBOST4HECKS - Obviously too long
SOONTM - This has been kicking around for a while - I'd prefer positive reinforcement
CABBAGE - Not AO enough
IBTL - None of my plate threads have been locked though
******* - I'll reject anything disparaging
BEHEPLX - I'd go with BEHEPLZ or BEHEPLS if I had the ch... Oh wait- Silly me, I DO have the choice. But I'm gonna go with a different one Soapy submitted...
NE1LFT - too vague
MEDSUIT - Meh... There are better ideas
NUBDUEL - i don't want to have to explain that it's not about midget wrestling.
IZZGIMR - I'll go with IZGIMMR (As "Izgimmer" doesn't have two Zs), but give credit to you for it
CUM2BOR - Um, no... I doubt they'd allow it anyway.
IHAZBOC - But I don't, actually (probably the oldest veteran player without a BOC)
NERFGTH - For those that don't know AO, I think people might think I'm promoting Nerf-brand products
CMPLZ - Meh... There are better plates
AMIRITE - Not AO enough
HAILMS - Have no idea what this means
CARBPLS - There are better plates
YALMAHA - I wish, but I've explained why I won't
E-GINA/EGINA - no
E-PEEN/EPEEN - no
EPEENOR - and again, no
NERFME - too vague, and as said above, I think people might think I'm promoting Nerf-brand products
RK1RK2 - I can see it... but if an AO player saw my car driving down the street, would they say "Hey- he's a fellow AO player", or would they say "I wonder if he knows what that means to me?"
RN2LEFT - I see "Run to left" but have no idea what that has to do with AO.
REROLL - too vague- could be any MMORPG
SQSHYNT - I get it- "Squishy NT". But nah
LFMPST - too vague- could be any MMORPG
ELYKITE - Possibly
KODAIK - There's better out there
FLLAUTO - Not AO enough
RECLAIM - Not AO enough
NOTUM - Yes
PINETTI - - too vague- could mean anything
NULLITY - Yes
TABQAFK - Small problem- I'm an NT- I can't tab, q, /afk
LFTZDED - Not AO enough
NOPOCKT - Don't even know what this is supposed to mean
COHBOX - Meh...
ALIUMZ - I suppose... The grammar nazi within is champing at the bit but
GSPFTW, GSPRULZ, GSP4LIF and GRDSTRM - If I were a GSP dancer, maybe
HATPLZ - Not AO-specific enough
NERFEST - Not AO-specific enough
AFK-BRB - Not AO-specific enough
OSB-PLZ - Outside Buff?
REZZING - Other MMOs have their versions of "resurrection shock" don't they?
XAN-HUB - yes
REPERK - Not specific enough to AO
TWINK - Not AO-specific enough
TWINKED - Not AO-specific enough
OET-CO - Dunno about this- I mean to explain it is easy- "It's the name of a company that makes firearms in Anarchy Online", but as an NT, I don't actually use one, so why would I bother to promote the name?
YUTTO / YUTTOS - Kinda bleh, aren't they? I mean, when you think Anarchy Online, does "OH YEAH! GO GO YUTTOS!" just pop into your head?
FXRGRID - I'd move the I over so it says "FIXRGRD", but then I'm not a Fixer either
RK4YALM - This was Means' donation last year, I liked it
OFAB - Would this say to someone "Hey! He plays AO!"... ? I'm thinking probably not.
MANTA - Nah- never bought one
MANAAV - see above
THE-MID - Nah- never bought one
KYROZCH - Yes
JOBE - I don't want some bible thumper giving me crap for spelling Job (as in the "Book of Job") wrong
LEETPIE - nah
+131PLS -
HSRARMS - see OET-CO above
ICCARMS - see OET-CO above
OTEK - see OET-CO above
PIETROX - I don't even know what this means to even try to explain it
NERFED - Not AO-specific enough
PWNED - Not AO-specific enough
OWNED - Not AO-specific enough
MOCHAMS - I'd say yes if I was an MP
BUFFPLZ - Not AO-specific enough
PNH-IOR - Yes
GSF-PLZ - I haven't had GSF cast on me in a dog's age
HECKLER - Don't want to have to explain that I'm not heckling anyone
TRIPPOL - Sorry, but when I see people spelling "triple" with two 'p's it makes my teeth itch.
LENUKE - Not bad, but I fear the user of the word "NUKE" might be rejected on the grounds that it's too politically charged.
IAMOP - I'm mop?
REBLNCE - sounds like a brand name of recycled sneakers, unfortunately
CREDSPLZ - too long
LOLPWNT - Not AO-specific enough
LEETZILA - one letter too many... and I don't think you can remove a letter from that very well- LETZILA? LEETZLA?
FLAGGED - Not AO-specific enough
SIDEXPO - Unfortunately it will probably be seen as "Sid Expo", and I don't want to have to explain that
ROLLRAT - Don't want to have to explain that to a non-AO player either
INFMISH - I haven't done an inferno mission in years
ADOHEKS - Nor adonis hecklers either
ROMERED - Not AO enough- Probably be seen as an ad for Showtime's Spartacus: Vengeance
DYNABOS - it's too bad I can't get one more letter for DYNABOSS

The list is filling in nicely...

I have no idea why you wouldn't choose...HECKLER/RK4YALM

I didn't choose HECKLER because it means more than "Type of monster in AO".

I remember a number of years ago a friend and I were just out driving and ended up at the Canadian border... we almost were turned away because his license plate was "-XTC-"; The border guard didn't know XTC was the name of a band (and thought my friend was promoting "ecstasy" use or sale- not the best first impression one wants to have crossing the border into another country).

I'd just hate to go to a concert and get told to leave because of my license plate... I doubt it would happen, but I've heard of people getting into trouble for other retarded B.S. reasons- like this cancer survivor getting suspended from school for growing his hair long for other cancer victims.

... and the reason I didn't go with RK4YALM at the time was I didn't want to seem like I was showing favoritism to the game director... I did like it (and still do) So I'm keeping it this year- Anyone who has played AO for a while should recognize What both "RK4" and "Yalm" mean.

There's still a few more weeks to submit plate ideas... please keep them coming!
