I am a creature of the internet.... Actually the name came from a chan probe on this site way back when it first came about. I was getting tired of spamming and trolling Gaia and Yahoo (not really, that's still fun!). There was a probe list on what was the /i boards, and I checked out this one. Picked a suitably channer name, Longcat was already taken, so I went with ~~LOOOOOOONGCAT~~ and eventually shortened it down to ~LONGCAT~
