I've always wanted to know... is it pronounced "smi - luh - tron" or "smile - tron?"

smile-tron

Back in the day most ppl on the scene had pretentious names like Obliterator and Suffocator and such, so a friend and I decided to pick the silliest nicknames we could come up with based on our real names. My name is ilija, hence iLKke (seemed silly at the time, we were pretty high). Double K is a nod to Finland, THE demoscene country.
Capitalization is to differentiate I from l big_smile

Nah

I wanted to unleash dread and despair on forum coders.

haha

Its my real name... at least I think it is. OH MY GOD WHO AM I?!

Real names Samuel and i just took the vowels out.

I got mine in a moment of epiphany after visiting a broken forum while browsing the web for things related to that roguelike IVAN. The page consisted of a bunch of code, followed by a gap, followed by more code. And in the middle, basked in glowing whiteness, the words 'Cesque does not exist.' I found this quite poignant, and adopted it. Later I found out that Cesque was a user on the forums, and I stole his name... sorry!

It sounds French but means nothing at all, and also looks nice backwards: euqsec!

Cesque la vie!

Je M'appelle is French for "My name is", so it's kind of ironic.
