Notice: this is by no means the self-evident truth of the incidents at hand, only the author's representation


Everyone is always curious about how moderators come up with their whacky, tweaked out names, well laides and gents, I've come to solve this issue.

Let's start with SketchFactor. What do you know about this person? Well for one he likes to draw, but do you know why? Well, let me tell you. It all started in 1990 when Sketch was visiting Chernobyl. During his visit SketchFactor would get increasingly close to the radioactive 'left-overs' from the Accident. At certain times he'd even stuff a handful of it in his mouth and yell, "IT'S FREE AND IT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN!!' while bystanders (by bystanders I mean those over a mile away) watched him with disdain. Eventually, this started to get to Sketch, who at the time was really called 'Greg' for short. The increasingly toxic levels were inherently fragmenting Greg's brain to the point where he saw nothing but the most spectacular array of lights any person could possibly imagine. This led Greg to draw for a living. In which case he received the first part of his name, Sketch. Well, Sketch wasn't finished just yet, he was trying to figure out a way to make a even cooler and more obsecure name, until one day he was hanging upside down with his rabid monkies and landed on his head. He shouted, "OH WOW THERE ARE SO MANY PRETTY COLORS, THEY ALL FACTOR IN!" In which case, he finally received his name.

Moving on to Shishka. Growing up Shishka had a fetish for dead cats and fat babies. He'd constantly badger his mother to 'run over that cat' that was in the street, sometimes winning and going to pick it up off the pavement to wear as a hat. Sometimes he'd run around yelling, "I AM CATMAN FEED ME OR SMELL LIKE DEAD CAT FETUS!" They promptly fed him. Where does this lead you ask? I will tell you. One day, while roaming in France (he heard a rumor that cat was a dilectable there) he came upon the idea that he might just be able to make a cat shishkabob. Being haunted with this idea he came up with many names for it, cat-on-a-stick, shishkacatbob, etc. He finally settled on Shishka-mo-catenhagen. Which in plain English means, 'Cat in a hat". Well, Shishka-mo-catengagen became increasingly popular on the Bungie.net forums and eventually had to shorten his name to something professional. So we get, Shishka. An extremely professional name.

Yet, we have one more to go. Our belived Stosh. Looking at stosh, there really isn't much to say but you know what he was when he was growing up? One of those annoyingi Osh B Gosh kids who couldn't speak English correctly. Inherently they always added those 'sh' and 'ch' and OSH! to every word in the English language. Well, stosh's English problems were hereditary, so he wasn't alone. Whenever he tried to say OSH B GOSH! He would delightfully yell, STOSH B GOSH! Like he couldn't form the words in his lips. Eventually, his mother gave him this nickname because of his bad English abilities. To this day he hasn't lost the name, and his daunting English problems still loom over his head, once in a while.


This is a tribute to our moderators with great names, and even more mysterious personas.

I'm going to get banned for this post. But it was well worth it.

On a side note, these are the side effects of working.

And, Obbi, oh baby ;) haha.

AHAHA. I just finished reading it (I left once I got to the phrase "cat fetus") and loved the Stosh part. Osh B.. Whatever it is. I cannot think now. I've got to go to sleep.

My real name is Stanton Hill Steward. Stosh is the shorthand version of Stanton or Stan in poland. I've also been told it means fat kid or something like that. I was a fat baby.

Yea, my entire name is last names. Stanton was given to me because I'm related to Elizabeth Stanton and Hill is my mothers maiden name. My name is so girly.

Cute story, however, I've no love for the taste of cat. My name was given to me at my birth as part of a ritual of the Clan of Shi. My twin sister was given a similar name, Shiska. As is the way of our clan, her children and mine will both be given names fitting of the Clan of Shi, and then spend their lives training in the art of the shadows.

Better than being called the Spawn of Satan by your old minister at church group (I kid you not).

By the way stosh, my full name is Christopher Alan George, three FIRST names. Go figure.

Shishka: I was just overly tired and felt like being facitious. Well, partially because I can. But I still like both stories :-p

What? This is the weirdest thing I have ever heard Shishka say.


What would happen if a mod tried to edit another mod's post? Would it work?

Abolitionofman, don't worry we have a good sense of humor. But what about Achronos or Makaveli? Where did they come from?

Actuly Shishka you can find out your real name on one of the pics on your website its down at the bottom. You might want to get that fixed, nice try though ;)

Shishka,,, no he was a follower in the santa's ways,he loved santa, but mostly mostly rudolf, and reindeer, but he is hawaiin, where r (for Rudolf) is non existent in the alphabet. So his name couldn't have an r.HE got frustrated, so he was grumpy. He also used to take care of Donner, Dixon, Prancer, and Dancer, Comit,Cupid, And Blitzen also. One day the raindeer revolted and hurt him, so, he left in a puff, vowing his name wouldn't ever have a c,d, b,r,p, in it. His hawaiin self loved to do the dance, which he was very skilled at and practiced every day of his life, the shishka-uhand-redpic, but, all of the rest of the dance name had the forbidden letters.So he stuck with shishka
