Okay. The web team made everything you see here. They made Bungie.net what it is today. So I was wondering how much do you know about the web team?

If the moderators wish to lock this I hold no objection.

DONT post anything about their personal details (life outside of bungie, its not fair on them)

Here's my total knowldge:

Achronos.
Real name: Thomas Gioconda (Hope I spelled it right)
Role: Web development engineer (Old Skool)
Info: Achronos originated from NJ USA and graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in computer science.
The name "Achronos" doesn't actually mean anything.
Achronos played a huge part in making Bungie.net what it is today.

Frankie.
Real name: Francis O' Connor.
Role: Bungie.net editor. (Newbie)
Info: Frankie originated from edinburgh scotland. He joined Bungie late in the Halo 2 development (takes credit for things he did nothing or very little for).

Sketch.
Real name: Brian jarrard.
Role: Community development guy. (Newbie)
Info: Orginates and graduated in Florida.

Dude, Achronos went to Virginia Tech? Get out of here! That's my school. Awesome.

Well, there's also Sawnose and Weresnail. Runningturtle as well.

Sawnose handles the stats page. I'm not sure what Weresnail does, but he's an employee (hence his gold text and "Super-user" status.)

Runningturtle is the other "Primary Programmer" for this site. He and Achronos are the ones who program this site.

Then there's the On-line Team:

*Shishka
*Evil 0tto
*AgdTinman
*Meheve
*Ninja 0n Fire

Also, there's KPaul, who does the Front Page News, and Skiptrace.........who tests the site's effieciency, I guess.

So you work for Bungie, but you don't do anything like the other On-Line Team guys do? That's interesting.

But I thought that 0tto did something along the lines of On-Line Team. Because his character can be seen in the Halo 2 start up cinema, and he has his own Custom Avatar for this Forum.

*edit* Stoshy's gonna be a Super-User?

I never knew Shishka worked for bungie. Wow. I guess because Shiska has white writing. Kind of cool actually speaking with someone from Bungie.

Edit: Thank you for the spelling correction ventcore (sorry Shishka).

I thought Evil 0tto was designing the Halo 3 User Interface.

Wasn't that what KPaul said in one of the humpday news items?

Poor Shishka does anyone ever spell your name right?

I would be scared if all of you drew information off the top of your heads about me like that. Then again, I'm not the fabled Frank O'Connor...

Don't forget the amazing RunningTurtle, the one that pretty much made the Search Feature. Or at least that is what I understood from Achronos.

He does.. and I do remember reading something about it, but I don't remember where. It might have been in the weekly update?

Being in Bungie doesn't file you into the Online Team. The Online Team is the group that designed, developed, and maintain the website, as well as the engineers that are responsible for Halo 2's stats system (the same people, mostly).

Otto, for example, is a UI designer on the dev side.

Gold text or a custom icon isn't given to just people on the online team. The gold text is meant to signify a Bungie employee, but it's entirely optional. The custom avatar is another way for us to make ourselves unique from the rest of the users.

*edit* Stoshy's gonna be a Super-User?

Nope. stosh is in the shoes I wore when I was a graphic designer on the online team. He's still a moderator, and he's a contractor. He'll continue to have white text.

For Stosh's sake, I hope you didn't have smelly feet when you wore them. ;)

He's more of an odd ball. Like a bowl surrounded by soup.
