Ok- dos mas, since we seem to have hit a lull. If anyone doesn't like mine, I apologize- I started with the people I felt the most comfortable doing, and we've now reached the stage where I'm less sure of what to write. If I have misremembered something, or misquoted, please let me know.
Pikeyboy- Pikeyboy lives in the UK, and has a mindset that is wholly unique in my circle of acquaintances, both IRL and online. He's extremely connected to the land, and nature, and is a staunch supporter of animal rights, human rights and environmental protection. He seems to have a great deal of knowledge and experience in actually living off the land, in terms of hunting small game, gardening and knowing what edible plants grow naturally.
What strikes me about Pikey, is that he seems to have a sense of community and obligation to other people that is almost entirely absent in this day where most people don't even know their next door neighbors. He has said that if anyone came to his door with nothing, he'd let them in, feed them and make sure they had bus fare home, which is much more than most people can say. It seems that his stance on larger issues is just an extension of this idea that we all have a responsibility to make sure that our neighbors and community is provided for. We may not always agree on what will work, and what measures should be taken, when it comes to economic and social issues, but I'm pretty sure that he is a better and much more unselfish person than I will ever be.
Azazel- Azazel likes to shock us into laughing. Very few topics are taboo for him, and he seems to enjoy riling up the Recycle Bin with his off-color comments. For a time, the jokes were about goats and pedobear, but now that those have lost their edge he's moved on to other genres. For all he likes to play the jester, however, he is still a real part of the community and will get into heated debate just like the rest of us when a topic comes up that he feels strongly about. He also will stand up for members of OT who he is friendly with when he feels that they're being slighted or discriminated against, and very vocally.

Sweet write-ups Elhonna.
I can improve a bit on Pezz's too... He seems to have knowledge of every field, with one poster commenting that he seems to have studied everything . One could even say that he dispenses knowledge!
Magician is one of the older posters (being a father of two) and a poster that delves into the arcane, but he's never afraid of sticking to his guns... Just like his awesome tattoo! Can be found debating without hating.
Again, by no means comprehensive... Please feel free to fill in gaps!

I'll do a write-up for someone if I can, and then I'll cross my fingers and hope that anyone actually knows me enough to do one on me.
I'm mostly a lurker, however, so I don't even know if I qualify.

British, a brony and recklessly abusive. But wait, there's actually a caring person deep down there, someone who likes RP, J-RPGs, debate, social interaction - and
maybe, somewhere, a tiny, carefully hidden core of warmth
. Maybe.
'TIS A LIE. I'm not a brony (using a Princess Luna quote, hush. I just irrationally hate the term of brony). >.> But I kind of like the 'recklessly abusive' part. <3 That's just a nice way of saying I'm a %^&*, which is true.

Hmm this thing seems oddly similar to the old "let's make a group of not-really-moderators to moderate off-topic that led to them splintering off to make their own site. Weren't you an instigator of that before MyTie? I really don't think there needs to be a "whos who of the off topic board" but so be it.

They don't have any authority to moderate and they aren't excluding people (you should be here, as you do post a lot) so I'm OK with it. If it ends up becoming an exclusive club, then I'll worry. Right now I think it's a cool community building activity.

Yeah...(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Yeah... no. It wouldn't be okay to say that on Wowhead so it's also not okay to link a youtube video to say it for you.

I agree. I would worry if any of the things became negative or at someone's expense but as long as it's positive ( I don't mean saccharin sweet, just positive) I think it's a nice thing to do.

Indeed. Back then, Randomness wasn't moderated nearly as well as it is these days. *coughcoughwink*(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##*winkwinkcough*

I wouldn't say you were unselfish!
Ouch. So much for playing nice.

I beg to differ!
I strongly agree with mister Sinespe here.

I love this thread, had a blast reading it lol. Elhonna, all of yours were spot on., and therefore I declare you the winner of this thread! I hate you all for writing nothing about me, just saying. But that's okay.
I'll make a contribution myself, and more if I find the time:
Funden
, once the High Dictator of Soviet Randomness, now reduced to one of Off-topic's resident
cynics
, is a nice guy. And he likes the right things, too. Like Warhammer 40k, which he (more or less) introduced me to when I first came to the forums. If you can't find him in the Bin or somewhere else in Off-topic, he is most likely hanging out in Lore&Roleplaying, where he runs and participates in a multitude of RPs.
Funden isn't a guy that's afraid to participate in debates, or one that's afraid to stand up for his beliefs, religious (especially in a forum where religious people are treated with varying amounts of hostility and/or condescendance) or otherwise, and I feel that makes him a very valuable addition to any discussion, and the forum as a whole.

I was gonna write something about you OZ, but I'm not super great at picking peoples personalities from forum posts. Most of my appraisal of Thror was from what I've learnt of him in FB chat.

I tried a few times to write something about you but it either sounded too grim or too much like I love you. >_>
(Speaking of Donny now, sorry OZ :B )

Lucky Funden and Rankkorr did it for you then. :P

OverZealous
is a professional swimmer from Sweden's north, who one day hopes to compete in the Olympics (I assume). He has a sarcastic sense of humour which I like. He also looks like Bart Simpson.
Someone else can feel free to flesh this out.
