[[AceUplink]] forum staff. Viewed by many as a tyrant.<br>

'''TDS''' (formerly known as ''DaStompa'') is a former administrator of [[AceUplink]].

Under the name DaStompa, he was a moderator for the official Robot Arena forums. He was eventually permabanned after flooding the forum with goatse. He eventually returned posing as a female. He was banned within a month or so of secretly returning.

He was viewed by many as a tyrant administrator and for several community members served to be a source of problems. Under the name DaStompa he was a moderator for the official Robot Arena forums. He was eventually permabanned after flooding the forum with goatse and allegedly returned while posing as a female. He was banned within a month or so of this return.

His being on the AU staff sparked some controversy later on when [[Towerboy]] made an agreement with [[JFranco]] to have a mutual ban list. To prevent members of one forum from raiding the other, it was decided that everyone banned at AU would be banned at the official forums, and everyone banned at the official forums would be banned at AU. TDS was banned from the official forums twice, yet AU never lived up to their end of the bargain by banning him from there.

His placement within the AceUplink staff sparked controversy when [[Towerboy]] (the lead administrator of the official forums) made an agreement with [[JFranco]] (the owner of AceUplink) to have a mutual ban list. To prevent members of one forum from raiding the other it was decided that everyone banned at AceUplik would be banned at the official forums and vice versa. TDS had been banned from the official forums twice yet AceUplink never lived up to their end of the bargain by mirroring the ban or demoting him.

Developed the [[Ubermod]].

* [[Ubermod]]: A large overhauling of all of the game's stock components to make them more "balanced" and realistic.

* [[Digital Apocalypse]]: Allegedly the very first vertical spinner in Robot Arena 2.

A spinning TDS face is one of the emoticons (:tds:) on the [[RFSHQ]] forums.

Presently, TDS practices airsoft as a hobby with a group called TeamSpartanHelmet. He has gone back to using the name "DaStompa".

Due to his notoriety in the Robot Arena 2 community, TDS and his mannerisms were often the butt of a number of in-jokes at various communities. Below are some examples:

* Members of the [[Advanced Robot Combat]] community created a religious flyer for "TDS-ism" which featured TDS' face with a halo and angel wings and made references to his treatment of forum users.

* His robot [[Digital Apocalypse]] commonly gets tongue-in-cheek references in discussions about vertical spinner designs.
