-Craaig joined the forums in March 2009, and describes himself as a 'generally happy guy'. He is quite well known as a [[VS]] Specialist. Likes to think of himself as a mild-tempered, generally good community member, helping out wherever possible.
-In August 2013 he was promoted from Advanced User to Veteran, and was also given a Tournament Moderator position on the staff. He became a Global Moderator in May 2014, along with [[Thyrus (User)|Thyrus]].
-He has run many different tournaments, including the Rust In Pieces series where he is ranked 6th, while he has also won the [[BTRSHDBBDDTBL]] awards in [[BBEANS|BBEANS6]] and RA2TC, was the Grand Champion of IRL Tourney and runner up of Our Replicas Are Different.
-Craaig has released RIPAI (an AI pack of Rust in Pieces bots up to RIP2), PokAImon (an AI pack containing Pokemon replicas and music, used in Pokemon: The League Of Getehem) and Robot Wars 2005 AI (An AI pack containing bots from the tournament of the same name).
-----
-'''Tournament Running'''
-Craaig run a DSL MW tournament, [[Rust In Pieces]], mainly due to the lack of DSL tournaments taking place at the time. It had 22 competitors, and was won by [[Pwnator]]'s Paper Cut 3.
-He also hosted the Not Overly Epic Showdown, [[Sparkey98|Sparkey]] vs [[LRA2|Avalanche]], to find out who would win. In the end, Avalanche won all 3 matches.
-The follow-up to Rust In Pieces, Rust In Pieces 2, was a DSL SHW tournament with 16 competitors. [[yoda9726]]'s Gluttony won the main bracket, while [[Naryar]]'s Shiva won the Loser's Bracket.
-Craaig also run [[RIMP]] - mainly made of various grudge matches and challenges for all RIP1 and RIP2 bots, much like a 'Robot Wars Extreme' style tournament. The phrase RIMP was turned into a GTM Meme by [[yoda9726]], closely followed by [[Naryar]] and is fairly common over many of Craaig's topics.
-Craaig run [[Pokemon: The League Of Getehem]], a DSL HW tournament for Pokemon replicas, won by Naryar's Aerodactyl replica.
-From 2012-13, he run RIP3, the 3rd in the Rust In Pieces series, a DSL MW/LW Cluster tournament with 21 entries. This was won by [[ty4er]].
-During 2013-14, he ran Robot Wars 2005, an IRL DSL tournament based on what robots could look like if Robot Wars continued for another series. This tournament was the first to feature an 'IRL Vote' where competitors had points added/deducted for how IRL they look, meaning the actual Tournament placements do not necessarily equate to the end standings. The tournament was won by [[Badnik96]].
-His last DSL tournament project was Centripetal Force (Sometimes stylized as 'centRIPetal force') which is a DSL HW tournament allowing only a few bot types, the core of which are spinners. This was completed in 10 days and was won by [[Martymidget]].
-RIP4 was run in mid 2014 as the first [[Ironforge]] tournament. [[Mr AS]] won this.

-'''Bot Building'''
-He tends not to showcase all too much any more, often only building for tournaments.
-'''Stock:'''
-Craaig doesn't tend to build in stock at all any more, but once showcased a Complex [[FS]], the first Craaig (and many others) had seen.
-'''DSL:'''
