-Craaig joined the forums in March 2009. 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]].
-Awarded Most Likely to Stay On Topic, GTM's Favourite Ironforge Builder and GTM's Favourite Staff Member in the 2014 and 2015 GTM Awards, and Kindest and Friendliest in the 2013 and 2015 Awards.
-He has run many different tournaments, including the Rust In Pieces series where he is ranked 6th.
-Won the [[BTRSHDBBDDTBL]] awards in [[BBEANS|BBEANS6]] and RA2TC, was the Grand Champion of IRL Tourney and came 2nd in Our Replicas Are Different.
-Craaig has released several AI packs: RIPAI, PokAImon and Robot Wars 2005 AI. He has also done work for [[Ironforge]] and rather more significant work for the [[Robot Wars RA2 Mod]].
-Is more often than not busy with real robot projects with his teams Snappy Robots and Team Nebula (who currently own and run heavyweight competitor Neutron).

-'''Tournament Running'''
-#[[Rust In Pieces]], a DSL MW tournament, was run 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. After this, the 'Not Overly Epic Showdown' ([[Sparkey98|Sparkey]] vs [[LRA2|Avalanche]]) occurred as a grudge match series. In the end, Avalanche won all 3 matches.
-#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.
-#[[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.
-#[[Pokemon: The League Of Getehem]], a DSL HW tournament for Pokemon replicas, won by Naryar's Aerodactyl replica.
-#RIP3 (2012-2013), a DSL MW/LW Cluster tournament with 21 entries. This was won by [[ty4er]].
-#Robot Wars 2005 (2013-2014), 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]].
-#Centripetal Force (Sometimes stylized as 'centRIPetal force'), which was 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.
-#Bottallica, an IRL Ironforge tournament, was run after RIP4. Won by [[090901]]
-#[[GTM Robot Wars]], an IRL DSL 2.2 tournament, run in late 2016, featuring House Robots, a new arena and high production values.
