			Liquid Man - Since...the height of KA's School of Hacking I've known Liquid as a hacking peer. He's been at the GSHI as a PSX hacker longer than anyone outside of staff, and is one of the best GS hackers around. At some point he was modded to run the PSX Hacking forum. I noticed he was one of the longest-running GSHI members ever, and one of the most useful, so I offered him an admin slot, and he accepted. He's been doing a lot of graphics work lately, also.


			King Edgar 0 - KE has been around the GSHI since pretty much the beginning. I always intended to offer adminship to him, but never got around to it. During the times I did remember, I decided to hold off as he was busier than even myself with modding at GSCCC, hacking, and life, heh. At some point DS reminded me, and after KE explaining he might not have much time to be around and myself explaining that as long as he contributed every once in a while, it'd be fine, he came aboard. Since that, he's been around more than anyone else, heheh. He's not only a GSHI chat regular, but he's THE GSHI chat regular. He's probably our biggest connection to GSCCC, and is one of our few GBA hackers. And I've known KE longer than I've known Liquid; he was in the scene about two months before I was. He's another of the best around, and his ASM knowledge puts him a cut above most of even the best. He also recently went to the bathroom. OK...just checking if you were reading ;)


			TruWizdom - Tru was a mod for like...a really long time, heh. He was one of the most useful mods, so DS suggested we make him like a supermod that can mod all forums. I took it a tenth of a step further and made him an admin, heh. Tru probably answers more questions at the UBB than everyone else put together, which makes him one of the top two or three useful people there. And...he entertains me in chat, heheh.


			SephiRon - From the beginning, Ron was really into hacking, and would stop at nothing to get everything he needed and learn from the best. This impressed me, as I see that very rarely in a new guy, so when I got my hands on a spare GSPro, I sent it to him, hoping he'd put it to good use. Soon after, I began adding his codes to the GSHI. He's always been around a lot to help out, but when he set up the Backup Board (which we used for a few weeks, and will keep permanently up as a backup), it was the last straw; he was already...effectively staff - it might as well be official. And so it is. And stuff.

	In early 1999, there was a thriving community centered around a handful of people that created codes to modify video games at the RAM level, via peripheral devices such as the GameShark, Pro Action Replay, and GameBuster. Dubbed 'hackers', these people provided codes to their pseudo-underground society, who depended on them for everything from cheats to the downright bizarre; the means of entertainment that just might get them through the work - or school - week. Infinite lives, unlimited ammo, and the ability to skip levels were just the beginning.

	In ~~July~~, ~~1999~~, several video game hackers (including Lazy Bastard, RPGod, CzarDragon, KingEdgar0, and others) were having a discussion at the current center of the video game hacking scene - GSCCC. They were essentially deploring the current situation in the hacking scene, in which hackers were not given proper credit for codes (or sometimes not given credit at all), were overrun by greedy, rude newbies who just wanted the quick fix, and were generally misunderstood and unrecognized for their efforts. In the midst of this conversation, within about three minutes of each other, both Lazy Bastard and RPGod posted roughly the same thing: the solution; an idea that would soon after become the GSHI. Lazy Bastard began to create the site, and RPGod and Ace (then War~Nerve, soon to be Magus, and eventually to become Ace, heh) continued to provide ideas, insight, and the perspective of outside minds as the project took shape, and became the first GSHI administrators (aside from Lazy Bastard). Lazy Bastard went 'door-to-door' as it were, speaking with individual hackers and getting proper permission to add their codes to the new site, until the codes of thirty or forty hackers were up and ready for browsing, in an index by hacker (the index was a list of hackers, each of which could be clicked on to view his/her codes, and there was a guide at the bottom of the list that listed games hacked per hacker). The index was initially only concerned with GameShark codes for the Playstation (PSX), and so it was named the GameShark Hackers Index. It was never meant to serve as a community, but as a record of the feats and endeavors of hackers, to showcase them in a way fitting for someone who put forth such effort for no personal gain (except, perhaps, an ego boost, heh).

			About a year after his unexpected return, CzarDragon fell off the face of the scene. A few months later, Munky became relatively inactive, and HAcKen followed soon after. This was probably due to the harsh effects of the 'Dark Age' of the scene setting in (very little activity in general, limited hacking capabilities on new platforms, division of the hacking scene into too many sub-scenes, commercialization of some sectors of the scene, etc). However, soon after losing those admins to atrophy (heh), GSHI gained DarkSerge, who has been an asset to the team ever since.

			DarkSerge - DS was gone from the scene for a while, and suddenly came back. He hung around the GSHI and the GSCCC for a while, before becoming part of the GSCCC staff. Besides simple posting at the GSHI UBB, we caught each other in irc every few days for a while, and talked about random crap, occasionally helping each other find some useless, but useful, thing, mostly to do with the emu scene. Being that DS is a pretty good hacker, and that I figure he's trustworthy, I decided it'd be cool for him to be part of the GSHI staff. At some point in the whole ordeal, I accidentally gave him adminship. LOL, just kidding. He's been a decisive factor in getting new hosting for the new GSHI UBB, which will be open within a few days, hopefully, and is usually a damn good adviser, when he's not absent-minded from sleep-deprivation...which doesn't matter, because I'm usually about as tired as he is, so I wouldn't notice anyway, heheh. When you're half passing out on your keyboard trying to IM someone in irc, log what you say. You'd be surprised the next morning, LOL.
