The Staff
Have you ever wondered who the crazy idiots are behind this forum? No? Well, even if you don't care who we are, then you can hopefully have a laugh at our expense. This post features current staff members of Brick Ideas, as well as former staffers and contributors.
Current Staff
krisandkris
Krisandkris is the founder and lead admin of our forum. Commonly just called Kris, we're not sure if the second part of his username refers to an evil clone. He deals with all of the real design work on the forum, from the logo to the code behind this ridiculous post, as well as anything the rest of the staff break.When he's not keeping an evil clone or the rest of the staff in line, Kris enjoys building big Star Wars ships.
saabfan
Saabfan, who has never actually built a Saab out of Lego to this date, is one of the early members of the forum. With very basic coding skills he's not the guy to consult in terms of forum infrastructure. However he's happy to give you advice about building and Lego Ideas. Whether that advice is actually useful remains a mystery. When he's not giving advice, he walks around the forum with a cape and lords over everyone (Including the rest of the staff) because he has designed an official Lego set. And no, he won't share the life size version of his set either (We tried).
Umbra-Manis
Umbra-Manis, often simply referred to as Umbra, is the one responsible for all of those articles you never knew you were needed, that are still kind of unnecessary. (But don't tell him we said that) When he's not writing all of these articles you'll find him Brainstorming more crazy Ideas, and procrastinating on doing pretty much anything. Given all of this we're still not sure if he's a real person, or a really old and slow computer. The avatar isn't helping us either, as we can't tell what that thing is. However one thing we can say is that he is keeping the other staff members busy using his purple Katana.
Joshua O.
Josh is likely the least code-savvy staff members. It’s obvious from looking at his Instagram that he loves his retired police cruiser, and he’s repeatedly sworn allegiance to Darth Revan up and down the Internet. However, rumor has it he might be a troll of the highest order. . .
Former Staff
VAkkron
VAkkron (Short for Verticus Akron), often called Vert, was a key part of the forum during it's early development stage. He's not currently around due to other commitments, (And possibly our procrastination) but we hope he'll be able to come back soon.
Blackdragon1661
Blackdragon was another member of the staff during our early days, and he wrote some of our tutorials (Such as the UCS sticker one). He had to step down due to personal commitments, but hopefully he'll come back soon.
