something strange and was wondering if any Mods/employees/old members could answer this for me.
I went back to the first page of the Halo 2 Forums and I was reading a thread about the new avatars that were released. At the bottom a member by the name of Shishka, said he was locking the thread because this was already posted in the underground (?).
but that isn't what is strange to me. The strange thing is that "Shishka" did not have moderator status, but instead is just an exalted mythic member. He also has a custom avatar only available to Mods and employees. So does anyone know how this person has this stuff, but is only a member?
-
He's an ex-employee. He's over at 343i now. :-)
-
He used to be a moderator on the site. He also was hired by Bungie to work on their Halo Matchmaking. He has since left Bungie. As time goes on, things change. You witnessed that.
-
Used to be a mod, then employee. He left and works at 343i now. While working at Bungie he managed playlists for Halo 3.
-
Shishka used to be a moderator, but then became a Bungie employee. He was hired by 343 Industries as a multiplayer guy, losing his "powers" here. He's since left there and his current whereabouts are unknown.
-
Shishka used to have moderator powers before he left Bungie and went to 343i. What you're seeing on the site is his profile now as opposed to when he was a moderator. It's like going back to a thread that a former moderator locked and seeing that the user is now a regular member. The site doesn't lock the title of the member when they post. Instead it displays the member's current title.

-
Because he worked for 343i and not Bungie? Many mods have been up and down since that happened.

I don't know if anyone else in this thread has mentioned this yet because I haven't read any other post besides the OP, but Shishka used to be a mod.
-
Its unfortunate you don't know the absurdly awesome horror that was Shishka. Someone needs to archive some of Shishka's better exploits. So the newer users know how it should be done. Obligatory: SHISHKA IS A PEGBOY.
-
Schadenfreude was awesome. Needs to occur again.
-
He went from user, to mod, then employee, then AR start troll, went to 343, and now no one knows / people are thankful he isn't back here. I hope. God, I hope not.
-
Schadenfreude. Shiska taught me that word. I will never forget.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Duardo losing his "powers" here.[/quote] I have a feeling he'll be back. *Shudders*
-
Shiska never talked much.
-
I just got some serious nostalgia. Man I miss the days of hanging with ma bois
-
Too busy making videos now.

We need something more precise. We need better examples. I can only think of Schadenfreude, Skiska u got it gud, and some of his general behavior, but no actual examples or links. We need an archive. We also need one for Frankie, Urk, and a few others. Even you Foamy.

Damn you Ninjas! Always hijacking threads!

Strange that it's been so long that people don't even know who Shishka is. I still have that guy's autograph.

Shishka was awesome. He trolled my friends and I in a game of Uno on Xbox LIVE one time. We were playing with 3 slots filled and one bot, then he takes the bot's place and starts ranting about having "OVER 9000 Microsoft Points!!!!" I think he was drunk.

Lord British was someone users feared. He was cold, ruthless, and grew seven thousand arms just to wield more banhammers. If the Soul is the MCP, then Shishka was his Sark.
