Hello. This is Branden, and in the wake of Ibutsu's recent closing, I'd like to thank some people by name who helped greatly in making Ibutsu what it was. This is not to say that others didn't help, it is just that these are the ones that I remember. (These names are roughly in order of how much the person helped, but only roughly.)

Paolo

The most helpful person ever. He did a ton of work for Ibutsu even though he originally just wanted to run the GTO. He ran all the stuff when I was too busy or lazy to, and most helpful is that he organized stuff to help keep me on track.

Spade

Another really helpful person. Spade wanted to be in charge of something, but unfortunately nothing ever came up. :( However, Spade did do a ton of work on the Bickerboard and Deck Reviewer, as well as helping me post articles, links and everything like that.

Pogo of Go

While he wasn't an admin, Ibutsu wouldn't exist without Pogo of Go. Back in the beginning, when Ibutsu sucked, Pogo was the only person to actually tell me anything helpful and make Ibutsu better. So probably most of Ibutsu was based off Pogo's early suggestions.

David Barber

David didn't stick through to the end, but believe me he is worth thanking. It was his original concept for the Deck Reviewer, and only because of him did it exist. He was the sole reviewer from its conception until late September, so he set most of the trends that everyone later on abided by.

Deckard

Deckard gets thanks for being the longest running deck reviewer. Deckard probably had the most decks under his belt, and although he wasn't always nice to the people, he deserves thanks for doing a job that had an amazingly high turn over rate.

Peter

Peter did everything. He was one of the best article writers, he commented all over the site, and he helped review decks. He was also around from the beginning and helped sculpt Ibutsu when something was bad.

Branden Bean

This guy can write! He wrote some the best and most detailed articles for Ibutsu, he provided Ibutsu with card translations, and generally made the article section worth visiting.

Kornkid

Kornkid was the first brave soul to sign up to work on the Bicker Board, and he stuck through until the end. He was kind of rash sometimes, but nothing serious.

PT

PT was another great person who helped out with admin activities, working on the Bickerboard and Deck Reviewer, helping us moderate.

 

Floyd

Floyd was also a great help in moderating Ibutsu. Many thanks.

Dr. Psychic

How can we forget Dr. Psychic? He never got a chance to be an admin, but he was desperately awaiting the arrival of the Ask the Ibu, which unfortunately never arrived. :( However, he did help out quite in other areas a bit despite this.

Matt Nowocynski

Matt was also another great article writer, and we cannot let the thanks slip by him for that.

Isaac Acks

You may not have any idea who this is, but he ran the card store on Ibutsu after Rob stopped. This, of course, was a great help

McSneer

The guy who runs W2news.com... who did reporting about Ibutsu, and who was always the first to try out some new feature.

    This is about who I remember, so if your name isn't on here it means I don't recall you, or I do but you weren't much help :). We had quite a few deck reviewers, and I can't remember all of their names, but thanks goes to them too. Also, all the people like Ty and Struggly and just everyone who used Ibutsu (look at other sections of this site for their names) I have to thank because they are the people who used Ibutsu, and made it popular and high on the top rankings. Thank you everybody.
