Forums

ÜberJumper presently has the top number of posts on the Relic Forums. Since 1999, he has averaged over eight posts per day on the discussion board. This number is actually significantly lower than the actual number of posts due to the recreation of the boards on several past occasions. In February 2007 he retired from the forums in an effort to allow Moe to catch up.

ÜberJumper has been the subject of one of Obtuse's moderator interviews. The interview can be found here.

ÜberJumper is part of the unofficial Relic Forums Battlefield 2 group, Company of Heroes. While in game, he is made the squad leader for the group. In addition, he is also one of the top 200 players in terms of Anti-Tank launcher kills.[1] He bills himself as an "A.T. GOD".

His daughter Linnae can be heard in the background on Teamspeak, often approaching to make inquiries about which tank her dad is going to blow up.

Cancer

In 2004, ÜberJumper was treated for life-threatening gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST - a rare sarcoma). Luckily, as of 2006, Über's cancer seems to be in complete remission.[2] His stomach appeared in the scars section of Maxim Magazine, where it looked like a pot roast with orange string.[3]
