UTM Regulars
One would think the regulars are a bunch of computer science geeks, but we're just regular geeks. And (just a fair warning) many a troll (and "txt-spkr") has met their doom at the hands of certain UTM regulars.

bigjack126
Known as "liljack" or "bj". Even though he is 6 foot 3 inches, 270 lbs. (most of it muscle, mind you) He lives in Texas. Discovered how awesome chat was when he finally came to the UTM. Is into Rock and Metal. Metallica, Red, and Avenged Sevenfold are among his top ten. Despite being on the other side of the United States, he is xXEvermoreXx's "big brother". One of a handful of Christians in the UTM, which is sometimes a source of conflict with other regulars. Works as a gravedigger, but may end up doing something else after college.

ChrisWar666
Welshman living in Brasil. Chivalrous Pervert type and gets along with pretty much all of the older regulars.

Likes the ladies, and teaches English. Is also fluent in Portuguese.

cman456100
16 year old American male who lives in America. One of the youngest in the UTM. It's believed that he is schizotypal. He's the resident Brony and is proud. The opinions of others don't matter to him. He will stand up for his friends in a heartbeat, and will not be deterred. Goes by the names Doc, DoctorOMalley, Chris, cman, and Derpy. He arrived in the UTM after Entropic Delirium's 'war' and has stayed. Has recently returned from a hiatus; and is making himself known again. Likes: Sonata Arctica (Band); Halo; MW2; Skyrim; Kongregate. Dislikes: Trolls; people; the fact that Netflix removed Death Note and Halo: Legends

Corinite
Is a well-meaning guy, who doesn't like others being mistreated and will stand up for them when necessary. Arrived in UTM on the heels of shimmerspirit, and has stuck around ever since. (Knew shimmer, & Staz, & DBscotsdragon previously; being particularly close friends with shimmer and one of the few people able to comprehend her at her less coherent times) Appears to have some form of active dislike towards DBscotsdragon, and it is at least somewhat reciprocated, due to their differing opinions and methods on certain issues. Is fond of joking at times, but is sometimes hard to detect doing so and has at times hurt people by doing so. Rather intelligent and pretty informed when it comes to political ideologies and such.

DBscotsdragon
Active Scottish regular, though has been less frequent recently. Spelling/Grammar Templar (Partly tied to OCD tendencies) Chose UTM on the day he joined Kongregate, and has only left once. Went on a four-hour room-hop in the early hours of Wednesday, 21st July, 2010. On this room-hop spree, he favourited several other rooms. This was the first time DB left UTM since he created his account. Was silenced by Nord for 15 mins on 17th May, 2010 (for discussing how the Bible has been altered over the centuries) Prone towards a critical and harsh view of others, sometimes resulting in unintended conflict. Is not malicious in such intents however, and almost-certainly never intends any true harm towards others, despite sometimes deeply offending. Actually enjoys discussion & debate, provided people speak for themselves instead of forming groups and risking a conflict of opinion turning to an argument.

Demonkitty16
One of the more popular members of UTM (likely due to her being female). Is quite insane, rather kinky & pretty talented... Has BlogTV account that she usually runs on weekends. Likes roleplaying being a cat.

donteatglue1
Is the sexually-repressed, bi-curious, virgin of UTM. Likes animals and soft things. Tends to lie about her gender to outsiders, but is actually female. Writes stories (often of the Horror genre). Tends to get very annoyed when chat gets heated.

ElloMello
Was formerly known as Ramon1000100100; his old account was hacked. Enjoys running marathons and Wesnoth, and is very much a Chivalrous Pervert. One of the few regulars that appears to have a working knowledge of DBscotsdragon.

ezered
Sometimes enjoys talking about the "old times"... (The old times according to him include Toa_of_Pi, pre-Mod, & "some old regulars who no longer exist but enjoyed singing".) Is (in his opinion), the coolest-looking UTM regular, after looking on Facebook and realising this. Has been in UTM since he was a Kong newbie. Tends to drop in and out of conversations without warning.

GarnetRose
Arrived at the UTM by following Nord on his adventures. Gets on well with all of the other regulars. Is a radiant young mother, bringing happiness & (extra) insanity to all of the UTM. Not on as often as she used to be, due to that silly thing called "life". Is currently not on often due to pregnancy, and her having newly-settled in Korriban instead of UTM

Godseed
British regular. May not actually exist, but certainly talks enough to make up for any lack of reification. Collects quotes (they're much cheaper than Bionicle or "Havoc: the Bothering").

Current favourite: "I'd hate to recommend drugs, alcohol, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." - Hunter S. Thompson

Rarely chats anymore; prefers to lurk.

incubus0
Sometimes known as "inc"

German regular with a penchant for the guys ;)(

Often flirtatious with Mat

kamakazi1
Known as "kama".

A fan of "explicit materials" and wenches.

Sometimes referred to as "The Horny Teenager".

Dislikes being brought into conflicts between other regulars.

Kayos94
A Canadian regular.

Is a mild form of Grammar Nazi.

Likes cats, loves to rant, & is rather paranoid.

Enjoys discussing video games, and loves internet memes.

Is a Golemizer addict, and currently runs the UTM Guild.

klaa2
One of the 'older' regulars.

Spends most of his time on Kong during slow days at work.

Has developed what some people call a 'life' lately, and is not on as much as the other regulars.

Is often both annoyed and amused by the idiosyncrasies of trolls and humanity in general.

Is frustrated by those who promote spiritualism, aliens, and evolution.

Is addicted to the games Golemizer and Remnants of Skystone.

mesamunefire
One of the older (age-wise) regulars.

Is happily married & the resident "Computer Guy" of UTM.

Currently has a job bossing other computer guys around.

Likes to debate a bit about anything you give him.

Will (attempt to) beat anyone at Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and often succeeds.

NinjaTom
Known as "Ninja" "Tom" or "Shedinja".

English regular and likes men.

Has a lack of fondness for DBscotsdragon, due to DB's tendency towards being an abrasive personality.

Noobmasterz
Joined UTM when he was still only Level 2 on Kong', and intends to stay for as long as he can.

Seems to like virtually snuggling people.

Got a lover recently and is not on as much.

Is referred to by a variety of names (Noob, Noobm, Noom, Mas... basically just various shortenings of his username)

RoseCotton81
A mother of three knew GarnetRose before coming to Kongregate.

Is known as Rose or Ruse.

Will defend her position in arguments to the point of death (of the opponent).

Serenai
The lovely lady with whom Noobmasterz is enamoured.

Known as "Sere"

Is the triple-threat of being beautiful in appearance, personality, and mind.

Doesn't drop by as often as others, and usually accompanies Noobmasterz.

shimmerspirit
Dislikes being ignored and will spam and use caps-lock if clamouring for attention. Nowhere near as foolish as she sometimes appears to seem.

Staz
She's a very well-intentioned young woman who arrived around the same time as Corin.

Knows both shimmer & DB from before meeting on Kongregate.

Would like DB to cut back on the more abrasive aspects of his behaviour; ostensibly for the good of himself, but also to protect others she sees as threatened/intimidated by him.

Would generally be defined as Neutral Good, and is quite a sensitive person.

tanwers
Known as "tan".

Far from a newbie to UTM, he has been here longer than most.

He is an active young man sometimes refered to as a French Whore.

UberSephy
"What can I say about me...? I'm uber. Pure and simple. ;D"

Has taken back his rightful place as a regular... finally.

"That's right, punks... suffer my wrath! Keep trolling, see how far it gets you in life."

Waterdancer9
Prefers to be called Water.

One of the kindest, most caring (sometimes too much for her own good) regulars.

Likes fluffy things and is obsessed with Kingdom Hearts.

WolfgangG
Writes strange stories.

Can be rather depressive at times, but seems to have cheered up recently.

Seems not to chat as often as he used to.

Zace
Is good friends with most of the regulars

Is a self-described: scatterbrained, mindless, so-called machine, designed and destined to be a slave to living.

Known to be 'silly' and serious, can get depressive at times (and promptly makes himself leave)

Truly believes in his own lack of a soul, though others say he does have one.

Has no nicknames (likely due to his already-simple username), excluding things such as "Zacey" or his real name.

Known to be good for debates, or at least always have a comment to add.

May make silly comments to brighten people's days. He has muted OVER 9000! users, and has actually reached the maximum amount of mutes that a user can give out. This number is 10999 users. He's a programmer! So that too.

He has a four-foot "boner". (The musical instrument... You perverts)

Zorki
Cute, glasses-wearing, geek-girl.

Often studying or working herself to the bone.

Has a knack for resolving conflicts amicably.

Alongside ElloMello, is one of the few UTMers to have at least a basic grasp of DBscotsdragon.

Moderators of UTM
Here to serve and protect.. And compute; better than you.

Matsteo
ROOM OWNER

Grammar Paladin.

After a run-in with the Grammar Gestapo, he's changed his evil ways and become much more tolerant of those less grammatically endowed. Also, as a mod he can't go around bitching about everything.

He is one of the older regulars of the UTM, along with Toa_of_Pi.

Lives in San Francisco (claimed to be the home of everything awesome)

Some hobbies of his include cross country, procrastinating on the UTM, and snuggling other regulars.

He loves the whole world, and all its sights and sounds. Boom-de-yada.

Loves to dance, believe it or not, and will tango all over you if you keep on trollin'! Was nominated for modship, and obtained his 'M' on Wednesday, September 8th, 2010.

Nordavind
UTM's famous Viking Mod. Not much is known about Nord, but we do know that he hates trolls and those who feed them. Nord was (until a while ago) the owner of The Warehouse, but his Viking ancestry made him set off for new adventures. Has left us for a new room, but makes sure to visit often. Not yet. - Nord.

Oceanix
The mod without a profile (Not really; he just doesn't like you enough). Has been around longer than the other mods, but isn't in UTM often.

Isn't active as much, but still drops by sometimes.

Olimm
Olimm is UTM's newest Mod comparatively, but a firm favourite.

Has taken up residence in the UTM to smite the hordes of infernal trolls and whatnot.

Has been nicknamed "Olly" "Ol" "ORLYm" and prefers "Olim" to "Olimm".

A Note Regarding Roleplaying
There was a Chatzy room set up specifically for UTMers who wish to roleplay.

The Admins were DBscotsdragon, Matsteo, & Noobmasterz.

We hoped to run a semi-regular session of a simple RP system.

There were murmurings of TaiJParry wanting to run a low-level Supers campaign in GURPS, also.

If enough interest is expressed, it would be remarkably easy to set it all up again.

I want to learn more about Turing machines!
