Bonk Hall of Fame

# Description

This is a user-created list of players, community members, and creators, all of whom have contributed in some way to the bonk community, or risen to the pinnacle of a given mode/map. There are 100 users listed, with information given about each. The list is not rank ordered, but it is sectioned into spheres of interest that include different types of community members. Hopefully this can serve as a guide to bonk and its community!

(work in progress, I will finish this over the coming days)

# Players

## Developers

### 1. Chaz

**Nationality:** British

**Level:** 36 (appears as 999 through database modification)

**Bio:** Chaz is the creator of bonk, as well as other multiplayer.gg games such as Tiny Tanks and Supercar Stadium. Chaz created bonk in early 2016, but implemented user-made maps and accounts in June of that year. Chaz is an enigmatic developer, who, controversially, prefers not to interact with the community through discord. He also rarely appears in-game. In bonk1 he used a red pokeball skin, which he has since changed to blue for bonk2. He has created several of the most upvoted bonk1 maps, such as Classic, Twin Spin, Death Hall Fixed, and more. Additionally, he chooses quickplay rotations, makes game updates, appoints curators, and has helped the community when issues arise, such as implementing password changes. He is the face of bonk, and without his dedication and developing skills, no one on this list would've ever played this game.

### 2. Fantao

**Nationality:** Belgian

**Level:** 74

**Bio:** Fantao is a bonk developer alongside Chaz. Fantao's role in bonk's production is not well defined, but he has worked previously on frontend UI and artwork for the game. He holds a "developer" role in BCD. Fantao also created some of the most well-known and played maps on bonk, including Altum, Meridian, and Traptic. Similar to Chaz, Fantao is inactive in the community, and it is unknown whether he still collaborates with Chaz on bonk2.

## Projects, Channels, and Community Efforts

### 3. Finbae

**Nationality:** British

**Level:**

**Bio:** Finbae is the frontend and web developer of Bonk Leagues, a useful player-made website adjacent to bonk, which allows users to make and store skins. Other tools include a client, where the user can change the look, texture, font, and style of bonk. Previous tools include an XP checker, server status checker, and quickplay map list, however these features were permanently disabled with the switch to bonk2, when Chaz made changes to bonk's API which restricted outside access. Finbae is also a co-leader of the Bonk Leagues discord, which has over 9,000 members. It is the largest bonk.io discord server.

### 5. IAmNotHacking

**AKA:** The elder

**Nationality:** American

**Level:** 132

**Bio:** IAmNotHacking originally became a community member in 2016-17 playing duck and cover. She leveled up extremely fast, and became the 30th recorded player to reach level 100 on her account, "The elder." After retiring her account at level 132 and stepping away from bonk, she returned in 2021 and began working on a project dubbed "Bonkonauts." Bonkonauts is a third party website which allows players to check their own XP, account creation date, map data, friends lists, and other useful statistical information. As the only polished website of its kind, Bonkonauts is a valuable tool for players.

### 6. Shaunxx

**Nationality:** British

**Level:** 100

**Bio:** Shaunxx is most well-known for his DBID-to-Date project, which is featured on IAmNotHacking's Bonkonauts website. It takes players' database IDs and estimates a creation date for any given account, based on known creation datapoints. Database IDs are assigned to each account as it is created; for instance, the first account created would have a DBID of 1, the second would be 2, and so on. Shaun's calculator takes this number and approximates when precisely the account was made. In addition to this project, Shaun is regarded as a top 10 player in Football mode, and is active in its community.

### 7. ShyguymaskYT

**Nationality:** American

**Level:** 74

**Bio:** ShyguymaskYT is perhaps the most well-known bonk YouTuber of all time. The success of his videos is a large part of bonk's success overall, with his most popular bonk video "Bonk.io - Do Not Move!" ultimately reaching 4.8 million views on YouTube. Shyguymask's videos popularized challenges such as "solo vs teams" challenge, "don't jump" challenge, and "don't move" challenge. His YouTube channel currently has 284,000 subscribers. Supplementing his YouTube career, Shyguymask became respected in the community for his skill on the map DEATH by emil900, often dominating 1v1 lobbies in 2018.

### 8. kklkkj

**Nationality:** British

**Level:** 166

**Bio:** kklkkj rose to popularity in 2018, when he was featured in ShyguymaskYT's video "Bonk.io - PLAYING WITH A HACKER!" In the video, kklkkj's level appeared to be "4473," and throughout the video he was able to make players very big, make them spin, duplicate them, and reverse gravity. The video accumulated 249,000 views, and sparked an interest in "hacking bonk" that persists to this day. Kklkkj is also a skilled mapmaker, with several maps in grapple quickplay, and "Parkour Floors" being the 8th most upvoted map in bonk2. In 2020, kklkkj won a BCD classic tourney with some of the best bonk players of the time, including NBG112, Shunk, GudStrat, Hyperion1, and wizardlypig. He won the tournament decisively, only giving up rounds against NBG and wizardlypig in the finals and loser's bracket redemption matches. A year later, he won a second BCD tournament on a technicality, this time in arrows mode. As of late, kklkkj does not play as much bonk as he once did, instead putting his time toward coding bonk modifications and extensions such as kklee, which make the bonk.io mapmaking UI more intuitive and user-friendly.

### 9. Salamana\_

**AKA:** Salama

**Nationality:** Finnish

**Level:** 222

**Bio:** Salamana, along with Excigma and SneezingCactus, is a leading force in the bonk.io modding community, which usually consists of running GreasyFork scripts through the chrome extension TamperMonkey. Salamana's projects include a bonk host mod, and a playlist mod, among others. The former is a quality of life mod that makes it far easier to host lobbies, and the latter is a way to add bonk maps to playlist for later use. Host mod has 4,000 installs, and playlist mod has over 500. In addition to his work as a programmer, Salama has been a constant presence on Simple 1v1 leaderboards, recognized for his consistent and deadly use of heavied attacks and his precise offensive playstyle. He is currently ranked 6th on the official Simple 1v1 leaderboard.

### 10. Excigma

**Nationality:** New Zealander

**Level:** 105

**Bio:** Excigma, like Salamana, is a well-known modder who uses GreasyFork and TamperMonkey to affect bonk. He created the original code injector through which all of bonk's mods work, as well a mod for fullscreen and one for themes, which allows you to change bonk's colors, texts, buttons, and overall appearance. Excigma's code injector has nearly 4,000 installations, while his fullscreen and theme mods have 1,000 each. Overall, Excigma has the most installations of bonk mods on GreasyFork, with just under 8,000.

### 11. SneezingCactus

**Nationality:** Argentinian

**Level:** 77

**Bio:** SneezingCactus is renowned in the modding community as the creator of GMM (Game Mode Maker), a mod which allows players to create their own gamemodes and share them with others. She has also completed smaller bonk "hacks" in the flash version of bonk, including an anti-kick and XP spoofs, but GMM is her newest and most notable work. Recently, Cactus has started working alongside its\_magic and Finbae as a manager of Bonk Leagues, as well as acting as a chat moderator and event organizer for BCD.

### 12: Oo 0 oO

**Nationality:** Australian

**Level:** 175

**Bio:** No one is quite sure how to pronounce Oo 0 oO's name, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a well-respected and dedicated community member. Oo hand-selected the current classic quickplay rotation, and has the role of curator in the game itself. He has also been active in the modding community, giving feedback and helping test ideas. Additionally, Oo is a skilled classic player, parkourist, and skin maker. Strangely, his username cannot be searched in the bonk search menu, rendering his wide array of maps difficult to access.

### 13. NoTalkOnlyProx

**AKA:** NTOP

**Nationality:** American

**Level:** 55

**Bio:** NTOP stands as one of the most successful bonk.io Twitch streamers ever, with 352 followers and regular weekly streams. He was the organizational mastermind behind the Grapple World Cup, in which 64 grapplers battled for a cash prize.

### 14. wizardlypig

**AKA:** Eden Finch, Nova Lion, Silas Quinn

**Nationality:** American

**Level: 175**

**Bio:** Wizardlypig is well known in the bonk.io community for making lists that people look at sometimes. These lists include the Bonk Level Leaderboard, Classic Skill Leaderboard, DBID player sheet, list of first players to hit level 100, and several arrows leaderboards. Overall he has been interested in the bonk community and its history for years, and his knowledge of bonk's player-base is unmatched. He has also assisted in running several tournaments, and in picking maps for the latest edition of classic quickplay. He placed 2nd in the 2020 BCD Christmas tournament to kklkkj, and 2nd in 5CR34M's 2023 classic tourney to Neuth. He is regarded as a good all-around player, with proficiency in classic, arrows, and simple 1v1 grapple, which makes sense as he has accumulated over 6.7 million XP across all his accounts. Additionally, he has several free skins available on Bonk Leagues, and is regarded as a top skin maker on bonk. Wizard is also a wiki moderator.

## Mapmakers

### 15. The 9th Doctor

**Nationality:** American

**Level:** 168

**Bio:** During the bonk1 era, The 9th Doctor was a well-known mapmaker, specializing in 3d objects and rotating maps. His bonk1 maps were popular, and garnered over 10,000 total upvotes. However, with the shift to bonk2, Doc took a more experimental approach to his maps, pushing the limits of bonk's physics engine and testing new mechanics. His bonk2 maps center around grapple gameplay, and with each of his famous Grapple Gears maps sitting at 33.8k, 14.4k, and 10.8k upvotes, he is easily one of most decorated mapmakers of the bonk2 era. In total, he has 9 maps in grapple quickplay and 1 in classic quickplay. Doc is also a chat moderator for BCD, and has attempted many data-related projects in the bonk community, including a projects aiming to make a playing and mapmaking AI.

### 16. MuadDib

**Nationality:** Czech

**Level:** 104

**Bio:** MuadDib is, debatably, the most talented mapmaker that bonk has ever seen. For his time, using the bonk1 editor, his maps are mechanically unbelievable. He made blocks disappear, reappear, move on a timer, sink, pop back up, even hover. With a distinct red and cream color scheme, muad's maps are unmistakable. He has 13 maps over 10,000 upvotes, 10 maps over 20,000 upvotes, and 5 maps over 50,000 upvotes, putting him among the most upvoted mapmakers of all time. His most upvoted maps are Square is Safe, Balloon Fight and Simplex. He was also a talented skin maker when he was active, creating skins of mostly animals and wildlife. Perhaps more notably, Muad was the 15th person to hit level 100, though his account rests untouched at level 104.

### 17. JonesReal

**AKA:** jones

**Nationality:** American(?)

**Level:** 125

**Bio:** JonesReal is, undeniably, the king of upvotes. His maps occupy the 1 and 2 spot for most upvoted maps ever, with battle for the swing at 783,000 upvotes and duck and cover at 662,000 upvotes. Jones is perhaps the most influential mapmaker ever, creating features such as the "bus" featured in duck and cover and hit by bus, and the "swing" featured in battle for the swing. Looking back at map IDs, though, it looks as though Jones could've gotten a head start on map creation: 71 of the first 500 maps were created by JonesReal. This suggests that Chaz could've given Jones permission to make maps before the general public, thus leading his maps to be played more, and upvoted more frequently. In the first week following Chaz's first map, a creator called "jones" created 2 maps: jones1 and V1. After creating those 2 maps, JonesReal began making maps, suggesting that JonesReal and jones are the same person on different accounts. Other details about Jones include the fact that he was an excellent footy player, and an even better trash-talker, known to kick or ridicule people for little to no reason. He was the 31st person to hit level 100.

### 18. Querp

**Nationality:** Australian

**Level:**

**Bio:** Querp is a famous bonk1 mapmaker, innovator, and community member. Many of his maps have been quickplay staples, and are favorites of classic players. Well-known bonker raspy 667 credits Querp as his favorite map maker, and cites "Mess" by Querp as his favorite map. Querp's mechanics were groundbreaking, especially in mans such as "Indiana Jones simulator," "Walls are safe test," "and dfsrgdf2.15." Querp has 9 maps featured in the Community Picks list. Many of his maps have names that are a result of button mashing his keyboard, so they can be had to remember or differentiate. Mess, his most popular map, has 35,000 upvotes.

### GayfishDeluxe

**Nationality:** Polish

**Level:**

**Bio:** Gayfish and Querp occupy a similar niche in bonk.io mapmaking, as early mapmakers and innovators. Gayfish, though, continues to produce many maps at present, whereas Querp is less active. Gayfish keeps most of his maps on private nowadays, and it is hard to see his current work apart from joining his lobbies, or having him request his own maps. Gayfish is regarded by many as a top mapmaker, and his most popular maps "Fallen Bridge," "Balance," and "Forgotten Floors" all have over 15,000 upvotes. What puts MuadDib, Querp, and GayfishDeluxe into a league of their own is the support they receive from community members: many mapmakers get thousands of upvotes, but with 15, 9, and 7 maps in Community Picks respectively, this big 3 includes some of the most beloved map creators in bonk's history. Gayfish is also known for his skin creation.
