Just Another Fan is one of two Bungie.net Forum Ninjas from Continental Europe, logging in from the Netherlands to moderate the Bungie.net forums.

Just Another Fan, also known as "JAF," is an avid Bungie fan and is involved with several community projects in addition to his volunteer work as a moderator.

JAF, whose real name is Dirk, lives in the Netherlands. He is a writer, and is currently chasing a profession in the film industry.

[edit] As A Forum Ninja

JAF has the reputation of being "Bungie.net's Fastest Moderator" (although some argue that this title goes to evilcam), often catching and locking bad posts within seconds. Despite his European time zone, he can usually be found logging on during the American work day.

As a result of his lightning moderating and tough-but-fair enforcement of the rules, JAF receives an inordinate amount of hate mail. He describes his busiest day as a moderator as being the day that Halo 3 had its registration for the Halo 3 Beta's "Rule of 3" contest.

On 9/24/2008 JAF was promoted to Master Forum Ninja.

[edit] As a Bungie Fan

JAF is extremely involved in the Bungie Community. Despite his moderating, he finds the time to help with the layout of the Bathroom Reader, and runs a Chapter called The Grindhouse dedicated to all-things-film.

He is also an avid artist and has directed some of his art to Fan Art. JAF is well-known for his creation of a Halo 3 "wallpaper" for PCs featuring Cortana.
