Jon "Ngamer" Barber owns and operates thengamer.com , from which he hosts several Board 8 projects such as his "lol x-stats" web application (a Contest Simulator), the Contest Archive, the First Vote Machine, and the Stats Topic Archive (maintained by Team Rocket Elite). The following season, Ngamer was instrumental in making Match Updates a daily occurrence on Board 8, creating update topics for nearly every matchup. Additionally, Ng has co-hosted (with his partner Team Rocket Elite) First Vote competitions for every Contest since Spring 2004.
