Checking for users who forked the repo in 2017 and haven't been active since 2017 I got.

- amidman

- eqzus

- Mike Hancoski (follows users from NY, wrote PHP code, his personal website domain wasn't renewed and is now available.)

This guy looks like a clean shaven version of those pictures. Noses look the same. The eyes. No updates to the account since 2015.

Do not look alike to me at all. different eyebrow shape and texture and possibly color, different teeth and different nose shape. nose on the right has a bulbous end quite different from shape on left.

Damn, they really DO look very similar. Mike appears to have unattached earlobes, and MH's appear attached, however.

Definitely several similar characteristics. Could be a brother.

Maybe brothers or closely related.

Might be worth reaching out to other people working for "Xcite Media Group". 23 employees is small enough to know if someone went missing.

It would be funny if the real Mike Hancoski googles himself and stumbles upon this thread.

Mike Hancoski as of 2018 was living in Denver, posted to Instagram and looks different than photos. I think you also missed Maxim2030 who is also in the list by momothereal. And also manhyper

We're hitting the end of the allowed reply indents but I think you're right modernerd. Looks like he's likely still active online.

Ahh thank you I had missed Maxim2030. Looks like manhyper updated his fork of screeps on February 11th?

Also saw Mike Hancoski's Instagram but it's odd he hasn't posted anything to his LinkedIn since 2014? Maybe worth awkwardly reaching out just in case?

Maybe he just stopped using LinkedIn? I think these are the same Mike:

Hancoski also has an active facebook page. I won't link it but I found it with a Google search and he last posted in Dec 2019.
