Isn't that the question we ask ourselves every day at Mahalo?

WHO IS Jeff Hoard?
What makes a man like that tick?

The short answer is that Jeff, our Jeff, is the Community Manager here at Mahalo Answers. He is the self-proclaimed Sheriff who keeps this place peaceful and orderly. Beyond the borders of this website, he's a blogger and a Canadian (I'm sure he can't help it).

Describing himself, Jeff has said "I like to...blow my mind".

He runs his own website, the aptly-named www.jhoard.com. And he *claims* to look like this:

But according to my sources, this is an artist's rendering of what Jeff Hoard is actually believed to look like:

@dami... here on Mahalo you don't "have to choose the first correct answer".

If you prefer to do that, so be it.

But the rest of us choose the *best* and most helpful answer.

I don't know what you think Mahalo is, but it's not a place to set a quiz that you know the answer to and give marks to whoever gets the right answer first. It's a place for people to help each other by sharing their knowledge, and it's not the quickest but the most thorough and helpful that are valued here.

You left out the caption for that image of "Croc Hoard", which I believe was:

"Jeff Hoard explains the Copy and Paste rules to a Mahalo newbie".

Oh Hello, I'm Jeff Hoard of Mahalo.com

Most of the answers above are accurate...with exception to @chriswingate's

I've been working with Mahalo for over two years now, first as a Serp Builder, the David Attenborough serp was my first in July 07. In February 08 I got hired as a full time guide helping manage experimental developments on Mahalo, most notably "Mahalo Social" which was retired with Answers was launched.

I've been the Community Manager of Mahalo Answers since it's launch in December 2008. My duties include introducing new users, answering questions about Mahalo and responding to all feedback (I get about 50 msgs a day give or take) - Also, along with @lesliec, I manage what appears on the Front Page of Mahalo answers, we take care of all the spam, abuse reports, inappropriate posts and deal with abusers, we investigate fraudulent users and ban anybody who violates the Terms of Service. I do my best to post interesting questions with generous tips to get users involved, periodically I'll post informative posts about how to use Mahalo or how to help make Mahalo better.

If you have any questions or concerns just let me know :)

I don't know Jeff Hoard personally but so far, I know him as one of the nice people here in Mahalo. :) Whenever I have questions or problems, I always ask him and he responds right away and find solution on my problem.

I know that it's part of his job as a community manager to find ways on how can he help other members but it's just that he's friendly enough that you won't be scared to approach him. Sometimes, when you have to speak to someone who has authority, there's this intimidating aura right? But since Jeff Hoard is so kind to all, it's easier to talk to him. ^^

Hmm... So there. That's how I see Jeff Hoard. He's one of the people I look up to here. ^^

Anyone who has seen the ongoing documentary series, "Southpark," is clear on at least one fact - Jeff is Canadian. He is also an advocate for being against plagiarism. Sort out THAT sentence. He also appears to have a sense of humor. Essential to survival in the upper ranks of Mahalo. More so than Starbuck's VIA. Supportive, compassionate, really gives a hoot...these are my personal observations. Wanna see Jeff in full swing? Tune in on Wednesday. Is it okay to say thanks for getting me over the learning curve? Not really a description - sort of a testimonial-ette.

Who is that unmasked man?

He is an all-round nice guy, scourge of idiocy and plagiarism, and lover of all things David Attenborough and James Burke.

Also a big Lord of the Rings fan.

My kinda guy. :D

Jeff Hoard was a child actor. Then he blew his money on liquor and ISP fees so now he works for Mahalo.

I also found an artist's rendition of him.
