Ian is the creator and lead admin of Marapets. He is in charge of the general site updates and features around the site.
However, he has received backlash for fat shaming, being racist, underpaying the site's artists, and putting Marapets in a quiet state since 2022. There were rumours that Ian was either recuperating from managing the site or visiting his family in Australia, but he revealed in an October 2023 Forum post that he had spent much of his sabbatical from Marapets converting articles of doll clothing from 2005-era Flash to modern code.
