This is the official Schnorki appreciation thread.
You may have seen his Skull floating around the forums, dropping D2R PHD-level theorycrafting dissertations on poor souls just wanting to know which base to use for their Infinity runeword.
So what do we actually know about this elusive member?
And... is totally worthy of the Contributor badge:
Thank you for everything you do mate.
If you have any other Schnorki-related trivia, facts, or comments you are welcome to share them here.

a guess:
handle based on german word Schnorchel, used on Unterseebooten during Unterwasserfahrt.
Interesting. But no. Never actually heard that one before. Most tend to assume it is derived from "schnorren" which is akin to begging/leeching in German slang but that, too is incorrect.
To the best of my knowledge, I'm actually the original Schnorki (before some buggers started copying it and blocking account names for me years later ~~) and the whole thing goes back to a completely random story from when I was like 5. No German words involved.
Have to admit, it also reminded me of the 80's TV cartoon show De Snorkels (Snorks in english) when I was a kid, which was basically the Smurfs underwater...
You play in a different language and want to trade an item with the name "Brennender Riesenzauber der VerstĆ¼mmelung"?
Use the Baaltor tool to translate it into "Burning Grand Charm of Maiming"
Not to detract from the milestone of Schnorki being the vice-president of likes, but...right back at you, director Teebling.
May someone do an elaborate praise in your name too.
