A long-time member who, despite his constant levels of aggression, remained on SBC for many years. His presence on the site was the catalyst of numerous incidents, including the [[Metalgate]] scandal, which resulted in the bans of several other members. Hayden was known to be combative and controlling, be it pressuring other members into watching pieces of media he enjoyed, attempting to manipulate then-friend [[jjsthekid]] into swinging certain events to his favor, or posting disturbing comments toward certain female SBC members. | A long-time member who, despite his constant levels of aggression, remained on SBC for many years.

He later snuck back into the site under the name DrenchedOtter in August 2021, but was banned again three months later once his identity was uncovered.

Despite being well-respected by much of the site throughout his tenure, MDPP's reputation collapsed in late June 2018, after details of his real-life manipulative relationship with a then-underaged SBC member were revealed to the community. The resulting fallout (the [[Third SBC Renaissance]]) ended with his forced departure and permaban from SBC, and the assumption by [[JCM]] of all technical duties for the site, as well as the reignition of the [[SBM/SBC Feud]], due to the fact that he was unbanned on SBM by ssj (see below) under the alternate name "Bianca". He remains unbanned on SBM to this day, but reportedly has not appeared since 2019. | Despite being well-respected by much of the site throughout his tenure, MDPP's reputation collapsed in late June 2018, after details of his real-life manipulative relationship with a then-underaged SBC member were revealed to the community.
