On MTGS, he moderated Limited (Sealed, Draft), [[Standard]], Speak Your Mind, and the Team MTG Salvation forum.
 
====Administratorship====
On 6 February, 2007, [[sneakyhomunculus]], busied with his personal life, decided to resign as Administrator of MTGSalvation; sneakyhomunculus stated, in the Special Occassions thread, titled "I'm leaving the site kiddos"<ref>http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=66715</ref>,
{{cquote|I have decided to resign as an administrator of {{MTGS}}. Although I have had a great time on the staff, I think it's time to pass to torch to someone else. Adding some fresh blood and giving someone the chance who has new ideas and is willing to put a lot of time into this great site. Personally I found it getting harder and harder to combine the responsibilities of the admin job with my personal life and aren't really willing to do so anymore. I have already discussed this with my fellow admin and hannes and seds will announce the new admin later today. I'm sure he will do a great job and I have every fate in him being perfect for the position.}}
 
With sneakyhomunculus' departure announced, and his de-adminning, there was only one admin, [[urzassedatives]], who, with sneakyhomunculus and Hannes, prior to sneakyhomunculus' resignation, decided that the position of administrator would best belong to Lesurgo, who was later promoted.<ref>http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=66743</ref>
 
On 5 May, 2010, Lesurgo announced his retirement from his staff position, saying, "The simple matter of it all is that I no longer belong on the staff here," followed by a lengthy post.<ref>http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=240913</ref>
 
====Other activity====
Lesurgo, formerly organic_android#20, was also a moderator at [[MTGNews]].
