Steven Goates

Steven Goates, under the username Ridgedog, is the leader of the VoxelBox, and a member of the Yogscast staff who joined the team in January 2012. He has appeared in a number of Yogscast videos, the first of which was in a Testificate Golf Course map made by the Voxel Box.

In March 2012, Ridgedog became involved in an unfortunate situation involving former member Peva. Words having been exchanged in a less than professional manner on both sides, Ridgedog fired and banned Peva from the Yogscast for verbally abusing fellow members and other immature actions on Peva's part. Ridgedog has since admitted to handling the situation in a not quite professional manner, but things could have been handled better on both sides.

More recently, Ridgedog has starred as a referee in the Survival Games, The Walls, and the Crown Conquest games played by the members of the Yogscast and other notable YouTubers.

Ridgedog has also played the villain, on Martyn's Christmas ADVENTure, the Grinch. As well as appearing during the 2012 Christmas Livestream, notably when he took the stream on 29th December, playing Kerbal Space Program.

Ridge has recently made multiple appearances among both Sips and Sjin's Voltz series and Lewis, Duncan, and Simon's series.
