Who has been the most influential?
 

I did a quick search and seen nothing related to this, and after reading all 7 pages of the "Say something nice about the person above you" thread, I felt it only proper to ask who has been the most influential in all your time here. Now I know its not going to be a life changing thing, but just post the person and what they did that made you really stop and think about something from their point of view, and possibly even switch; or just all around gave you influence for doing something.

I actually have a couple people. Someone who doesn't really get mentioned on the rest of this forum, Bluecube - helped me big when I was totally(sp? looks hella awkward) into RPG Maker 2003.

D3V - Someone I didn't really get along with at first, and had beef with at one time, but now he seems pretty chill. Goes to show that people can change, if given the chance. Also, found out he is into cars, as I have become recently (about 2 years now, looking forward to possibly racing being as we live so close)

Im sure there are a few more that I can't recall, and I will post again with them later. As for now, you get the idea, so go ahead and tell the rest of the forum who made the biggest impression on you.

I would have to say Raziel.

Reading his flame threads made me want to emulate him. It also inspired me to get a better vocabulary and present myself more articulately.

Definitely you when I go back and read your old posts. I'd have to say K_A. He actually got me to think about how I handled things online.

Great thread dude. Influental? Damn, that's actually pretty hard. Believe it or not there a few jackasses on here that I don't get along with hardly at all, that do influence me including Grav, K_A, 'n such.

I'd say though that since MJ has been so highly talkative about religion, that honestly has opened my views on a few things.

But on a daily basis, I'd say HoH and Thanatos currently probably have the most influence on me, because I'd say that from them both I get the most advice on a daily basis, and I see myself being similar to them.

Excellent question, Draco2003. I'll be surprised if anyone here remembers even half (2.5) of them.

Luciel for making me try to understand who I am.

WetWired for making me get my act together on many occasions.

Dubby for getting me started in the field of art, which I would have been completely oblivious to otherwise.

Wanderer for inspiring me to get involved in game development and 3D modelling.

Trojan for enacting proceedings imbued with eschewment in deobfuscation.

K_A, Grav, Raziel, Mjordan and tacoX definitely deserve a mention too, although I think their impact is more related toward the outcome of this community. I have most certainly forgotten to mention quite a few members, so perhaps I'll revise this list later on.
