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.
