• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

The world's most influential person is...

...moot!

moot is the alias of the founder of 4chan. Yeah, it's not hard to expect that they'd be involved in this.

However, there's something interesting about the rest of the poll results, too. marblecakealsothegame, eh?

The top results were engineered by 4chan with a hack that is detailed in this article (or at least, so the article claims).

Now, fairly and objectively, I'd say moot didn't deserve to win. 4chan's influence extends to the geeky fanbases of the internet and that's it. It's very rare and weird for someone in real life to reiterate a 4chan meme, and every person I know that has said a 4chan meme out loud knew beforehand that it was from 4chan. Compare this to movie quotes that get used in everyday life ( and of course, movies) without most people knowing where they come from.

In a weird way, though, you could argue that he is the most influential person. Nobody organized an irc channel for Vladimir Putin, did they?
 
Ha ha ha. How cute. I bet the 4chan script kiddies think they pulled off something epic here.
 
everyone knew he would win a month ago, haven't we got over this

besides, look at the past winners: Shigeru Miyamoto and Rain? yeah.
 
no it just made everyone use 'epic' everygoddamnwhere in wrong contexts and/or applying it to everything and i now hate the word with the intensity of an exploding sun
kind of the same goes for 'fail' and 'win'
 
>_<

Wouldn't the inventor(s, or whatever) of the computer and internet be a bit more influential? 4chan might be influential on the web but wtf the entire world?

which is why the poll was manipulated. :3
 
I have heard of three of the people on that list before.
Three.
They may be influential, but they aren't well publicized.
 
what is "marblecake"?

pretty awesome, actually

<3 I love marble loaf cake.

Anyway, the only interesting thing about this was the hack used to actually arrange the names of the top people so that you could see the secret message ooh; I don't really care about moot as much as the hack.

I like how I barely know any of the people in the marblecakealsothegame list.

Until people in your school start using it all the time, you can't complain.
...unless your school has already caught the 'fail'?
 
what is "marblecake"?

I think they are/were one of the big sub-groups within the Anonymous who are protesting Scientology. Their name came up when I was reading an anti-Scientology board; apparently some Anonymous thought marblecake were trying to be the "leaders" of Anonymous and as we all know Anonymous is leaderless etc

"The game" is, of course... oh shit I lost the game
