Quote(April 27) - Who's the World's Most Influential Person? The answer is moot.
No, really. Time Magazine asked readers to vote online for the most influential person, and the winner was "moot" -- aka Christopher Poole. He's the founder of 4chan.org, an image-based bulletin board that averages 13 million page views a day and 5.6 million visitors a month. 4chan has spawned other wildly popular sites, such as Lolcats.
If you check out the polls on AOL, you'll find that:
72% of voters disagree with this.
19% of voters have heard of "moot" before.
Well, I guess this makes sense. 4chan is pretty big. I guess it's better than some politician getting it. :P
Of course, they used scripts and macros to make him win.
so gay

Actually, Time Magazine made that impossible (You'd get blocked out for voting too many times.)
You had to vote every 10 minutes, or something.
in b4 Fox News.

And it's impossible to create a script that activates once every 10 minutes?

It's called politicians are all inherently liars and cheats X_X;;
I only voted Obama to keep John McSame and batpoop crazy alaskan lady out of the white house. I seriously don't think anyone votes FOR someone, only against the person they don't like...
I wouldn't say it's moot that's the most influential, but instead it's /b/.

bringing a bunch of influential people to one place does not make you influential yourself

well, they obviously wanted to credit someone, and obviously they couldn't credit Anon.

dangit i read about it in an article or something leave me alone :'[
It would be hilarious to see moot actually win through clear hacking. I suppose this is what happens when this sort of thing is run over the internet. They should have done a mail poll.
lol 4 chan is a terrible website.

lol 4 chan is a terrible website.
but it has /c/
so many cute anime pics D:
Where's Kirtypoo or Jewlion?
anime sucks too.
so i guess they go hand in hand.
Time magazine kept trying to block macros from being used, but 4chan was one step ahead the entire time.
ever heard of proxies?
