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
YEAH

Of course, they used scripts and macros to make him win.

Yesterday, sort of. I was on the verge of crying. Why? I got into an argument with a couple other people from #nsider and it got me really upset. I didn't really cry much though

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.

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

Yes, it is. Why? We ARE talking about /b/ here.

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
