Marblecake, also the game.

I started trolling /b/ around 4 years ago, maybe even 5. It's a blurred line that doesn't really matter. I'm not a newfag and that's all that matters.

It seems that anon, sometimes referred to as Legion has made a mockery out of Time.com and their online poll of most influential people. The founder of 4chan, moot (aka Christopher Poole, CP) has recently been voted Time.com's most influential person. To be honest, all hacking aside, this is probably true when you take into account what has stemmed from 4chan's /b/ board. Almost anything you see on the internet that's funny started on /b/, including those stupid pictures of the lolcats. So his position as number one on the list is most likely deserved unless you count anonymous as a person, then I say they are the most influential. But it seems that some foul play was at work this year at Time.com's online poll. If you look closely at the first letter of the names for the first 21 people on the top 100, something interesting happens. "Marblecake, also the game" appears. Legion has struck again.

Read about it over at MusicMachinery where Paul Lamere has a great writeup of how it happened.
