You have very few choices.

Also, it'd probably better if you made this a never ending poll.

By definition Shadowpaw is the most influential.

In theory, yes, Shadowpaw was, in fact, the most influential user ever to log onto the ToO.
In practice, however, Shadowpaw has not been active or posting for quite some time and therefore has generally faded from influence, despite having the ability to regain that influence at will.

But without him, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Shadowpaw doesn't impact the day-to-day things on the ToO....other than the part where he created most of the things we use and continues to pay for it all.

I guess "most influential" could be interpreted different ways. Is it "person with most recent impact" or "person with most impact overall throughout the history of the ToO" or some other variation. That interpretation will impact the answer each person supports.

I'm honored that I've made the list (and that someone voted for me :shock: ) But I also am not certain I can honestly vote for myself. D= Catspaw and Shadowpaw definitely beat me, and I can't decide if I'm more influential than snubs. *cries*

I can't take a list that doesn't have Top on it seriously. :P

Under pressure, I have added Shadowpaw to the list (sigh). Despite discrepancies to the word "are"...

If you mean because it doesn't ask 'Who was the most influential' in the past tense, that's irrelevant in the case of Shadowpaw. Even if the only thing of influence he did was create the site, that singular action is still by definition the most influential thing that has ever been done. If the site doesn't exist there is nothing for anyone else to influence. But, as Catspaw elaborated, that certainly was not the only thing Shadowpaw has done. His presence is continually felt, and indeed imperative, whether or not his public activity is recent or extensive, because he pays for the domain to remain active. So he is the one who brought the site into existence and the one who keeps it in existence. Without him in the past we would never have come to be and without him in the present we would cease to be. You can't have a greater level of influence than that.

They fell below the threshold for an extended period of time.
