Most influental forum user

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

Virginia was probably the most influential poster of the 2015. Al is among most influential since the beginning of timeforum. Out of those inactive people like Lewis, Lunar, Xahar should be mentioned.

Hamilton was influential for wrong reasons.

I can think of very few posters who influenced the forum subculture as OC.

In terms of real power, it's obviously Morden. He can ban you like stepping on a bug.

-Virginia famously called Florida for HRC if Marco didn't win the nomination back in 2015. If she's the most influential poster of that year, man, was the forum under a spell.

Please apologize for this most dishonorable post. Everyone was saying stuff like that.

-If everyone was saying stuff like that, the spell must have been even stronger than I thought.

I didn't join until the very, very end of 2015. Did you mean 2016? Also, you registered in 2017. How would you even know what I said that long ago?

Anyway, when I mentioned who was influential to me, their predictions were not even a factor. So many things matter more to me than their casual or even informed prognostications. If they mean everything to you, then I certainly would not be influential (altho I don't think I'm influential anyway, so meh). I also didn't think Trump would sweep the rustbelt. I was also confident of a hillaryslide once the pussy tapes hit, but I a) failed to realize how short the attention span of the electorate is, b) how animosity towards Clinton mattered more to many, and c) that Clinton would find herself embroiled in more FBI crap, as usual.

As they say, live and learn. This was my first election I've paid close attention to, and I feel I've learned a lot and will surely learn from my mistakes - well, most of them anyway

-2015 was what Kalwejt said. I paid reasonably close attention to the 2012 and 2008 elections, but knew full well Obama would win both, so I didn't bother with predicting states. I consider prediction accuracy to be very important in how much attention to pay to a poster. I considered the fundamentals of this election to be such that the popular vote would be very close, certainly closer than in 2012, and I consistently predicted Trump would win Florida throughout the cycle, but did not see the rust belt sweep coming, and overestimated Trump's chances in New Hampshire. I predicted a Trump win all the way until Trump's polling failed to recover substantially from the second debate, after which I concluded Trump would probably lose, but still get over 250 electoral votes.

I regularly look through posters' archives to get a sense of them.

A lot of posters on this forum are basically fake paid trolls from radical sites.

True. Honestly, I feel like there's been an invasion of socks and paid trolls lately on this forum.

Yes, such as Eharding.

-I'm clearly not fake nor paid nor a troll.
