Moot has been very influential, as has been many 4chan users. I believe though that we would all hand Moot the credit for making the website however. Anyways, for better or for worse, 4chan has changed my life, it has changed the world in some ways. Some of our members have hacked foreign governments and sold secrets to the United States. Some of us have completely, irreverably changed the world. Some of us are responsible for creating some of the strongest Anti-Viral and some of the Strongest Firewalls ever created. I remember when I joined 4chan. A team of about 20 hackers had hit the Chinese government and gotten a lot of intel sold to the US government. I remember seeing the second half of the Tiananmen Square video. 4chan has opened my eyes to the REAL world and what really goes on around me. For that, I am ever grateful. 4chan has at the very least irreversibly changed my life and outlook on life in general.
