As the KMC:SW EU and VS forum is nearing its end, who were its biggest influencers?
Who were the top 10 most influential posters on this subboard, that helped shape its style, image and beliefs the most throughout its history, in your opinion? And why? Examples are Lightsnake, Gideon and Nebaris, but has newer members like Ant and Azronger done enough to warrant a spot on the list?
Hopefully it's not nearing its end; nonetheless:
Lightsnake
Gideon
Ant
Skillz
Carthage
In no particular order. Lightsnake and Gideon for defeating the Antedeluvians, Ant for bringing in the Revan/TOR wank, Skillz for the hangouts and I guess I'm giving him some credit for bringing in the wave of people from StarWarsForums, and Carthage for his Bane dies trolling.
This obviously doesn't mean those are the five best debaters, though sans carthage they're all really good.
Not to bash on Azronger, but I'm not sure why he's really being brought up here. He's not really doing anything new or different; he's just imitating classic Tempest, Silver, and Intrepid-style debating. He's doing it pretty faithfully too, no doubt, but it's hardly shaking up the KMC formula.

Ant definitely is too, although I'd say your reason for including him is nonsense; Revan wank was alive and well before Ant. More importantly, though, he's had a heavy hand in pretty much everything that's gone on here since 2013.
Although I wasn't really very involved with the migration of SWF members to KMC, I wouldn't say Skillz would be the one to credit for it. He was the first to join, but that was back in 2012. If anyone was to be credited for the movement that lead to everyone else joining, it would be DMB or Ant.
Agreed on Carthage (and naturally, his forebear Intrepid as well).

Nephthys is also a contender. His name always pops up when you think of KMC SW. The only thing he lacks is that he hasn't really made his mark posting-wise, as in swaying opinions or the like.
There might also be some truth to this. Nephthys may well be pre-2014 KMC SWVF's best and brightest mascot.

LeG is the reason there are SWTOR forums members here. I was the middle man, as per usual.
Technically that's not wrong, but I'd argue that Ant played a bigger role in that than LeGenD did. At least as I recall it, they came over here to argue with Ant, who was going on a crusade over AP's fake quotes.

To be fair, I’m the only reason Beni and Aurbere actually came and stayed. I’d say Ant and Skillz brought me on about as much as each other, Skillz was actually cute af and I don’t think I’d have bothered if I thought you were all as douchey as 12 year old Ant, but at the same time he was the persistent one mmm
And in their defence, I think Aurb (rip) and Beni had seen the light on AP by the time they arrived. Maybe not Aurb tho.
