In the past, we've had people active in the Community with instant name
recognition: Larry P. (++lar) for instance.  We've had infamous people:
Bill
Swanberg, aka the Lego Set Price Modifier.  And of course there has been
people
such as Brad Justus and Jake McKee.

So, who do you consider the most influential AFOL in the :wec: these days?

I'm sure that's quite a large list.  I guess it could also be narrowed down
a bit into categories as your post suggested.  Example, who comes to mind
when I say:

Community Spirit
Online Presence
Class Clown

or:

Largest Collection
Most MOCS in one theme
Best MOC Ever

or even:
SNOT
Lighting
Microscale
Minifigs

I'd have a long list of people who have stuck in my brain whether it be good
or bad.  I wouldn't know who I'd pick for the one most influential AFOL or
the most infamous (Matthew Gerber comes to mind for one category).
