FFS, how could Moot win that? Not even the people on 4chan actually consider him influential. It's worth noting, also, that he dislikes the Anonymous movement, saying that's not what /b/ is about, /b/ is about mindless hate and "me too"-ism. And yet it continues in spite of him.

Because it's funny to have a reclusive internet personality of unknown real identity win a "serious business" poll? It's consistant with a lot of the other things that 4channers do. You just have to assume that their primary intent is to tell people that they're taking things too seriously.
Their most famous acts beyond Project Chanology were the Habbo Hotel invasions, right? I've been there, it's all people taking their online life far too seriously and forming balkanised cliques. When the anonymous posters from /b/ invaded it was a dose of absurdity to demonstrate just how stupid it is to treat these things as important.
I was bored enough to raid habbo a few times. It was pretty pathetic, but not as pathetic as the people getting worked up about it - it killed time and was good for a chuckle until the mods b& every black man, showing their inherent racism.
Influental as in "the world wouldn't be the same without him", not as in "ordering people around". So you could say the poll sort of reflects reality, selection bias and ballot stuffing taken into account.

I'm not sure if you want to click on any of these links if you're in Australia, though.
Ain't illegal to hit the banned sites, just to link to them. Until the bullshit filter is active they aren't blocked either.
