NOTE: NGamer64 has been removed from the list due to the fact that there is a 0% chance that he would not mark my post and get me banned again so yeah.
8. lefty
Lefty makes this list for one reason and one reason only: He is bar none the user with the strongest dedication to his convictions. I've been on this board for like 6-7 years, and for the majority of it I and many others liked and respected l3fty. He was a funny guy, if not a weird one at times, but still never really had issues with him. He could have lived the rest of his internet life in peace, settle down with a nice girl, and retire as a respected and well liked member of board 8's greatest generation. All he had to do was simply remain civil and keep any sort of controversial beliefs to himself, and he would be alright.
Enter BIGPUN and the collapse of his life. The guy was the living embodiment of Murphy's Law. His life sank to the point where he had no choice but to ask for charity, and did so on this board. Many people, friend and foe alike, sympathized with PUN to help him get through this life crisis. Even those who did not donate kept him in their thoughts and prayers.
...Except for one man. One man...who could not believe what he was seeing. One man...who did not believe in using Board 8 as a means to an end (the end being giving yourself a sliver of hope). One man...who just would not stand for the injustice that was so apparent to his eyes but was ignored by the blind masses.
Lefty had a choice to make. He could sit idly by as BIGPUN and his family received the help that they so desperately needed, which would allow him to maintain the warm reputation he has enjoyed here for years. Or he could do what was necessary. What had to be done. What so many refused to do. He had to take action. He had to stop this madness. Lefty knew what was at stake. He knew that this choice would mean he would never enjoy the same amount of user contest votes that he was used to in the past. He knew...that there was no going back.
He stuck to his convictions. He caressed his e-pop tenderly one last time, and then began mass marking BIGPUN's pleas for help. When the last message was marked, he wept. Tears of sorrow fell from his left eye in remembrance of his e-pop, while tears of joy fell from his right eye, as he knew that he had ended both the extreme injustice that had been unfolding as well as BIGPUN's family chances at getting back on their feet.
This act of valor has doomed lefty to never win another user contest again, but at the same time, it has earned him a position on this great list.
Coming up...
I'm not really sure yet...
