Yes, but that's just to place/match/confirm things that are posted on social media.

ex. a selfie of a T-72 taken by the Russian crew is confirmed as being in the Ukraine by matching the markings to a T-72 photo taken by a teen in the Ukraine between two apartments buildings with a round fountain in the background and a street number visible. They then use google earth to locate the exact spot, and someone else goes there and takes a geo-stamped photo of the same framed shot to prove that a Russian tank crew was operating in the Ukraine.

pretty sure Deadmau5 was on here back in the day. I somehow remember an Ask/Tell thread that he made or something.

Yeah, probably him but he got banned or ran out pretty quick. don't know how much he counts.

Yahtzee was a goon and first pitched ZP to be a somethingawful production but didn't get money from lowtax to do it so he's over at escapist

Totalbiscuit was briefly a goon and posted that long rear end stupid atheism poo poo and got banned right after, not sure if he counts either.

Vilerat, hypothetically might me the most famous, with all the conservatives going BENGHAZI!! but actually hes never really mentioned so idk.

Then there's Jeb Lund, helldump stupidstar, whose pretty famous in news poo poo circles and been on TV a lot (works at The Guardian)

Joseph Fink (maxnmoana) used to write a bunch of articles and switched to running his Night Vale podcast which I think is the most popular podcast right now so he's doing very well for himself with tours, books, etc. Also Earwicker was a mod here and also is involved in Night Vale, specifically the music but is always on tour with them and such. I think he's definitely up there for most popular goon
