SA had quite a few semi-celebs posting there who got banned or driven off.
- Kate Beaton posted briefly before getting sick of the creeps and white-knights and leaving.
- The Toothpaste for Dinner guy (Drew Fairweather) had a gimmick account there and wrote some front page articles before leaving for Weird Twitter, along with dril.
- TotalBiscuit got driven out after a glorious idiotic post about how high his IQ was.
- derek smart Derek Smart DEREK SMART was the moderator of the old Star Citizen subforum until he got banned for what the admins claimed was doxing, but wasn't really.
- Josh Sawyer (Obsidian writer - FNV, South Park Stick of Truth, Outer Worlds) posted under the name Rope Kid until he got fed up with neckbeards calling his games shit
- Neil Cicerega got banned during his Lemon Demon days (to be fair, he was utterly obnoxious as a poster).
- Both Notch and Moot had unremarkable posting careers there before they got big. Because Notch posted asking goons to help him test very early alpha versions of Minecraft, Lowtax to this day claims that Notch owes him money somehow. He also hates Moot for similar reasons.
The most "famous" person who lurks here I reckon is Pewdiepie. He seems to have his finger on the pulse of what goes on here. And there's of course the small army of Metokur wannabes who crib their material from here, Deadwing Dork being the foremost. Metokur himself was clearly a lurker but I'm not sure if he still is.
