   Now, I'm not asking which have helped you the most, but rather, which hubbers do you believe have had the most influence on you here - good, bad, or otherwise.

      those that have influenced me the most are a huge part of why I choose to stay here and write because they have helped me so much.
      
      and they continue to help. I read all of relache and darkside's how to hubs, sunforged, paul edmonson, adore uninvited writer's opinions and numerous others. it's a great community of people and once you start naming people, others come to mind also!
      but I'm sure I wouldn't be here if I hadn't read the above hubbers hubs.

   Although there are many Hub writers who have showed me a lot here, both by example and direct input in forums (DS,Relache,Knowles,Misha,MW,)..when I think about the answer would be Lissie, she is everywhere! , I run into her posts and articles all over the net at a  regular basis, she uses the same avatar and I swear I run into it at new places a couple of times every single week!
   
   It proves to me that working and writing everyday can lead to a significant presence even on this massive internet

   This is a very hard question to answer but I will.
   
   So many hubbers have influenced me but none more than Darkside and Relaches.
   
   Those 2 are a great source of help but they also tell it like it is.  They pull no punches but yet continue to gain respect.
   
   Many more have gained my respect like Knowles, Dame scribe and so forth.  Just too many to list.

   I am inspired by the entire community of hubbers around me. I feel like I could ask questions of each of them and get their own take on just about everything.
   
   I have had my differences with some, but I'm confident that as an individual person they can put aside their petty issues and assist in my learning.
   
   I take pride in everything I learn from others.
   
   So, with that said- I Pledge Thanks To All Hubbers!

I'm sure she's not aware of it, but I have read most of her posts all over this forum for the past 3 days, and I have learned more from her postings than the FAQ's and help section here at Hubpages.
    
    Relache, you don't know me, but thank you for all your help and your overwhelming kindness you show to everyone. Its a true inspiration.

    Relache, Darkside, and Mark Knowles, ya took the miserable little dust speck known as Yoshi and taught him the ropes of Hubpages through all of your postings and hubs.
    
    Currently, Sunforged is my mentor, without his knowing, as he has very strong knowledge on how SEO works through Hubpages and I listen to everything he says intently.
    
    There's also another - John - I wish I could remember his name here. He's shown up on my radar the past few days and has had some really good incite on how to get more bang for the buck out of HP.
    
    As for my inspiration to keep writing ... too many to list ... So many hubbers have brought me from a bad day to a laughter that allowed me to continue writing that I couldn't begin to thank them all.
    
    That's why I wrote this thread ... to see to it that some of the people who work hard to make HP a better experience for all get some of the congratulations they deserve.

    There are many of the hubs that I really like reading, but for me, there are two main hubs that I search for first.  It's because of the page content that I am strongly drawn to. Lyricsingray is one because my background is similar to hers as a recovering addict. the other one is myownworld because of her interests on world conditions, and suffering people. Their hubs always affect me deeply.
