Qadgop the Mercoten
Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor

Diogenes the Cynic
Bricker
These five names always stick out when I visit.
Perhaps a little of each, mon frere? 
Additionally, I must confess a bit of a guilty conscience as I believe I was the first one to post what might have been a reciprocal name…i.e., yours. I was concerned about the propriety of doing so at the time, but then I figured, “Hey, the OP said the first five,” and that included you so I went with it.
But I felt slightly skeevy nonetheless, and that feeling was what led me to post the question that exposed my dreadful lack of acuity in regard to your most amusing and self-deprecatory post.
My most humble apologies, my good man. (Hic!) :: stumbles off muttering of port wine and paint smears ::
Excluding moderators and administrators:
Qadgop the Mercotan
Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor
Tamerlane
Aldebaran (rehmatullah alaih)
Polycarp
WRS - He with the never-changing signature.
Got you fooled. I’m really a manic depressive hermaphroditic chihuahua.
With apologizes to any manic depressive hermaphroditic chihuahua’s out there.
I could make 4 or 5 different top-5 lists depending on the subject. But going top-5 famous (not favorite or adversarial) Dopers:
Scylla (Imagine if Chuck E. Cheese were piloting the blimp?)
Reeder (Love him or hate him, you know him)
Bricker (See Reeder)
Diogenes (Good source for general history and some religious stuff.)
Shirley Ujest (Secret Santa coordinator. 'Nuff said)
In no order of preference
Diogenes the Cynic
Liberal
WeRsauron
Grey
QED
Just because on the threads I tend to read these are the most frequent posters (in my mind, I’ve not actually counted or anything)
Opal Cat
Dio
Miller
iampunha
NCB
I’ve heard of Wally and JDT, but they were before my time.
Eve, Guin, Opal, Poly…?
Wow. Four mentions and I’ve not even posted to the thread.
I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.
During her heyday, jarbabyj would have made the list!
If you’re doing a search for him, try Esprix, as that’s his screen name properly-spelled:)
[sub]Jaade-lurrrrrrrvin…gotta get some more Jaade-lurrrrrrrrrrrvin…[/sub]
Qadgop, Polycarp, Sam Stone, and Owlstretchingtime would be my top four. Number 5 is a toss-up between Angua and PaulBerserker
I suppose a lot of it depends on what forums you go to most often. These names came to me first.
Scylla
Eve
Polycarp
Liberal
Reeder
HM –
Opal (people are still using the Hi Opal thing, and most of the time “incorrectly.”)
december
Esprix
lieu
spoofe and spooge – They are different people. Aren’t they?
and for me, the great famous gay posters (in addition to Esprix)
Shampiro
Otto
Gobear
matt_mcl
Jay-Jay
Let’s see…
Eve
OpalCat
Lobsang
Diogenes the Cynic
SPOOFE.
Others to consider: Qadgop the Mercotan (however the hell you spell that), Bosda, Polycarp, Rude, lieu.
Dishonorable mention: Shut the fuck up Donny (one of the first things I read on the site, I think) and the Grapist.
Haven’t been here very long… lets see…
Shirley UJest - for her frightfully boring and mundane posts… 
Kythereia - our very own flirt goddess
Guinastasia - because I started noticing that no matter which thread I open, she’s already posted there
AwSnappity - because she owes me $500
QED - just because I need a guy on my list.
Mine was because I can’t stand you.
And here’s a smiley to doubly annoy you! 
i’m kidding, for the humor-impaired. well, mostly.
WallyM7- Because even I know about him and I wasn’t on the board when he was around.
Roland Deschain- I don’t remember ever intercating with him myself but I know that he was a hot topic in and out of the pit.
Diogenes The Cynic- I don’t know it’s the name
FlamingBanannas- Youngest Female Doper
I have 4 but maybe one of these names belongs on the list
Lobsang
Kel Varnsen
Gobear
Polycarp
there are so many High Profile Dopers it’s hard to really say who is the most “famous” of all time. If I had of made this naming High Profile Dopers then the list would be a page long at least.
Lemme see, off the top of my head, I can think of;
Chronos, Quadop the Mercotan (doctor of some sort?), Spoofe, Johnny LA (who owns an MGB ) Mangetout (although I had to scroll back down to properly recall his name)
I’ve been around a long time. I’m listing by whom it seems like I’ve most encountered:
Gaudere
Polycarp
Triskadecamus
Spiritus Mundi
DavidB
December
Elucidator
Tir Tinuviel
Incubus
The Grapist
