Reporters also referred to the GNAA as a group.
In her 2017 book Troll Hunting, Australian journalist Ginger Gorman identified the president of the GNAA as an individual from Colorado known as 'Meepsheep'. Known former presidents of the GNAA were security researcher Jaime 'asshurtmacfags' Cochran, who also co-founded the hacking group 'Rustle League', and 'timecop', founder of the anime fansub group 'Dattebayo'.
Other members included former president Andrew ' weev' Auernheimer, Daniel 'JacksonBrown' Spitler, former Debian Project Leader Sam Hocevar, and former spokesman Leon Kaiser. GNAA has also been documented as having been loosely affiliated with the satirical wiki Encyclopedia Dramatica.
