Many have come and gone to include big investors both with funds and creativity. Some folks I know that have been here for the long-haul include, but are not limited to:
@shadowspub - Founder of Pimp Your Post Thursday (PYPT)
@dreemsteem - Left for a short time but returned. Founder of the Dreemport
@wesphilbin - An USA Veteran who is known for his positive input. Founder of Daily Thoughtful Posts. Very active with The Terminal project
@thekittygirl - An IT expert, she has been very active over the years all across the blockchain. Very active with The Terminal project.
All of the above people have given their all to promote and grow the HIVE blockchain. They focus on aiding new users to navigate the blockchain and though not well known, their altruistic actions speak for themselves.
I made a post some time back (past time to vote on) that features these folks:

I hope that you are having a good holiday season. As we all know, the HIVE Blockchain can be a bit like my Marine Corps... a love-hate relationship. Hang in there buddy. Everything works out eventually.
oh ye haven't seen @dreemsteem in a while, hope she gets back to posting soon!
A good list there, think I follow most and/or have heard of them either on chain or in discord and will gladly support them more because of what they do.
Hey Acid :)
I'm still here - but in the background more than posting.
I've been focusing most of my time building, finished another novel this year... branched out to DreeMedia for some fun shows! Most recently, our new game DreemWorld has taken almost all of my time and energy. It's a niche game for writers, but if it ever spreads - it will onboard more Hivians. As a matter of fact - someone just signed up this morning and asked for help to sign up on Hive! :) Part of our onboarding process is gently offering that they would have more fun on the game if they were able to also sign up for Hive... as some of our options require a Hive account ( Marketplace, having the ability to design new accessories to share/sell - etc.)
so yeah... maybe a few more trickle into Hive through us! hehe
As far as my writing here on Hive - it felt like it reached a point where it was no longer needed. I guess those of us from the old guard hit that point eventually. hehehe I hit my 9 year birthday 3 months ago... so yep. that would be me :)
Hope you're doing really great - and hope that you have a fantastic year ahead of you!
Thank you so much for your response and vote. I, like you, have always been a big proponent of the social aspect of HIVE. Have a great day!
@sgt-dan...
hey Dan - hehehe just now seeing this! Sorry I missed it :)
Thanks for always being you!!! Loved seeing you the other day and getting to hang out with you for a bit!!! Don't be a stranger, my friend- you are well loved! 😍
