Poker Forum Hall of Fame

Ste05

During our discussions about the upcoming Forum awards, an idea came up to have a Poker Forum Hall of Fame and to induct 1 poster into it every year.

Here's how it will work. Every year we will induct 1 poster into the Poker Forum Hall of Fame, the criteria for eligibility is that a poster must have been a member of boards for at least 3 years (so Join date before November 2006) and must have at least 2,000 posts.

This will be seperate to the Forum awards and I'm putting it up before all the rest to allow you all to discuss who should merit being inducted and what criteria should be used. We'll then have nominations and then a Vote.

It'll be slightly more drawn out then the Forum Awards themselves and so I'll probably allow a week or so for discussions on the idea itself (if people think it's sh1te then we'll just bin it) and what criteria people think it should be based on (there can obviously be multiple criteria), then another week for nominations and then a week long private poll to decide who gets in.

NOTE: Usual rules apply when discussing people, no personal abuse, if you don't like someone who is mentioned keep it to yourself and big up someone else being spoken about. We'll just delete negative posts about posters because they haven't chosen to be discussed, this is to be an entirely positive thread.

So have at it fellas... Good idea? Bad idea? Meh internet nerds?!?

I think its a very good idea Ste. Biggest problem is that there will be many posters deserving of it.

Still, I'd like to nominate Luckylloyd. I have to say that I really enjoy his posts and he talks sense on whatever issue he contributes to.

But if it goes ahead, the first one would have to be El Stuntman imo.

Surely if this goes ahead the first induction should be a group induction in recognition of the lads who made the forum; Lafortezza, Mewso, Kraken, et al.

Having not been around in those days I don't know everyone who is eligible to be fair but surely that is the best place to start.

Tbf you are no more of an original than all those Bundy, Dahmer wannabes. Kraken and Macs are probably more deserving.

+1

Hyzepher,Lafortezza, Mewso, DeVore, Amp, Papa Smut, Henbane, gerire, Mr. Pudding, Juan Pablo, Marq, Spiritus, KenCleary, Whiteshadow, Davey Devil, Krusty_Clown, Samson, & KarlH (I've probably forgotten a few from back then )

all contributed massively to getting this forum off the ground and keeping it running back in the early days when the Fitz freeroll was the big tournament and games at the Batflat were the glue that brought the posters together.

Leprechaun Poker representatives.

Lafortezza

CPT?

So, apart from the post that nominates a group of people, there are only 2 actual qualifying nomination posts, and one of those is clearly a joke nomination.

I think this particular one might have to be retired.

Ste didn't ask for people to nominate in this thread. He's only asking it it's a good or bad idea. If he asked for nominations, that would be a whole new ball game and i'm sure we'd get a lot more people on the list
