HALL OF FAME Discussion Thread

Let's have some more input on TD's idea.
I think it's a goer but let's see.

Not sure which of TD’s ideas you are referring to, but I’m sure I agree with it.

Also… some reflections on the following:

Are we generally in favour of this? If not please say so.

Three feels like a good number to me.
One night | One day | One “extra”

For night and day babes, I think a single nomination round and a single voting round is best. It keeps it a little “gamified” and entertaining for the forum, but doesn’t become a little industry in its own right.

The “extra” is just my placeholder to allow for some mechanism which recognises those ladies who deserve to be in the HOF but would never be voted in because they’ve lapsed from Forum memory. Not sure what that mechanism is. Both the ‘eras’ and the ‘legends’ ideas seem to be attempts to address this, but they both have their flaws.

Assuming there are ‘no bad ideas’ in brainstorming, I’m gonna float one really bad idea: how about organiser’s prerogative? If someone is willing to step up and run the show, then how about if we let that person review whatever campaigns and pitches are made in the pre-induction thread suggested by TD, and then puts a pre-selected shortlist to the members for a straight up-and-down vote?

Are we in favour of this?
How do we want it to work?
Do we want clear start and end points of each era?

This seems a little complicated to me. Simpler is better — not just for the voting public, but also for the organiser. Lovely of Snooks to offer his time to do the research of who falls into which era, but if this turns into a hugely time-consuming exercise for someone then it doesn’t seem sustainable.

As a general rule, I think it is prudent to steer well clear of any suggestion that came from Goodfella.
