One name that i don't think has been mentioned is cincyredlegs (Mark) who did some great work here running multiple CU group rips.

I agree with most picks. Itzagonner helped me considerably when I was a newbie and will always be appreciated. My number one pick would have to be WalterSobchak specifically for his signature line that quoted the following - which still makes me laugh to this day every time I think of it.
"I'd hate to think that someone's condo burnt down because you and Patrick decided to spend the afternoon kicking each other in the nuts." - he explained where this came from several years ago but it stands on it's own merits.

morning Gents! seems like this might be a good idea. here are my thoughts.
1. I do think there should be only 1 HOF--for the famous and infamous. We can always include a disclaimer on their election as to why. Keeps it easier and will probably preserve the length of the thread
2. My suggestions on who/what can be elected : 1) active members, 2) inactive embers--good and bad, 3) banned members (I'll reach out to the CU admin about this), 4) Alts; 5) specific threads
3. Create a separate thread once we have agreed to all the criteria labeled CU Boards HOF Thread--or something like that
4. How many times should we elect per year? 1--2-3??
5. How many people allowed election per voting period--I say 5 max--Ruth Gehrig--oh wait--wrong class
6. how many votes needed to elect? Tough one since newer members may not know of the former members who really should be in--any thoughts on how many votes?
7. The goal would be for former members to get back here--so we would have to reach out to them in order to check back in and vote/be elected
Good to provide some names of potential HOFers here--but let's settle in on the criteria for now if we can
20 to begin, since there is a backlog. Then 6 per year. Forgot hall of shame members, why give them anymore attention for their misdeeds. Have a minimum number of years on the forum and min number of posts- 4 years and 1000 or something like that.

Keep it positive.
Some of the greatest members ever were banned. Personally I don't believe that should be a qualifier especially if the person or persons that got them banned are still active.

They were banned for their actions. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
thinking Griffins is correct--forget the Hall of Shame members. no more attn to them is right. I do think banned members should be considered w-the OK from the CU admin
remember they'll still have to be voted in--20 may be a little to high for the 1st "class"--maybe 10?

Ten votes seems good to me. How many members in first round?
I think post count is irrelevant. Lots of folks do a lot of talking without saying much. On the flip side, some say little but add plenty to the community. My line of thinking was you should have had an amazing thread/given to others/organized a group break etc. or are a positive influence on the board.

Evening everyone. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I would like the inaugural class to be inducted right around the new year. Seems appropriate. Few things I've gleaned from the posts and rules I would suggest going forward---
No infamous members. Good guys only
Banned members allowed. Subject to #1.
No minimum posts or years needed. Voting will control who gets in
Inaugural Class. 10 members. Thereafter 5 members per year for 5 years. Then we'll reassess
One class per year--voting just after the new year
Each January 1---Nominations will be taken. Thereafter 10 votes needed to elect a member. In the event more than 10 votes are received by members--only the top vote getters get in. Voting allowed only thru January 31st.
Did I Miss anything?
If you nominate someone--make your case as to why. We don't have stats here on the board--so point to a thread etc.

+1 on Snuffy, his photoshops are missed.
Muggy and BBG are guaranteed a spot in the Hall of Shame (can we get an exhibit for BBG's blue gloves?)
+1 on Nikklos for his rips... also JGF for his awesome football rip a few seasons ago.

I like that guy that had all the Griffey refractors. He didn't post much, but his shiny cards were cool.
I believe that was CNote (or something like that), and coincidentally he has the same avatar as you.

I think anyone with 2,000 posts should be in the CU board HOF :-)
Can't imagine how you arrived at that idea - one I fully agree with
