	Apolytoners Hall of Fame - A place to keep it Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Markos and Dan...

While I know the Apolytoners Hall of Fame elections are not really official, and they just represent how members feel about their fellow members... Wouldn't it be nice if there was some permanent place on the site where the information could be kept and viewed. Now, people only see it when the elections are running, and then it disapppears until the next round of elections.

DC has put a lot of work into this, and it would be nice IMHO. I'm sure that DC would volunteer to keep it updated

What do you think?

And what do other people think?

To some extent... yes. However, I also wanted to get a feel for what members thought on this issue... and to use their comments as further reasons why this might be a good idea...

While it is not an "official" function of the site, it is definately a site tradition. Markos and Dan...It really would be nice. Thanks for considering it!

"Official" is matter of terminology and perspective. This has been conducted long enough that it has become part of the texture of the site. I didn't even realize this was not "offical".

I think it's a great idea Ming.

We could have a hall of fame link.......or actually a second one.

I'm all for it, as long as it's made clear what it is (and isn't).

Couldn't they also make it a forum announcement or something? If I understand correctly what that does, that could make a link appear on top of all forums. That way he won't have to post a thread in every forum, but just use one thread, while still reaching everyone.

If there is one thing DC can't be accused of, it is not providing enough information. I'm quite sure it will be made clear what the hall of fame is and isn't.

Having said that, I think it would be a great idea.

Nearly 30 hours since Ming started this thread and no answer from the Owners. This doesn't look good. Let's just hope they have both been busy somewhere else.

The way the fall is conducted now, its exposure is some what limited to the OT and the community forum. Although DC's been doing a great job bringing it to the other forums, the on topic posters still may be less aware of its existence. For this sole reason I would support Ming's suggestion of giving it a permanant place where it resides and other people have an equal chance to view it.

This should have been put in a PM. See ya in a week.

A good idea, Markos & Dan, you should consider this . Indeed, the HoF is so much a tradition now that it's official almost in a way, and the proposal really makes sense.

It is an excellent idea. The little things REALLY extend the life of a forum. And bring in new people. And keep the old ones around. etc...

It is called "The sense of Community"...and 'Poly definately has it. It is the many little things like this that we share that makes all the difference.

Yeah I support this idea.

The Hall of Fame needs a permanent location.

I think permanent location is a bad idea after all.
That way, less people will vote. Perhaps we should have one general HoF thread, and just redminder - place for votes threads elsewhere, without a need of being updated?

I think he is confusing threads and locations.

When voting time comes around, the multiple voting threads throughout the site will (likely) continue to be put up so that the voting period gets a large amount of coverage. The permanent HOF location is possibly similar to the links at the top of each page. One link lets you see the hall of fame, rather than having to wait every 6 months for the next round of voting to occur.
