And here's me thinking he's decidedly uncouth!

Sorry, couldn't help it.  S'funny, I've always pictured him as white for some reason.................................

I always thought usmarine was black, Lol.

Ahhh! Our self-glorification thread has gotten too big for its britches and is spilling over into the Junk Drawer. We high and mighty pricks feel that you are cheapening the value of this.

Sergeriver had more votes than Kmarion or usmarine, and a higher percentage of votes.  Why wasn't he inducted?

Also, please leave me out of future lists.  Not interested, and I wouldn't want to upset marine.

No matter how we twist this back and forth it will never be quite fair, like why do some get a backstage pass outside a monthly vote, and that sergeriver got more votes in the april inductee in difference to usmarine and Kmarion in the first vote when they faced Cam and ATG isn`t that strange !

In addition why is some a honorable mention while others is just a hall of fame of the month ? Segregation and elite members ftw!!!

I`m sorry to say this event was badly planned and gravely misunderstood from the beginning allthough the idea isn`t that horrible !

The regular users make DST what it is, not the Hall of Fame !

An improvement of the hall of fame system could be:

The guys that are voted in gets to be honorable mentions and the author of best thread of the month gets the under the green thingy !

Nearly my last fucking 2 cents on the issue !

Don't listen to those nattering naybobs of negativity.

Don't change a thing.

everybody should be inducted equally.  i regret making different categories.  if you're in, you're in.

Well this is a stat site with rankings..lol

I was thinking something along the lines of once you get member of the month twice you get bumped up to honorable mention. We should have quarterly polls to elect more leaders also. Just ideas.

I think Gunslinger should stay there with the honorable mention.  If he wins another poll, add a star next to him or something like that.  But he was voted and deserves to stay.

Personally I think those who win the monthly poll should be inducted into the honourable mention section permanently. We needn't have a poll every month - when those deserving of entry have all been inducted further additions will only take place when suitable candidates arise (>200 karma, DST regular, min of 25 votes for example).

Or how about more that 228 karma?

I agree.  Besides, people like The_Shipbuilder, Turquoise, topal, Bubbalo, Lowing and others, should be there without the need of a votation.

woah woah woah, Lowing gets in but not me?  The hell has this forum turned into?

Jokes, I just come here to read other people's thoughts.  I go through phases where I post a lot, don't post a lot.  I think that goes for a lot of people here.  I just have trouble posting my views on topics that seem to be covered before.  I love debate, but I love new, educational debate even more.

I also enjoy how more and more bf2s regulars are starting to post in the D&ST section!  Its not the same old CP/Serge vs. ATG/Lowing.  I created a forum account specifically to debate here after reading, hopefully more do the same!

Well, what's the difference between that and just having a thread saying.. here are our regulars . I think votes are a necessity behind the Hall of Fame concept. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings but a hall of fame should not be all inclusive (pointless). Candidates in my opinion should be chosen by their peers. The categories (or lack of) are open for restructure. Perhaps "Best constructed Opening post" etc.. We could completely level the member categories as well and just pick an amount we would like to have in there to start (10,15,25 ?). I want to give members a goal to shoot for. The way it is right now leaves a good amount of room for improvement. Keep the ideas coming.

It's whatever you guys would like. I think this idea will only help to promote quality content in this section of the forum and encourage involvement.

Involvement, yeppers, that is what makes it good/better, and I got my one objection/criticism utterly invalidated already! I wanted more mods in D&ST who actually participated in D&ST. And by no petition of my own it happened anyway. Co-inc-ee-dink.

Not entirely sure of that Kmarion, sorry to say but threads that doesn`t involve school shootings, terrorists or Bashing Bush will have a hard time reaching the hall of fame and frankly i`m sick of debating the variations of those 3 subjects.

I`ve seen many potentially great threads die because nobody cares enough about other very important issues

Sorry to say that but it looks so damn shallow and imho is a stain on the DST section !

I was speaking more to the member aspect, not the threads.

How about me and ATG bang heads together on future additions to the Hall of Fame? I'd be an advocate of keeping it special (an addition once a month or bevery two months with candidates having to meet strict criteria defined by me & ATG), not turning it simply into a list of regulars and additions being based on meritorious effort.
