First of all, I would like to thank the dozens and dozens of posters that have inundated my inbox with their support and encouragement to continue fighting for this idea. From the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how much that means to me and how much energy that gives me not to give up. Because giving up on this idea would mean giving up on this community and those that through time, effort and sweat made it what it is today.
AF should have a Hall of Fame section where the cream of the crop get inducted every year. To be on the ballot, you would need to have at least 1500 AF points AND have been a member on this site for at least 2 years. To be eligible to vote, you would have to fulfill the same requirements. To get elected, the member would need to receive at least 75% of the vote. Voters can choose multiple people on the ballot. Chad has the power to veto any induction.
There would be a page on the site dedicated to the hall of famers, with a brief bio, a few links to some of their greatest posts and a few remarks from fellow posters giving their appreciation.
This is a clever idea to remember our best contributors for eternity.
The price is too high not to do it. We can realistically live a situation where, a decade from now, a new poster is asking “I keep hearing about this bchad character, who was he”?
