15 votes so far - there are 70 users in the GTM Discord alone. Can we at least double the 15? :)

I just saw this.

I hope I don't forget to vote when I get home from work.

There is one member that has to be in the hall of fame. Not saying name but I hope people haven't forgotten about that specific member

Hall of Fame may be getting a rework based on your nominations, this system hasn't worked particularly as intended, but please still nominate.

Everybody is using up all 10 votes and the user pool is so big that nobody's collected more than 10% of the nominations?
Title: Re: GTM Awards 2016 - Voting Open!
Post by: cephalopod on December 28, 2016, 05:57:27 PM
No, people have got over 50%. It's just debatable whether some of those people should be the first all time GTM hall of fame members. There will be a system involving what I've been given being used as nominations and then a more formal and more closed vote on just those nominated.

It's just debatable whether some of those people should be the first all time GTM hall of fame members.

Based on this, I'm just wondering if it's because a lot of current member aren't actually aware of the early days of GTM.

I know for a fact that having given some retrospective thought, I didn't vote for a good 4 or 5 members who are probably more deserving that the ones I voted for.

I guess it may work in this way, but I'm of the opinion there are names that should go in almost by default, regardless of whether people have voted for them, or newer members have heard of them.

Maybe we should do Historic Hall of Fame and Modern Hall of Fame. Members that have been here since 2007 are Eligible to the Historic Hall, any who came afterwards for Modern.

It will be people who deserve to be in it for what they are doing today, and not what they have done in the distant past.

Halls of fame are about the past. If you want something current, bi-monthly rankings in various fields would be better and voting would be kept current.

Voting us officially closed but I likely won't be able to look at votes for the next 10 hours or so, so some leeway if you still wanted to submit. I'll post here when I'm tallying votes to close the unofficial extension.
