New category - "Hall of Fame"
I need a new category as a status a member can have and this is "hall of fame", which means retired member that is still associated with the group. Like Hobbit for us - an almightly FairLight legend but none of the existing categories work for me. Inactive member is the closest but simply isn't close enough! |

some are respected and some are not. Nobody should decide manually in that. |

Think I'll have to agree with Bacchus for the most part here, if not totally. Although Jazzycat has made a valid point. Those that were, back then were the innovators. Sure people followed, as will and always do. But kudos is reserved for those that did, when "doing" it made a difference/standard... ?comprende'?
As a game fixer I'll always consider say for example: The Mind Slayer/INC as a legend. Because he was, and looking at his work he deserves that title. I think Stormbringer, Horizon, Pudwerx and other ntsc's would agree. He was one, if not the 1st of ntsc-fixer perfectionists (or as far as we could get something to work as close to the pal orig. without raping it)... yet is he on the charts?...hmm
Oswald, while I don't know who you are nor do I have anything against you, I have to disagree with you. Inactive means this to me, if you were not there then, you were NOT there. We quit to move on to other scenes/systems and dreaded as it may seem...real life.
Kudos speaks to the deserving and while I still think the "Top..." is outta wack, its the voters opinions. Don't really matter as I know who did what and when...
To the werds of my main man Ali G...Respekt! Go chek it..

Yeah, TMS did a great job NTSC fixing and yet he isn't remembered the same as Pud, Stormy or the rest. How is it that some guys are forgotten and yet others are placed on a pedestal?

A few reasons why certain NTSC guys aren't in the charts here:
CSDb is very PAL centric, majority of guys here are from "over there" and clueless about NTSC importing groups and/or NTSC scene in general.
Majority of guys here didn't have a modem and/or cards to call boards in the late 80s/early 90s. I'm looking at the logged in users on the right side of the screen here and of the eleven listed I remember none from my early days on boards (1988).

Hope these aren't local boards that you speak of Molly ;) |

Another thing is that hardly anybody on this board was on the local meetings we had in Veenendaal, Holland every month, so that automatically disqualifies them as being 'legends' .. |

No, the boards I spoke of were group boards. I don't remember a Jazzcat either. ;)

Moloch: strange, as even back then I was on the boards, maybe not the ones you were on. Anyway, guess the same can be said with the Euro boards, that was another scene within the scene also.
Hall of Fame is just a pipe dream as there is only very few sceners that everyone would agree upon deserving such status, the rest is up for debate like everything else that has an opinion attached.
