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! |

Bacchus, your elitist attitude is funny. Anyway we're talking of inactive memberstatus here, and not of ex members. Thats fair enough. You're free to make a temple for the FLT gods, but such a category on csdb is only good for your ego boost and nothing else. If your heroes arent recognized by the scene as uber god a new category here wont help much anyway. |

Mr.Z, Ixion, 3D, Strider, Hobbit, and Gollum will continue to be respected even though they're just listed as inactive and not hall of famers on CSDB. Some of our active sceners are highly respected, yet they're still only listed as coders, graphicians, and musicians.

..and one question still remains. Let's assume we created a "hall of fame" status, *who* would then have the authority to use it!? Everyone?! Admins!? Or maybe people that already have the "hall of fame" status!?!? Now this would get really funny in a while. Wouldn't we just create another "club of mutal admiration" Hmm, this goes better in Swedish.. "Klubb för inbördes beundran", Please help me someone :). |

I really don't think we need a hall of fame on CSDB. People are respected for different reasons. These reasons are like opinions and everyone has a different opinion.

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).
