GTAF Hall of Fame?


Recommended Posts

This forum has been around for 20+ years with nearly 900k members, several of whom made a name for themselves in the community in some way or the other. I thought it would be nice to start a Hall of Fame of sorts for GTAF.

 

Doesn't have to be a super serious concept, the members don't have to be active anymore either. Just think it would be interesting and something funny to follow.

 

Say every year you could induct 4-5 members who historically contributed to the forums over the decades and/or who the community remember for whatever reason.


What say? I'm ready for y'all to tell me to touch grass btw :)

Lmao, bro really exposed me like that😭

 

But for real, even if it happens maybe it would be best to leave it to staff selecting the inductees than a voter's poll, but before getting ahead of ourselves come on what say, yay to a GTAF HOF?

@String should go in the hall of fame for having the most account deletion requests made by one person.

There's so much history in this forum since 2001, from the most shocking to the tame, that it would probably take quite a while of digging to even make a hall of fame, not to mention things that were lost in time lmao.

All that history would make it more fun imo. It probably doesn't have to be super accurate/legitimate but it will probably be worth it I say. I don't envy y'all the task of making one :sadkek: but do consider it if you feel it could be interesting, even if not immediately. 🙏

Is having the biggest warn log fameworthy?

Slamman wins on that one, by a very large margin. Six pages.

f*ck I gotta catch up!!!!

Can we start a fundraiser for this?

This is a great idea and probably a lot easier for staff to maintain long-term versus the Annual Awards.

 

It'd be quite a project to get it up to date with old/existing names since there's a lot of history to think back on, but I think there's a lot of potential in this idea going forwards. Let's hear some suggestions for inductees...?

 

 

  • Like 1
  • Best Bru 1

For the first few I came up with few names mostly from the early years of the forums. My knowledge of what happened back then is barely anything lol but:

 

Tank is maybe the obvious choice for a first ever inductee

 

I think anuj made quite a name for himself wielding the banhammer back then? Maybe him too

 

The infamous Slamman 

 

illspirit once had a join date of 1976 so just going by that fsr i think they would have been a memorable user from back then and can be one of the first inductees too

 

Yeah those are my nominations for now, lol

 

Also I hope if it happens, both HOF and Annual awards can coexist. Like annual awards is more for the outgoing year in particular while the HOF would be more historically, taking all the years into consideration. But that can be a lot of work lol, and obviously I leave it to staff to decide on that. 

I think the main requirement for HOF's inductees should be that the user in question has a notable positive impact/contribution to the community. They shouldnt merely excel in statistics or forum's crime, but they should be influential enough to shape the forum into what it is today.

 

As a much newer user (joining 2020), I can't think of many names. It's gonna be good idea to interview much senior users first.

 

The HOF should also have its own section like the Forum's leaderboard instead of a dedicated topic.

I like this idea to be honest, especially given that the infamous crash deleted a lot of the history of the forum. For me, it's how you determine a HoF nominee, since for me it would also include people from the past who contributed enough to make people want to stick around, but didn't necessarily post anything newsworthy, if you get me. I could list loads in that category.
