I'm pretty sure Jeff is the first inductee.I had those guys on my list for sure.
And Po. We can't forget Po.

There's no way Jeff, Po, Bob are not in in my mind. I think you and wd should get in initially too as prolific and contributing mods.
But if the first year is only 2 guys only, yeah, it has to be Jeff and Po.
Can I nominate Big John? How's that for a blast from the past...
I just want to know what is planned for the CROTOR wing.
Is this all the love this idea gets?
I know it would be a lot of work, work I for one would be willing to put in.
And this is not a joke.
Come on any further input? If there just isn't the support or people think it's a bad idea just say so. I won't be arguing the point. I just would like to know.
I think we'd also have to pay homage to the historical characters
hagrid was my original co-author but life got in the way and he had to pull back

Active Bloggers qualify?? I always thought you had to be retired for 5 years before you could be nominated for the hall of fame.
I've seen no crocodile tear-filled press conferences with Blog members announcing their retirements yet.
Would we have to retire from the blog for 5 years to be eligible?
I think I'm leaning with darklord on this one.

Obviously, making people wait for 5 years after retiring doesn't make sense for a blog HOF. You have to include active bloggers, but there should be a waiting period (e.g., minimum of 2-3 years as a blog member).

While we're at it, why don't we have an indication for how long the person has been a member, I've been coming to CelticsBlog since late 04 or early 05 and I'm relegated to PJ Brown status, like I'm a midseason pick up who hopped on for the championship ride. That's annoying. I know I don't post often but I've been a loyal CelticsBlog visitor.
I think he was suggesting that the member registration date ought to be included on every post - just like the post count is. It's a good idea.While we're at it, why don't we have an indication for how long the person has been a member, I've been coming to CelticsBlog since late 04 or early 05 and I'm relegated to PJ Brown status, like I'm a midseason pick up who hopped on for the championship ride.

You can see the date a member registered in their profile (in your case, December 30, 2006). That's when the current version of CB opened (or thereabouts).
We could also have CelticsBlog Superlatives, you know like they have in high school yearbooks.

TP for making me chuckle, Brick. And no, it's certainly not infamy...I was just about to post to clarify that I was just messin' with ya....but glad to see that there was no need for that. Always enjoy chatting.
That being said, the SW HOF would definitely be way too much responsibility for me. What a burden to bear. I'd have to hire a selection committee...

One little problem you may have not considered. If you nominate these guys for people to say all these nice things about (well deserved) you also open it up to people arguing AGAINST them being in the HOF (often well deserved too). This then becomes a personal attack on their comments/intelligence/opinions. Since that is not allowed on here, then it really becomes a forum of nominating everyone with no one able to contradict their worthiness.
The nice thing about the TP's, is that you can give Kudo's to someone about one comment, while thinking another is absolutely wrong.

How about a "Ring of Honor" then that only Jeff can place people in. You could have a nice little area that you could see the information you are talking about.

There could be Threads of Fame, Posts of Fame, Subjects of Fame, and Articles of Fame.
i think it is a fun idea, but i honestly dont think we should have it. we have tp's and stars with threads for each for posters to congratulate and recognize posters' contributions. i think adding a hall of fame could potential create issues for people (not myself, as i think its a fun idea). people may start to get egos, build resentment towards others, and worst of all....post with an agenda, rather than keeping it real.

yes Hagrid the eye.
before becoming a mod, I was mad at him sometimes because I thought he always was "regañandome" ( sorry i dont know the word for that its like when a dad call his children for doing things wrong) but then I understand his role and after that I always look his Mod. method and learn from there.
I admitt I use the thing he used with me a couple of times.

Quite honestly when I envisioned this it had very little to do with distinguishing actual members. It was more of an idea to preserve the CB history if you will. The internet being what it is, who knows what Celticsblog could morph into some day or if the people who currently run it will be running it.
I thought it would be cool for once a year we induct maybe two people, a famous thread, a famous post, a famous article, a famous interview, a famous game thread. The people thing wouldn't even see non staff or non officers of Celticsblog being inducted for years to come.
I thought it would be a cool place for new members or people who are thinking of joining to browse through to get an idea of who and how this site was put together and some of it's finest stuff.
It was a well intentioned thought that had nothing to do with distinguishing members. I did ask for some stories and such from the staff and mods, openly in this forum but got next to nothing in response.

Nick,
It doesn't seem like the time or energy is going to be drummed up for any official section for a Hall of Fame, but really none of the other accolades dished out here have any official CB sanctioned place either - they were just started up and carried on. The pages for 1000 posts and 100 TPs were just started and carried on. Hell, I felt like a TP Pageant would be a great idea, so I went with it, and we had some fun.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you (or someone) wants to start the process of making a CB Hall of Fame, just start a thread in the Forums, make some parameters and see what happens. Plenty of worse ideas have been met with plenty of enthusiasm and participation. (7 pages of discussion on Apples and Oranges ;D )
I just don't know that we're going to see a home page section devoted to the CB Hall of Fame or something like that.
My two cents on the idea.
That's exactly where I would go as well....great minds must think alike. ;D
p.s. when time comes, I'll probably nominate a few "living legends" in Bob Day, Roy Hobbes, and FLCeltsFan. Plus that kid Steve Weinman has a great future ahead of him ;)
Anyone else visualize the crowd during the first induction speech looking a bit like this (switch the red shirts to green)
(http://www.swampie.net/Portals/0/Ohio%20State%20Crying%20man.JPG)
Well my vote for first inductees would be without question Jeff and Master Po.
Second I think the Game 4 game thread vs the Lakers has to be without a doubt the best game thread this site may have ever seen. The downs and ups and amount of response and the pure emotion involved made it just an unreal thing.
Third, Roy's article on the salary cap might just be the most referenced and informative article I've ever read on the front page of this site. Considering the amount of times that cap questions come up, it was as educational a piece as any I've seen here.
How the 100 Tommy Point thread couldn't be elected as a thread is beyond me. It celebrates the accomplishments of our membership, is outlandishly funny at times, and is probably the most prolific in CB history with no end in site.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.
We're going to give this a go, I think.
I willing to help anyway I can. Just PM me and anything I can do I will.

Just some ideas:
I thought about having a vote to see who would make the initial group of inductees and then I thought, isn't that being a bit presumptuous. This is Celticsblog and it is someone's baby, so to speak. So besides inducting Jeff I think it should be Jeff who decides who are the first group or two or three groups to be inducted. After his choice of inductees the initial time maybe the inductees decide together who to nominate and Jeff decides who is inducted.
My reasoning here is that the guy at the top, Jeff, knows better than anyone else who has been most important to this site and who deserves such honor. Heck, there could be someone behind the scenes who none of us have ever heard of who could be instrumental in Celticsblog being what it is today that needs recognition. Jeff, more than anyone knows who these people deserving such credit are. Also, there could be people involved at earlier stages of Celticsblog that are no longer a part of this community that few here remember of know about. Jeff would know who those people are.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of turning this into some sort of popularity contest. It should be filled with contributors who Jeff and maybe later on others truly helped to shape, preserve, and nuture CB into what it is.
I don't think I can stress this enough. I think it would be a huge mistake to put the nominating and voting of members into the hands of the membership.
Something that might be interactive for the membership could be the nominating of posts, threads, articles, and interviews and then possibly the voting on the most deserving of those pieces. There could be an area where there would now be posts of the year, thread of the year, article of the year and interview of the year. A thread could remain open all year for people to nominate these pieces. The Hall membership could narrow it down to three and then membership could vote.
Then, each year, just as everyone is returning to CB for opening game, Celticsblog could reveal its newest inductees and the results could be announced for the yearly awards.
Anyway, just a few ideas.

LOL, exactly Steve. You just explained why voting from the membership shouldn't be used, zerophase. Perfect example as to why voting for entry should never be used, All-Star game balloting. I couldn't have come up with a better example.Just some ideas:

A note on the locked threads purging. This is something I do manually once a week to keep the database trimmed up some. SMF gets a little cranky when it has over one million records in it and we're way beyond that. I move out all Locked threads and also all Moved Topic notices older than seven days. The way I do it doesn't affect "stickied" threads though. So if you did go with one or more locked threads that were stickied they wouldn't be affected by the database cleanup.I willing to help anyway I can. Just PM me and anything I can do I will.
Thanks, nick. For right now, what would be helpful is things like:
1) ideas for the nomination process
2) how voting is done
3) in the event of Hall of Fame threads, are these archived, or kept active?
... and any other ideas people may have.
What my preliminary thoughts are (building off the ideas of Jeff, Bob, you, and others) is to have a sub-forum dedicated to the Hall of Fame, where only staff members can start new threads. I'm trying to figure out if we want to do it like our Announcements forum (where only staff members can post in threads) or keep it like a normal interactive forum. Ideally, I think we'd have some threads that are interactive and some that are not. The easiest way to do this, of course, is to just lock the threads we don't be interactive. However, our software purges locked threads after a certain period of time, so that's not necessarily the greatest option.
Anyway, I'm bringing some of these thoughts out into the public to show that just because the staff isn't *acting* on an idea, doesn't meant they're not *thinking* about it.
forgive me for forgetting the followingI haven't been around much lately other than to do basic database maintenance and such, but I have to 2nd or 3rd this. Master Po did a masterful job with Mr. Bill. It definitely belongs in the CelticsBlog Classics category.

and then vote for inducteds
I am all in and nominate as usual PO if theres no other nominated yet?
saludos
p.s. I dont remember if theres was already a inducted class, last year
Po Jeff and Green17 should be the introductory members, for sure. CFanMiss Probably too. That should be enough for one year, yeah?
Hey Chris, how long have you been around? I remember when Roy, WD and Edgar were all made staff, but I don't remember you so I'm guessing it was before then?
ahh yes, it is the offseason isn't it?Wow that site takes me back....

Good ole' Ricky Davis days. They were good right? :-X
As I said when starting this, I think the first few years should just be automatics.
1st year should be Jeff, celticmaestro and Master Po.
2nd year should be some behind the scenes people Jeff might want to honor.
3rd year through 5th years should be some longtime contributors.
After that, let the CBHOF membership vote on who they think should be inducted. I think the full membership of Celticsblog voting would be wrong. Let the Hall of Fame membership decide who to bring in and why and Jeff gets last say and approval.
For the life of me I can't remember when I joined. I think this is the third site platform I have been on, but I don't remember that wordpress site at all (of course that doesn't mean I wasn't going to it then).
I remember that playoff series very well. I felt so bad for Perkins in game 6 coming off the bench cold to try and win a game from the line....ahh yes, it is the offseason isn't it?Wow that site takes me back....

they weren't as bad as some make them out to be - that team with Davis, Walker, Payton etc. did win a division title (for what that was worth) - but they imploded against the Pacers which gave everyone a bad taste in their mouths

You know how you have to be retired for a certain ammount of years before somebody can be considered??

unfortunately, i predict this causes drama. glad to see nick is running this and i think he will do a really good job monitoring, editing, and all that other good stuff.

i hope it works out and feel confident it will with nick at the helm, however, i think the chances of petty drama are high during the process.

What would Celticsblog be without petty drama? We need something to take over now that the draft is almost concluded. ;)
Personally I think a member should at least have a couple of stars before being considered.How active you are certainly should matter. But quality is more important than quantity.
You know how you have to be retired for a certain ammount of years before somebody can be considered??
Do you think we should have a stars/TP level in order to be deemed worthy of consideration?

I'm not sure. I think the staff is going to leave a lot of the criteria / qualifications stuff up to nick.

It's a great movie, but "Roy Hobbs" is Paul Pierce's nickname among the training staff, and it's also the name he uses at hotels on the road.

I would also like to think that will will have separate child boards for permanent members in the HOF that might include a brief CB biography on that person(if they care to add any real biographic information that will of course be welcomed but never expected), some of their best and most famous pots, threads, and contributions. Another child board for HOF quality posts, interviews, front page articles, threads, and so forth I think will also available. And off course their will be an interactive area for member and guest comments.

Jeff, I know this has been asked a million times, but are any of the old forums from the old sites still available? I know I saw some of the archived blog posts, but wasn't sure if the forums survived at all?
Excessive use of scrolling text is an automatic disqualifier for ever being voted into the CBHOF. ;D

server issues, virus issues, and various other tragic events caused us to lose a lot of archived posts - so the short answer is no, sorry
There should be a side thing for people who were here when it was celticsblog.net. Maybe not the hall, but something.

I definitely agree with this. We have TP's and stars, maybe add a little banner (you know like championship banner) for someone who's made it in the hall, if that's at all possible.
FLCeltsFan needs to be in there. Don't take the daily links for granted!
And if you have a sig from Reggie's Ghost, then you definitely know he deserves the recognition!

Agree with everything here. Obviously some sort of logo would be awesome, a mini banner or retired number thing...
How about a glorified shamrock of some sort? Simple enough, yet recognizable and appreciated site-wide.

I'm cute.
"What am I contributing to Celticsblog that makes me deserving of extra recognition by my peers?"
I had to create a new account when the site switched interfaces/servers one time.
I had a nice account going with lots of posts and TP's, but it all got flushed down the tube >:(
I've built my account back up to soemthing respectable, but I wish all my stats (from old and new accounts) could be combined.
Hopefully I"ll be a part of the CBHOF one day

Not for nothing, but haven't people been talking about Pierce opting out since at least last season?

However, it's not like you invented the possibility, you know? I mean, heck, I talked about it in my FAQs at the beginning of the off-season, and I wasn't the first person to think of it, either.

I made the thread and it got shot down by many (including you) as a highly unlikely scenario. Pierce was asked about it soon after I posted and said it's something he'd be willing to discuss. That in itself feels pretty good... I'm not claiming to be the first to realize he has a player option, but I don't recall a thread on these forums about this specific topic and the likelihood of him opting out.
If it goes down I will be right and you will be wrong and the opposite is true if it doesn't. There's no gray area for either one of us to argue or persuade.
Is that about right?
