redsox Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Just curious as to why the "thank this topic" option was taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac34 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I know this probably isn't the best place to post this, but it's my only option at the moment. For some reason unknown to me, my IP has been blocked over at EA Mods. I have no idea why, as I didn't do anything to warrant it. I assume it's just a simple mistake and I'm hoping someone can fix the problem. I don't know who to talk to over at EA Mods, but I would guess that the mods at EA Mods also post here. So if anyone can tell me who I would have to get in contact with to fix this, I'd very much appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was going to post this in the Shoutbox, but it got to be too long. I think the solution to the HOF problem is simple: As a whole, I think we can probably select a group of 30 or so longstanding members that we'd trust to make proper decisions, or at least balance each other out. Nominations for the HOF would come from those folks, who would provide a defense of their nominee, and then the group of 30 (Baseball Modders and Members of America [and other places] -- BBMMA[OP]) would vote once every two months to induct five people -- four modders and one member, perhaps? The impetus for induction should not be popularity, but whether or not the person in question had a true impact on the modding community. This is something that can be argued and defended by the nominator. A secret sub-forum could be set up with a vote-five poll option, and that way there wouldn't be public arguments about who voted for whom and why. I also propose that we, for no other reason than to say that we elected him in his first year of eligibility, make Buck O'Neil an honorary inductee. Folks I wouldn't mind seeing on the nomination committee, off the top of my head: Trues SeanO Hory DJEagles Kraw Pirate KC Fuzz (Is he still around? I think he's blocked me!) Fred13 UncleMo Homer Stecropper Y4L Jogar RaptorQuiz HardcoreLegend Carter BigBully Jim825 Totte Fizzjob Paulw That's 22. Under my plan, we'd only need eight more, and I know I'm leaving a bunch of people out. I think a group like that would have a sense of history for the site, a knowledge of what the modders are providing, and enough dissension that some potentially useful debates could arise. Thoughts? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 MarkB would be another on your list AstroEric. Spungo, HFLR (the modder who headed the Caribe mod) and BigO. Carter may be tough to get in contact with. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was thinking BigO, but I think I combined him and BigBully in my head. BigO is what would happen if SeanO and BigBully mated. I totally just forgot about MarkB and HFLR (sorry!), and for some reason thought Spungo didn't come around these parts anymore. Those would all be fine additions, I think. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 To expand on Eric's idea, I think we could even have a couple of different sections of the Hall: 1. MVP Modders/ Graphics Artists 2. MVP Mods Most Iconic/Crazed Members 3. MVP Mods Baseball Players Section. ...and yes, Buck O'Neill should be an automatic induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started it out pretty well and I'm sure a lot of the others can think of names that the both of us forgot. I read out there that Kraw doesn't think this is a good idea, but I don't know why as of yet. Whatever his reasons are, my main concern is not to offend or omit any modder who has worked on anything in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 That was my main reason for only letting in a handful at a time. That way, you never totally deny anyone, you just keep them hanging on to that little thread of hope before taking it away from them every two months.

krawhitham Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I have multiple reasons and could go on forever here are a few 1st no matter how you slice it, it will be a popularity contest 2nd to be in a HOF you need to be retired, no longer making any mods. This is not like real sports where your talents decline and you retire. If you are retired as a modder, you QUIT. I'm against rewarding quitters 3rd since it is a popularity contest some will be offended, either because they were not included, not included fast enough, or pissed off because someone else was included It is just another fight and a way to split loyalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone stops modding, I wouldn't consider him a quitter. It is a three year old game, and at some point, modders will stop modding. And let's be honest, there have been a COUPLE of modders who have quit, only to come back and make more mods. Fact of the matter is, these modders, like you know, don't get paid for their mods, so if they "Quit", then all the more reason to respect them. I have respect for anyone who takes the time to make a mod for the pleasure of the public. I don't consider them quitters. Any modder who has stopped modding, has their reasons, and I respect that. ...and don't sport stars who retire, really just quit? It' sthe same thing, expect modders do their "job" for free, and I think they deserve some recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point How do you know who is really retired If you have a HOF, NO HOF members should be included if they are active modders, SO how long does someone have to be retired before they are really retired 1 Year? 2 Years? 3 Years?
