I will do it again this year 'cis I think it's great for people to get this sort of recognition. And again, I think the thread you're doing Mistaken is a great idea too.

keefmoon Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Rather than just a link to the post, would it be nicer for the Hall Of Famers to have their names on the front page of this thread? Just thought that way people don't have to bother with going in to the old thread, their names are there for everyone to see on here. Sorry to keep butting in, just trying to help :o Also, just to throw it out there, is there any interest in a 2008 Hall Of Fame? I hadn't realised it is about 16 months since the last one (thought I did it at the end of the year last time, not midway) so if people are interested, I'm more than happy to run it again.

If your cool with it, I would be more than happy To post The winners on the front page. I will give it some thought.

eayragt Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Wow, this made me go back and read my 2005 diary, expecting in to be rubbish, but realised it definately outshone my 07 diary. Interesting when you get back to look at things with fresh eyes. There's not many there that I haven't read, but I'm certainly going to give them a go.

mistaken Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Please take a look at post #2, (make sure you scroll down) let me know what you think of my proposed redesign. should I go through the work to update the table to the new look, or leave it in the white and black? do you like the Writes name separated from the diary, not underlined (and not hyperlinked)?

keefmoon Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like the style on the 2nd post, make sit look a little different, and the HOF thing looks cool too.

As well I am thinking about a format change. First Post Hall of Fame DOTM Second Page Annual awards any thoughts? -I am thinking about doing this so that Hall of Fame stands out when you first enter the thread. As for the AAs I really want to do right by them and put all of the winners into a table of their own, as long as G-prime and D16NJD16, don't have a problem with me borrowing their work, and publishing it in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
