OK guys here is what we have got. Rather than just creating a hall of fame (which will be looked at once by most and then forgotten). The mods think it would be more fitting to have an honor that is more perminant and enduring. Therefore we have decided to change the name of the Box pass and Contest forum to
Snusgetter's Corner (Box passes and Contests)
The first post of the forum will be a memorial sticky. We have not composed it yet but the plans are to incorporate a part of Snusoff's tribute to his dad in the memorial sticky, merge all the well wishes from the “Remember Snusgetter in your Prayers” thread after the OP (memorial post), and then lock it.
The thought is that this will:
(1) Honor Snusgetter in a lasting and visible way
(2) Celebrate his contribution here (rather than just a onetime memorial entry into a hall of fame).........note celebrate is the main term here.........a memorial is forever sad........a sub-forum would be a constant reminder while doing something snusgetter loved doing…....thus positive........ celebrating the memory
(3) Finally this avoids a class system of having some in the hall of fame and others left out. It also avoids the endless ambiguity and dispute over who should be in the hall........which in the end…....I believe.......would mean that the any such hall of fame would become a forgotten and unvisited section of the forum.
Personally, I agree with the other mods that this is the highest honor that we can pay a member. It is one that will become integrated and a central part of the forum life in a way that no other honor could.
And in the end, such is a fitting tribute to our friend who was so much a part of this community.
Thank you to sirloot and all the others who got the ball rolling on this great idea
