Hubdub Hall Of Fame
Valornhonor mentioned this to me and we both agreed it was a good idea
so this is what we were thinking:
A hubdub hall of fame "HDHOF"
it would entail the following and possibly more;
-List of people who held the number 1 position in net worth at any period of time
-list of people who have has 500 or another number of questions successfully settled
-Other things like most gained in a quarter
Do you guys like this idea? and do you have any more suggestions for what should be in the hall of fame?

Inappropriate?I think we should shelf this idea, while valuable, until Hubdub has at least been around a year. We are not even out of beta yet.
-
Inappropriate?There have been ideas floated about trophies, badges or bling of some kind of to be posted on people's user pages. That might be a nice solution to your suggestion.

Inappropriate?I'm not opposed to the idea, but in my opinion Hubdub hasn't been around long enough for a consensus to form about what the significant qualities are that would allow induction into the "Hall of Fame".
While question creation, settlement, and net worth are important aspects of Hubdub, there are a lot of Hubdubbers, who have invested quite a bit of intellectual capital to help Hubdub, who would be bypassed by this proposal.
I challenge the HD community (including me) to devise an HD Hall of Fame that honors all of the qualities of an honorable Hubdubber.
I’m in favor of the idea, but would like a broader net.

Inappropriate?Great comments all!
I concur, a year under our belts would likely be a minimum amount of time before making a declaration about a Hall of Fame status of any kind.
Also, I'm thinking that this could be a vehicle to improve and refine the site and make it even better than it already is... and I already think it's great!
Here is an idea that I'd like to throw against the wall to get opinions about...
Somewhere within the "About" information on this site could be a description of the kinds of good things that result on this site, news prediction yes, but even deeper than that, a rippling kind of entertainment and education that is not easily duplicated by people just ingesting news as individuals. Further, an explanation could include some of the things that as a community we value, such as the fast acquisitiion of knowledge, the ability to learn about other people, places, events in a variety of contexts, courtesy for each other but still vibrant communications, you know all the good things about getting together with your friends over a pint to try and speculate on future news events, just online.
Then, assuming some kind of minimal consensus about what we all value, what if there was a forum that members could, from time to time, maybe quarterly?... Nominate another HDer to a Hall of Fame status, then the admins or maybe the whole community to vote up or down for inclusion and the honor could be held for a while.
To keep it from getting out of hand I'd like to suggest that a "cost" be associated with nomination, say either $500HD or 0.001% of a person's net worth, just to keep the nominations serious.
Personally, if we had such an idea the kinds of things that I'D like to see as potential reasons to nominate would be things like:
1.) Creativity in marketplace creation.
2.) Courtesy in communications.
3.) Timeliness of replies.
4.) Low ratio of voided questions.
5.) Recognition of unusual, non-standard perspectives.
6.) Good grammar and prose.
7.) Humor
8.) Ability to be succient.
9.) Broad range of proficiency, ex. not just sports or not just stock mkts.
10.) Consideration for the sheer volume of wagering that a HDer had stimulated by their created questions.
11.) Above average participation in the site.
12.) # of referred new members.
Please let me know what you think!

Inappropriate?i agree with everyones comments above
how long has hubdub been around now? 6 months?
but i guess we should wait til we exit beta
anybody know when we are planning to do so?
keep hubdub running strong! i love it!
I’m confident

Inappropriate?I like this idea. But I was thinking that rather than just being an extension of the leaderboards or the badges/awards, it could be a little like the Guinness Book of Records. So it's not just a list of names, but questions as well. Spitzer would be there, the top 5 or 10 activity questions, the most creative question, even a wall of shame for the satyaki/blueseamiamis of this world. It would function as a best-of-Hubdub section, and should be as interesting as possible (it might be a great introduction to the joys of HubAddiction)
-
Inappropriate?Wow, I'm so impressed with all these ideas guys. There are some super ones. I personally (NOT an official response!) think this sort of thing would work brilliantly as a wiki. And I'll certainly speak to the team about it.
We're always so impressed with the amount of time and effort dedicated Hubdubbers put into the site, and we definitely want to have some way of showing their brilliance, other than pure hard (fake) cash!
It's all fantastic food for thought, and we should be able to focus time on it during the 2nd half of this year.
Thanks, and keep the ideas flowing!!
Lesley.
I’m proud of our Hubdubbers

Inappropriate?Hi everyone, like Lesley says, wow - there are some great ideas here, thank you all for suggesting them. We are really excited about putting together the Hubdub reward structure that includes levels and profile goodies. We'll be starting to take feedback on that soon - and in it we definitely want to reward all your Hubdubbing efforts and community participation, not just your cold hard virtual cash. The Hall of Fame is probably something that can come after that, once we've been established for longer (as a number of you suggest) but it is a fantastic concept.
