ZooChat Hall of Fame

[Spike]

Forgive me if this is already a thing, but I haven’t seen it and feel that this would be a wonderful opportunity to praise those who have changed this website. For some guidelines I think a member must have a minimum of :
1,000 likes
5 years on the platform
A general good reputation

I would like to nominate @snowleopard and @Moebelle to start

I have over 7k likes and have been on here for almost 7 years, don’t think I belong on the hall of fame though

 

[Paul.Haerle]

I would like to nominate our moderators @Chlidonias, @Crowthorne and @TeaLovingDave, our administrator @jobalba and the founder of this forum, @Simon Hampel for their work

 

[Nile Hippo Expert]

Here is who I would like to nominate to be in the ZCHOF for different reasons:
- Any annual "Thread Of The Year" contest winners 100% belong in the hall, those being @CGSwans, @lintworm (four times), @snowleopard (twice), and @amur leopard, as well as @pachyderm pro, who started the whole concept of this competition.
- Any members who have started their own zoo; @MRJ, @Batto, and @Strathmorezoo are three I know of for certain.
- Our staff members, @Simon Hampel, @jobalba, @Chlidonias, @Crowthorne, and @TeaLovingDave, and any other past ZooChat staff members.
- Members who have continuously been regularly posting/uploading on the forum for 15+ years.
- Members who are in the top 50 posters/media uploaders.

I just remembered three more people who belong here, @devilfish, @LaughingDove, and @jayjds2, the three lucky winners of TeaLovingDave's "Lucky Bastard Lifetime Achievement Awards".

The first users I would have added have already been spotlighted. I would say @TinoPup and the member formerly known as Neil Chace deserve some recognition, the former for putting so much work in maintaining population threads and just being very knowledgeable in general and the latter for his Best Exhibits for Mammals thread and similarly for being very knowledgeable, especially about primates.
