Lloyd Sikes gets my vote for 2019. He sure has done a lot for this sport. Thanks Lloyd!

My friends.

I will admit it is a great Honor to be nominated. Something I will never forget and will be proud to hold dear.
I do not feel I am in any way in the Class that deserves the Hall Of Fame.

Several persons have brought up maybe doing some different Awards system in the future.
I agree with that and had planned to bring it up after this years round is over.

I did not expect as many of you to keep me in the running and I do thank you for the votes.
I'm touched very deeply but I am not one that deserves to stay in the running.

I withdraw and hope you all understand why.

With that said?

I vote for Lloyd-ss
He's a great Guy that has done a lot for our beloved sport.

Jeff aka privateer still has my vote.him bowing out to give another a chance for votes shows his true character and further more proves him to be worthy of such a honor to be in the hall of fame.

Thank you Bill for the nomination but like you I will have to decline. Yes, I may be entering my 14th year with the GTA, 10 of which I spent as a Mod and 2 as an Admin, but I am of the opinion that Admins and Mods should be excluded from the list, only because I believe that the GTA membership already recognizes the contributions and sacrifices of its administrative staff. We are expected to go above and beyond, and I personally consider it the duty of anyone accepting a staff position. If we had an additional list of top 10 "contributors of the year" I might have accepted.

All staff positions are voluntary. And for that reason alone I feel all staff should be eligible for this prestigious award. It should be based on the amount and quality of contributions a member makes to this community throughout the entire year. To me, it's an honor just to be mentioned.

I agree 100%

OK, maybe I'm the one confused here....

Is Hall of Fame and Man of the Year the same thing?

The way I see it..

Hall of famers are old timers who have near hero status.

Folks who consistently contribute day after day and ask nothing in return over the past year are Men/Women of the year. Isn't that a different award than the one this thread is addressing? I'm asking because the title clearly states "Hall of Fame" and I know we had a "Man/Woman of the Year" last year.

... and BTW.... I agree... mods and admins should be included.

All the picture on GTA's front page are labeled Man of The Year.
Rocker1's is labeled Person of the year.

What's up with that?
(Totally expect to be shot for pointing this out!)

I do agree We may need to come to a different awards system.
Something that should be discussed in a different thread.

It's a stretch even at that.... (running and ducking)

If it is, in fact Man of the Year... my vote goes to Neil Clague.

Wow...
First off, it is the GTA Hall of Fame. Where our contributing folks are recognized. Each person voted in should be the same title and be considered to have earned the same honors as the other voted in recipients. With the exception of our founding fathers of course. I will say I feel a little odd making this post since I'm on that page but as the one that gets the blame for any forum issues, I thought I'd toss this out there. We can all decide exactly WHAT title should be bestowed on those we choose to honor but we are not just men, we are women also. Not sure Man of The Year is an appropriate title but.....
We can adjust as needed. This is still a relatively new thing for our forum.

If it is IN FACT Man of the Year? And NOT Hall of Fame?
I with draw my with draw.

Hall of Fame awards should be awarded to people like Scott and Lloyd as a matter of course.
I will go so far as to say both of them should be inducted with no further voting on them needed!
And I fully expect Rocker1 to empty several magazines into me at his next opportunity.

dv8eod · « **Reply #52 on:** December 09, 2019, 04:33:45 PM »

Seems pretty simple to me...
Person of the year for what they do in that year.
Hall of Fame for the actions taken to further our sport in the eyes of the public or unselfish service to the forum and society in general over time.

Privateer · « **Reply #53 on:** December 09, 2019, 04:45:16 PM »

Best PC correct title I can come up with.
Biological Entity of the Year.
Until someone nominates a DayState or something.

I agree Lloyd and Scott should both be put in to The HOF my reason for Lloyd is how much he’s done in the past and now he’s retired and is busy with Grand kids so he’s not active as much as before. Scott is and has been active and plain deserves to be put in way way or another. But like any HOF not everyone deserving gets in. I hope some day in the future to be part of the HOF but there are many more deserving than me so I will continue on and vote for those like Scott and Lloyd with my ballet
