Le Chuck:
Okay so a few of us have started bouncing around ideas to recognize BYOACs for contributions to the hobby.  This is different than the Hall of Fame because it could be done by category and will have a cleaner presentation.

I'm thinking that this would be done in three phases:

1)Nominations:  30 days thread window for projects/hacks/cabs/code given to the community within a certain timeframe.  Any user can nominate in any category providing the nominated project meets the criteria

2)Consideration by a yet to be determined counsel of members

3)Presentation of winners and runner up with critique of practices, implimentation, and lessons learned

Any interest?

Le Chuck:
List of potential categories:

Standard size cabinet
Cocktail
Bartop
Mini
Fightstick
Non Standard (think DrVenture's Arquadium)
Hack or Mod
Art
Lighting
Theme
How-to thread
Utility (code)
Automation
Refurb
Contribution to the Forum (kinda like a lifetime achievement type deal)
Wiring
Built

jimmy2x2x:
Love it!

Would like to see a rat-cab category, cabs build for peanuts with what you have lying around.

ark_ader:
Totally!  :applaud:

Le Chuck:
Rat-cab is a sweet idea, i love those sleeper builds that come out of nowhere for pennies.  

I'm thinking a gold space invader and a silver space invader icon for awards.  Nothing too flashy, small icon, little 3D effect, that's all.  All winners get the same icon and they are free to use it in their posts/signatures as they see fit or not at all.  

I'm also thinking about creating a user profile just for the project so it isn't tied to anyone and council members share that user profile for posting during phase two and three.  That way it isn't Le Chuck giving some guy an award but this non entity X.  After the council is desolved the council chair would change the password and bed the profile until the next time.  If the council chair passes the gavel he just passes the profile at the same time so the project can have legs so to speak.
