Creating a Figure Realm Hall of Fame Section

Posted in Off Topic

I have a idea for Figure Realm to create a Figure Realm Hall Of Fame (HOF) section on the site. Many great and elite customizers from the past contributed and inspired many with their work to make this website what it is today. With a Hall of Fame section many new customizers can learn the history of this site as well have knowledge of the great customizers that lay the foundation to make this hobby great and for all to remember and honor their names,avatars, backstory and resume of their fantastic custom figures made when they were active. There should be a selection process and voting system on who will get inducted to HOF. The first customizer that should get inducted automatically should be Glen Webb. He inspired many and his work and craftmanship speak for itself. All Great artists should be remembered and never forgotten. A Hall of Fame section would be honoring these greats and their legacy on the Realm! Hope ppl like the idea

Regardless what happens, personally I feel that great customizers should be recognized and immortalized on the realm for what they done for the site. A historic Hall of Fame showroom of the great artists (active and inactive) that passed thru this site over the years.

There's lots of technical aspects of this I simply don't get.

I like that this idea is getting some traction, tho. Figurerealm is a mainstay of mine, like 4 real. I'm really happy w/the way it operates & I'm happy 2 see ppl stoked about new ideas to add some icing to this already delicious custom cake.

I'm not a fan of the idea, but...

Even if I was, I'd rather have the site converted to a more modular, modern platform to give it an overhaul. Right now it's a pain in the ass to get any new features added because Captain Coder has to write the code for all of it manually. He can't just "drop in" features like you could with a Wordpress site or something.

You peeps are welcome to try and convince Cap to update the site though, I'm just a grease monkey here

...yeah,I've tried to convey some understanding for perhaps some problems on I.T. in case of wishs for change on the site although I don't know something about it.but I also think it's not a bad idea to recreate the site completely.may there are some other problems about costs,work or may the most keeping all informations (customs,profiles,comments, tutorials,etc...) saved while doing something like this? hey,this leads me to another question I'm really interested in...: how/who was/had this site originally been made? all by captain coder (one person?!) alone...?

As far as I know Cap built it all himself from the beginning.

Would be nice if we could transfer the Showcase, comments, etc., to a new platform/site, but Cap would have to write the scripts himself to convert all the data on this site to the new one. I'm sure the forum would need to start over, but it's not a big deal.

I don't think it would be impossible to transfer the site, but I don't know how much time he has, or how much the new upkeep costs of the site would be.

Again, everyone email him and try to convince him lol

of course this is a wonderful idea! like relaunch some new type of contests I think...but okay,that's easy to suggest for people (I'm talking about myself in general^^), who don't have to do the work on this...so maybe that's the reason why there's not really a response from official side? it would be cool if other members could do something on this too,but I mean...the call for more contest managers also have been a fail already I have to say I would have done something like that too,but I'm always and still a little unsettled of what people may think about a "newbie" doing something important here... hope your great thought will be heard and realized,vic!

I'm happy about the positive feedback on this post brothers. Showcasing Hall of Fame customizers thru pictures and backstory may inspire newbie customizers. Immortalizing their avatar's is the least that realm can do from the talented artists that contributed their amazing customs on the realm over the years.

I also dig this!
U can certainly put the MVPs in their rightful place but there can be other categories (Which u hinted at, Vic) like teacher of tutorials (Doc Nightmare now Henchman 4 Hire) Friendliest customizer ( En-Ryu, The Real Question ) Bizzare/Obscure entries (Patraw) & we gotta acknowledge THIS universe's watcher: CAPTAIN CODER!

I think Glenn and Coder should be the 1st inductees. You know none of this would be possible... RIP, Glenn!

Great idea! There are a few pioneers that are no longer doing it and it would be great for the next gen to see the art behind the madness!

Yes that is exactly the customizers who I was referring to.. or current customizers who keep inputing their great work over the years encouraging and inspiring others to keep this great hobby alive on this website.

Thanks man..I feel the Realm should honor the greats to preserve the history of these talented artists that contributed to this awesome site so they can be remembered and not forgotten and inspire future customizers

That is a fantastic suggestion for an added feature to the Realm! What do you think Captain Coder?
