I'm getting votes even though I rarely post OT anymore. All these votes are for non-OT stuff too.

Isn't it true that most OT posters started right here in the Civ/SMAC forums?
So long...

Votes for on-topic posters should count for double. The disclaimer that "on-topic posters will never win" sours this whole Hall of Fame idea (for me at least). I see no point in handing out awards for what is essentially glorified chat.
My votes: alexman, Catt (yes, only two).

But you forget our legacy. 90% of those off-topicers once posted on the On-Topic... and please realize... they knew the people who made this site great... who kept the site thriving so that you, too could enjoy it!

Locutus is about to tally the most votes this round.
korn469 is not that far out of it.
ixnay is coming up soon, as is Catt. And then a bunch of other on-topic posters are coming up. It is only this vote and the last that have been posted on topic. It is now that we are being counted, don't quit now.
I voted korn, Aeson, and Paul (you most likely don't know him).

nye, not to worry, I'm not quitting. I guess the "on-topic will never win" comment got to me more than I thought...
Glad to see you're back.

I'm both on-topic and off-topic, but I'm not popular 
I really don't contribute. I have just been here a long time. I have been here since 1999 even though my screen name says 2000.
Jeez, almost 4 years. Maybe I should stop posting here. 
I really don't know who to vote for. I'm still thinking..

My votes, based on current activity:
Dominae, Sir Ralph, Catt.
Theseus and Arrian should have been in the HOF long ago. This alone shows a lot about this list.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me, but ...what were you thinking?!?

I haven't been around a real long time, but I do have an idea about those who have done much for this site. Theseus, the man who brought us auto-bombard, was responsible for compiling the Must Read Threads which should be required reading for anyone starting Civ3. Arrian's countless threads on Ultimate Power, Chariot Upgrades, and Early Leader Choices serve as blueprints for anyone who cares to win. These guys had very little reason to spend their time on these tasks, other than helping the rest of us. Without their posts, I would still probably be trying to make it out of the Ancient Age alive.
Alexman, you are basically carrying AU, AU PTW, and AU PBEM. Your dedication to the game and the people here amazes me. You created the "Corruption Calculator". What more do you need??
Special thanks to Dominae.
 Sorry for the rant, but I came to this site looking for help with an excellent game. I found it with these people.

I agree with alexman about Theseus and Arrian. But are we voting for recent activity (this appears to be implied given that the votes are monthly), or just who we think belongs in the HOF in general? I think Aeson most definitely belongs in the HOF, but he's been largely absent for over 2 months now...

 The most important thing I ever did!!
(I'm semi-serious there... )
Thanks for the comments, guys. In addition to some of the other specific people that have been mentioned (alexman, do you dream Civ3?), I've gotta turn around and give a BIG round of applause to Catt. In terms of ongoing input / posting, the quality and depth of his posts, attitude and helpfulness to others... I could keep going, but if there's ever any 'award' given around here he should be getting one

How did you Civ III guys come to visit the AC forum...
...I remember that she started Joe about a month or two before/after I joined in July 2000

What I am amazed by is that the people who are complaining the most about the voting... aren't voting themselves... 
And FNBrown, why must you troll this every time- you did this last time. Soon I will start ignoring you.

I am boycotting. But I may decide to vote for someone later. When does this close?
I have narrowed it down to about 10 people. but I still think we should be able to vote for ourselves. Believe it or not this could correct a lot of bullshit votes.

I believe voting ends tomorrow. As DC said, there's a lot of new votes to tally... I could point out quite a few that he's missed.

Oh, that was a FAQ that answered that... YES, on-topic posters will win.
And anyways- if you look at that list, there are only about 1 or 2 people who have only posted off topic.
All the others started in the on-topic... they just don't post here any more

Not really... the reason that the votes are monthly is so that
"flavor-of-the-month" posters arent elected
