Id recommend they have set hall of fame targets: I.E Most Main events won, longest DYM streak, longest HU streak. Jackpot winners etc.. or otherwise give it a year there will be a massive long list of achievements that nobody can be bothered to read through and defeats the idea. You could then have a seperate section underneath for other notable achievements, like James' triple TSP wins in a row. Reds at the WSOP etc... Posted by FlashFlush

+1 Less is best! or the True achievements are devalued! Longest streaks is a good idea cos it gives the incentive to go better
Most consecuative sets hit when dealt a pocket pair - Fins (1,754*) Most bankrolls built from scratch and then lost/spent - Greghogg (53*) Most times a player has quit poker, only to return the next day - The_don90 (17) Most consecuative flopped flush draws that got there - Peg1 (31,785*) Most times a player has left the site, only to return the next day - Lucy7777777 (1,483) * And counting.

I think this is a terrific idea and weirdly enough I mentioned a hall of fame on Dylan's thread without even realising that this thread had started. Great minds, Dunmidosh...
Fwiw, I think it should be a very select list i.e. someone is only inducted into it once in a blue moon and only when it is patently obvious to all that they have achieved something special and is fully backed by the entire community. This way it's not devalued (like the WSOP bracelets have been recently) and means a big deal to whoever makes it.
As an also-ran I think it worth mentioning that Mick Jenn winning the premium monthly Roller twice in a row was pretty staggering.
But for my money- I think Redmond should be in it for his WSOP exploits, Scotty77 for his GUKPT final table and Dylan for being the first, and who knows, maybe the only ever winner of the jackpot.
Oh, and me, obviously for winning the first ever Sky Poker Tour side event. I admit, this is a bit more a tough sell ;-)

I certainly think TIKAY would be deserving of a place here in some shape or form for all of his efforts to help SKY POKER get where it is now

lest we forget - IRISHROVER on the WORLD Leaderboard for most consecutive DYMs - probably the best achievement by a SKY POKER low stakes player ever!!!!!

Yep, forgot about that one. No complaints from me there- a genuine achievement under the Sky Poker name. Dennis would get my vote.
So I make it Redmond, Ryan (Scotty), Dylan and Dennis.
Glaring ommission from me on the original list for the Sky Poker Hall of Fame: Tikay - the Grandfather of Sky Poker. For his relentless work on teaching new players strategy, etiquette and that burgundy rarely works on TV. Posted by Sky_Dave

This sounds the best idea to me.

Acebarry should be in the hall of fame
for promoting 10 handed deepstacks relentlessly in the early days of this forum, when the average turnout was 3 people.
Legend!
