Hall of Fame Nominations Thread

[DavidWoner]

In order to get this subforum off the ground we (the mods) are going to need some help filling it. Here is a discussion of what is expected for threads in this subforum: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...forum-proposal-serious-speedcubing-discussion

Post links to threads that you think belong in the hall of fame, and if we agree we'll move them in here.

Random Cubing Discussion is my favourite thread on this site. Nominated.

 

[MoRpHiiNe]

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?6085-How-to-Get-Faster-using-the-Fridrich-Method

This is my opinion is worthy of the hall of fame, if not atleast stickied in the Speedcubing Help/Questions thread.
It's very informative and helpful in learning and practicing CFOP.

I think this thread is must read for all speed cubers.

 

[JasonK]

Rowan's "how to practice" thread (Ninja'd)

Brian's BH tutorial

 

[StachuK1992]

Mike's BLD stuff. All of it.

 

[antoineccantin]

One answer question thread.

 

[MrIndianTeen]

Accomplishment Thread.

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...equently-Asked-Questions.-READ-BEFORE-POSTING

I believe that simple things like this thread should be read by everyone. We could avoid so many questions if everyone would just read this first.


EDIT - While people may consider something to be their "favorite" thread, it doesn't mean that it's worth being in the hall of fame. For example the one question answer thread is a good thread (IMO) for the hall of fame since it would provide "nubs" with a place to ask simple questions. Accomplishment thread however has no inherent informational value (IMO) other than people posting PBs which would just get washed away within minutes from posts. Again all this just my opinion of course. I'll leave the decisions to the mods.

 

[Clayy9]

Do "resource threads" like 'Compiling: List of methods' and 'A Collection of Algorithms' (kind of) go in here? What about home threads for methods: 'ZZ/ZB Home Thread' and 'Petrus Home Thread'?

[not really a nomination, just a question]

The OAQT is meant to be a containment center for stupid repetitive questions, aka the opposite of what the Hall of Fame is about. It absolutely does not belong there.

I'm still unsure about tutorials, even excellent ones. It'll definitely have to be a case by case thing.

Edit: Tutorials stay where they are.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Right - tutorials are already in a great place as is, and are very easy to find. They should not move.

 

[Cubenovice]

I think you should not move anything.

The hall of fame is a nice idea but it should not be a new sub forum, make it a link list instead.
Just let it look like a seperate sub forum, showing the thread headers like in a regular forum but leave the actual thread in it's original location.

It may be hard to believe but some people may actually look for specific stuff in a specific existing subforum

As an alternative; couldn't the "powers that select" rate existing threads so that they move to the top (or can be brought to the top via a button) in their existing sub forum?
I would love to be able to pull up "the best stuff" per sub forum.

This.

EDIT: I apologize for possibly side-tracking the conversation. I should have posted this concern in a different thread.

 

[teller]

That thread where everyone made the shortest scrambling algorithm in various languages

The thread title probably ought to be renamed; "My python one-liner scramble generator" doesn't do it justice.

I like this idea. The Constructive Speedsolving Discussion does most of what I initially wanted. A Hall of Fame system is a great bonus, but I can live without it if something like this idea isn't possible.

 

[mrCage]

A linked list here to "hall of fame" threads would be pointless or at least very subjective without some kind of voting/rating ...
