2012 vpFREE Hall of Fame Election

It's the vpFREE2 Administrator that's on the list of nominees, not our vpFREE Forum Administrator. The vpFREE2 Administrator created and runs the database at vpFREE2.com which has been a separate entity from these vpFREE forums for almost four years.

This is silly ..how can our VPFree administrator not only be on the
list but also not already be in the Hall ?

I did not word the first part correctly..What I meant to say was not only should he have been on the nomination list but he should have already been in the HOF.

In 2002 the vpFREE Video Poker Group elected and inducted
five charter members into the vpFREE VIDEO POKER HALL OF
FAME, which recognizes and honors those who have made
significant contributions to the playing, understanding and
popularity of video poker. These charter members and the
2003 through 2008 inductees are:

Gary Catlin
Bob Dancer
Lenny Frome
Skip Hughes
Dan Paymar
Si Redd
Jean Scott
TomSki
Michael "The Wizard of Odds" Shackleford
Stanford Wong
Dean Zamzow

These members are honored on the Hall of Fame web site:

http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1955/20228/V/HOF.htm

Hall of Fame elections are now held every four years (years
evenly divisible by four) and a nominee must get more than
33% of the votes cast (every vpFREE member has one vote) in
order to be inducted. If no one receives more than 33% of
the votes cast, there will not be an inductee that year.

The 2012 Hall of Fame election will be conducted between 8
December and 22 December 2012.

For additional Hall of Fame information, see FAQ #60:

The vpFREE Administrative Committee has selected the following
nominees for the 2012 Hall of Fame election:

Linda Boyd
Jazbo Burns
Jeffrey Compton
Anthony Curtis
Liam Daily
Larry DeMar
Dunbar
Elliot Frome
John Grochowski
Art "5-card" Harris
Steve Jacobs
J.B.
John "Lodestone" Kelly
Frank Kneeland
Scot Krause
Hans "Tuna" Lund
Ernie Moody
Harry Porter

The 2012 Nominee web page which lists the nominees and a
short, video poker relevant biography can be viewed at:

http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1955/20228/V/HOFN.htm

Between now and 8 December, additional nominees can be
suggested by vpFREE members (along with their
qualifications), and the merits of anyone's favorite can be
expounded and discussed. Any suggested nominee(s) who
receive majority approval from the Administrative Committee
will be added to the list of nominees.

A Video Poker Hall Of Fame without Hans "Tuna" Lund in it is nothing but a joke. I suggest changing the name to The Video Poker Products Hall of Fame....because the only people in it are/were selling something.
