Just an idea that pops out of my head : how about making some sort of "hall of fame" to remember all PF members that were once a guru ?

No ulterior motive there marlon? Only joking, I think its a good idea, after all past staff have a "retired staff" medal, so I think it is only fitting that past gurus should be honored.marlon said:Just an idea that pops out of my head : how about making some sort of "hall of fame" to remember all PF members that were once a guru ?

Moonbear said:I agree. People's efforts shouldn't be forgotten just because we give someone else a turn for recognition. I think the difficulty is that we don't exactly have a record of all the previous gurus (I think this was suggested last year too, and that was the same reason it wasn't implemented then). If we could remember the complete list we'd have done it already.
marlon said:I understand but i think that is easy to find out no ? Just open a new thread here and ask who was a guru before this year. Maybe some people will try to "lie" but also that must be quite easy to figure out since guru's will be well known here on PF.
Also, we could just start from last year's guru's (most people will still remember them) and gradually fill in the guru's of the years before.

Yes, look at gokul, it says "retired staff".Moonbear said:We have discussed a medal under the names of former mentors to recognize their past service...I have to look around for one of their posts to see if that was implemented.

The purpose of creating a "PF Hall of Fame" is to honor and recognize the contributions and achievements of PF members who have made significant contributions to the field of science and have made a positive impact on the PF community.
All current and past PF members who have made significant contributions to the field of science and have positively impacted the PF community are eligible to be inducted into the "PF Hall of Fame".
The selection process for inductees into the "PF Hall of Fame" will involve a committee of PF members who will review nominations and consider factors such as contributions to science, impact on the PF community, and overall achievements and accomplishments.
Yes, anyone can nominate a PF member for the "PF Hall of Fame". Nominations can be made by filling out a form on the PF website or by emailing the PF committee directly.
Currently, plans for a physical representation of the "PF Hall of Fame" are still in development. However, there will likely be an online platform to showcase and honor the inductees, as well as potential physical displays at PF events and conferences.
