Hall Of Fame

I was just browsing through the One Ring today and stumbled upon something that I had no Idea existed.

What I am of course talking about is the OR Hall of Fame! I just thought I would give this wonderful little page the attention is deserves and bring it to some other peoples attention.

This also made me think, hmmm.... what else is there about the One Ring that I did not know about or have yet to see.

I was wondering what little obscure pages and things were there that other members were surprised to find here at The One Ring?

Regards,

I was surprised to find people discussing things related to Lord of the Rings actually.

Except in chat late at night. That's the best bit.

The Hall of Fame is closed now though some people have the icon as they were in there.
The Chatroom - place of legendary nonsense.... but I have not been in there a lot of late and any time I have it has been empty - cowards!

Everyone talks about how wonderful the chatroom is, but I can never seem to find anyone in there when I'm on the computer at home. At work, it is blocked.

Well that explains why it was so hard to find!:-D

Although it was nice to see, just a collection of some of OR's best works.

Sadly yes, the Hall of Fame is closed, as for the chatroom, it used to be really busy in the early days of the hobby, however many of us are finding that real life has taken over and have very little time to spend in there, although I do frequent it as much as possible.

Another issue with the Chatroom is that members live in different continents and actually being online at the same time is also difficult.

Please dont let this put you off, I would love to meet new members in the chatroom, but sometimes patience is a virtue, just because you join and there is no-one there, dont just leave straight away, someone will pop in at some point.

The Hall of Fame was a gallery original intended to host the best that our members could achieve, but it became embroiled with the regular painting competitions we ran and the winners from that were put in there as well. Unfortunately, the standard of the winners was sometimes not up to the standards we set for the HoF and so it kind of, well, lessened its importance. Plus, many people were bugging us to have their work included in it and, frankly, not a lot of it was very good.

So it was a noble concept that wasn't very well thought through. Oh well.

And the chatroom, whenever there are a couple of people in there, is always a laugh! Very much worth a visit, and if you are looking for painting or terrain making advice, is often a great place to ask questions of some very talented people (and DurinsBane).

@Admins:

You really ought to bring back the HoF. It might encourage people to make more articles, and maybe we could even vote for Articles to be put in there! Like the One-Ring Awards but with Articles! (and now you read my signature as if it means something grand and important.)
