HALL OF FAME Discussion Thread

(16-05-2026 17:51 )ryuken Wrote:  All the comments have been thoroughly thought provoking and made me think about these topics and possible associated questions.
Eligibility - what criteria a babe needs to meet?
Categories - what format do babes work in other than day & night?
Nominations - how many can we put forward?
Voting - how many rounds?
Inductees - Is it one from each category?

Then I also thought about these things, due to the mention of other HOFs and the popularity/longevity metrics they take into account, and the possible ones that we could use.
External - does non-channel content hold weight?
Socials - is their number of followers important?
Forum - does their number of page views on here matter?
Awards - what if they've won a forum award before?
BabeVidz - Should the number of views be considered?

Regardless of what decisions are made, I'll support them.

Excellent post Ryuken and expresses a number of the thoughts have have been swirling around my head so thankyou. I'd add a few comments around eligibility:

Awards - I would support some forum awards being included

I'd also support winning external awards being a qualifier for eligibility

We currently have a qualifier that girls have to have started by 5 years before each years voting starts. Should they also have worked for a certain period of time? i.e. is a girl who worked for 1 year as eligible as one who worked for 5, 10 or more years. Personally I see a girl who has worked for longer as more credible as it says something about her comittment and success in terms of channel employability.

Socials - some girls avoid them so not a true differentiator in my view and as an aside where a girl has her social media closed because some knob keeps reporting her even when she does not post things in breach of their rules (eg Danni Levy with over £250k followers on Instagram) then not a good measure.

Hopefully all these thoughts will help Snooks determine the way forward.

Hall Of Fame
Definition
A Hall of Fame is not a competition in itself, but rather an institutionalized award or honorary museum used to recognize individuals for their past achievements.

However, the selection process to get inducted into a Hall of Fame involves a highly competitive vetting & voting process.

What a Hall of Fame is -

Honorary Status : It serves as a permanent record, monument or exhibition to recognising exceptional career sucess or major contributions to a specific field.

No Direct Play : Inductees are generally retired or have past their peek, they do not compete against one another upon being added.

How it connects to a competition -

Pre-Induction Rivalry : to be enshrined, candidates must win out against other nominees. The "competition" exists in the debate over who is the best of the best.

I know it’s a hard thought to contemplate, but we must also plan for a day when this award is not run by the indefatigable Snooks.

Simplicity is key. I’d worry about the sustainability of a process that requires too much effort from one volunteer doing this in their own time.

I’m all in favour of individual voters taking these things into account. For those inclined to make a case for their nominees and their favourites, these things are fertile ground for discussion in the appropriate thread. But I wouldn’t expect the organiser to make an industry out of checking socials, counting past awards, calculating longevity between first and last day on the channels, etc.

I’ve always favoured a date-based cut-off linked to the models’ debut, but that’s a relatively easy thing to check. And even that can be ‘crowdsourced’ to the people doing the nominating — the organiser’s job is just to verify that all nominees are technically eligible.

Beyond that, I would only suggest the following. A variation on TDK’s idea for the pre-nomination discussion thread. It’s a post-nomination discussion thread: a chance for people to discuss and debate the various nominees and, if so inclined, to remind voters of things like socials, past awards, longevity, moral character, criminal records — whatever you like.

In short, I would keep the eligibility criteria as simple as possible to make life easier for the organisers. But I’d create a forum for all these other considerations to be surfaced and discussed.

Importantly, if this is to be a UK Babe Channels Hall of Fame, then the primary criteria that we all must consider is their performance on the shows, which is much clearer to define when we are considering Night babes, the visuals are a major factor, but we shouldn't overlook or down-play the interactive nature of the shows, primarily the phone call option was the original concept for the shows existence. That being the case the service & experiences we've had during calls should be a key factor.
The visuals draw the customer in & the call is the end product. When a call results in a good experience a customer will be inclined to call the same babe again, with the potential for it to become a regular thing.
I accept that there will be a percentage of voters who purely view the shows & never interact & it is unavoidable that they will have to draw conclusions based on just the visual aspect.
What I will say is, don't just assume that the most attractive babes are also the best babes to interact with on a call, experiences differ widely, some lack interest & imagination.
I'm not trying to be clever or smart here, or mean this as a criticism, its just a reminder. I question myself if I am even fit for purpose & qualified to nominate & or vote in this HOF. Personally I don't know how I can fairly measure one babe who I have interacted with a lot against one who I haven't or maybe not watched at all.
What gives me confidence is that some of us will have had good experiences with the same babes & the nominations & votes will reflect that, the cream should rise to the top.
I did a quick calculation & I came up with an average figure of those who voted in the finals of our 11 previous HOF's. The number came out at 44, the voting turn out has declined slightly, but not dramatically. A good comparison is the NFL HOF which has 50 voting members, so we are not for off that.

Taking into account interaction on socials, has to be low down on our list of priorities. Prior to OnlyFans & the likes, socials & even babes that interacted here on this forum had a more direct link to us fans & the babeshows, now there's an argument that socials are used more to direct customers to interact on their own sites & not the shows.

Surely for a Babe channels hall of fame the ladies should be inducted based purely on their Babe channel careers. Social media etc should have no influence on voting.

I think part of this comes down to a question that’s come up in the pre-nomination thread: should character count? Does it matter that Jennifer Jade was part of that RLC crew who ripped off customers for months by taking calls on muted phones? Does it matter that Lucy Summers had a reputation for customs that never came and ‘meets’ that never happened? Does it matter that she was done for benefits fraud?

We can all have different views on these things.

I personally couldn’t care less if a girl has 500k followers on Instagram or only fifty. But if she regularly uses her socials to whinge about freeloaders, rinse her biggest fans, or pine for some “paypig” to buy her a cocktail, then that’s a reflection of character and — as far as my vote is concerned — it’s fair game for consideration. Same thing goes for those women with managed OnlyFans accounts who are renowned for fleecing their own customers.

Yes, it’s a Hall of Fame to recognise excellence on the babe channels. But it’s also our hall of fame — created for, run by and voted on by babe channel fans. A woman may be gorgeous to look at and even a firecracker on the phones, but if elsewhere she shows craven disrespect for me or any other fan, then she’s not getting my vote.

Fair points, I fully understand if somebody has had a bad experience / been ripped off by a babe then that's going to have an influence on their opinion , but I just don't think popularity on social media etc should be highlighted or play any part in who gets inducted into this hall of fame.

That depends on what Hall Of Fame it is.

The Premier League only allow performances in the Premier League to count. No Champions League, no World Cup, nothing whatsoever except the Premier League.

The Basketball HOF is different. It allows performances in foreign leagues to count and those at the Olympics. Because although the inductees have all played in the NBA, it's regarded as a basketball HOF, not a NBA HOF.

Character definitely counts for me so I wouldn't vote for either and for anybody else who does that. Bad attitudes as well are another no go.

I am now in check, double check, triple check before check and check again mode as regards my current plans.
So much so in fact I'm spending time arguing with myself .
I will be completely gaga by 26th July .

Seriously though I am going through various issues in my head over and over again just to ensure I have clarity and all the reasonings in place.
I have read every single post in this thread multiple times in order to properly sense the mood music.
Going through every single argument piece by piece, line by line.
It is hard work but in a noble cause.
I am in a place now where unless a brand new and game changing argument emerges it seems I have it all pretty much ready to go for a couple of months time.

But of course........if that game changing post emerges a rethink could be possible .
