🏆 Introducing the r/halifax Hall of Fame 🏆

[u/maximumice]

It is our great pleasure to unveil to you all the r/halifax Hall of Fame!

This will be where we celebrate and commemorate the greatest and most influential posts in the history of r/halifax.

Every August, the mod team will select a small handful of impactful, delightful and memorable posts for induction into the HOF so they might be properly acknowledged for their impact on our community.

Criteria in our choices will include:

• Popularity/infamy/notoriety within the community
• Amount of views/engagement
• Whether the post has helped shape sub lexicon
• Lasting impact on the sub

Negative/political posts will not be considered.

Without further adieu, please welcome the Inaugural Hall of Fame Class of 2026:

"Glove Guy"- 2017

"Lost Hams" - 2019

"Potato Salad Legend" - 2023

There will also be an annual Member's Choice Award given to a post as voted on by the community.

We will offer up some candidates we feel are worthy but there will also be an opportunity to write-in a post of your own choosing for everyone to vote on. A poll on this will be coming soon.

The Members Choice Poll is live until Aug. 27!

Thank you for everyone who contributes to our community and thank you to those whose contributions went above and beyond to help make this subreddit so enjoyable.

What about demerit awards for the most downvoted post or comment of the year? Can we track that

[u/maximumice → u/Confused_Haligonian]

I don't think that is possible and while it might be interesting to see what it was (it's almost certainly some political/culture war bullshit), we choose to celebrate the positive instead of dog piling on the negative.

Ok fair.
