The bar to entry for the Hall of Fame seems to be a bit higher than many people think.
It is not easy to get into it. There are a lot of amazing people who have contributed greatly to the JV and PR2 community, but are not in the Hall of Fame.
The best example I can think of is probably ~JBG~ who has been very active in the community, is serving as Moderator, and has done a lot of design work that ended up getting implemented into PR2.
Those who are in the Hall of Fame are the best or at least extremely good at one or more things.
Here's how I see it:
Master Raiden - Extremely good at speedrunning and winner of many contests
Stunt - Overall activity, serving as Community Ambassador, making heaps of levels for Level of the Week and being good at contests
Colind - #1 highest ranked player at the time of getting into Hall of Fame
AlphaZ - #1 folder at the time of getting into Hall of Fame and has created some amazing levels, one of which is in a Campaign
Overbeing - One of, if not the best level creator and artist in PR2
TRUC - Overall activity over many years, hosting contests and making heaps of high quality levels for contests
Magniloquent - One of, if not the best trapper in PR2, and extremely good at frusting/speedrunning
bi3liu - The best all around player in PR2. Extremely good at trapping and frusting, and #1 player at speedrunning and glitching. Also has an exceptionally deep knowledge of PR2 across the board.
EpicMidget - Very active in the community, extremely good at speedrunning/frusting contests. Also revolutionized macroing.
AspectZero - #1 fruster in PR2 and extremely good at speedrunning. Has an exceptionally deep knowledge of PR2
Pretty much everyone on the list is either the best, or one of the best in the community at something. And once something is achieved, it is harder to justify giving Hall of Fame to someone else who achieves the same thing later. For example, the next person to reach Rank 80 or fold 1 billion F@H points probably won't get into Hall of Fame like Colind and AlphaZ did.
This isn't to discourage you, but I think it is important to understand what it takes to get into the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, it is not something everyone can get into. And I know this is coming from someone who is in Hall of Fame, but I think I am one of the less worthy people to be in it since I'm not really #1 at anything. It is probably just a combination of being pretty good at PR2 + being fairly active all around.
And with that, I think it is safe to say that Hall of Fame seems to favor contributions and achievements in PR2 more than JV, which is quite a shame since this is also supposed to be a JV award too.
So if you want to try and get into Hall of Fame without spending all your time in PR2, you will essentially be competing with people like Stunt, TRUC and EpicMidget.
