I don't often see much news of the National Darts Hall of Fame, but I visit the site from time to time to see whats up. This time I found that nominations for new members of the NDHOF are open, and that it's easy to nominate. There are forums for the site, but I don't see much action there and there are signs that spamers are on the move to trash the forum. I was also unable to find the 2005 entry into the NDHoF.
Who do you think should be added to the NDHoF?

According to the Nomination and Selection Process (as articulated on the NDHoF website) the nomination process for nominees to be inducted into the 2006 Class closed on November 30, 2005. I know of two people who were nominated prior to this date whose names and background are not currently (as of 1/9/2006) posted on the website. The NDHoF has a credibility problem as is and would only exacerbate it if they were to extend the nomination process or inducte people who have not been nominated (as has been a frequent process in past years).
I wondered about the quality of website, and the forums. The concept of a NHDoF is a great thing, but unless it takes on a higher profile, actively attempts to reach out to all in the sport and more becomes visible to people in general it could become irrelevant. I did not notice an email adress for the webmaster, but I think I'll drop a line.
