AVN Hall of Fame – Internet Founders Branch Inductees Announced (Rant)
 

AVN just announced their 2019 Hall Of Fame Inductees & I'm not bashing this years Internet Founders Branch inductees, but I am pissed that there are so many individuals from back in the late 90's that truly do deserve to be in there (some much more than I do) that have been completely ignored once again.

Here's the current list (2019 inductees in italics):
Angie Rowntree from Sssh.com
Anthony J from NetVideoGirls.com
Beth Mansfield from PersianKitty.com
Bill Pinyon from Badpuppy.com
Botto Brothers from MaxCash
Brad Mitchell from MojoHost
Charles Berrebbi and John Albright from Too Much Media
Colin Rowntree from Wasteland.com
Danni Ashe from Danni's Hard Drive
Ilan Bunimovitz from Gamelink.com
Lensman from Webmaster Access
Mark "Greenguy" Jenkins from Link-O-Rama.com
Maurice from Freeones.com
Mitch Farber from Netbilling
Mitch Fontaine from BurningAngel
Nick Chrétien from CrakRevenue
Patrick from TheHun.net
Shap from Twistys.com
Stan Fiskin aka Stan D’Aman from AdultCentro
Steve Lightspeed from Lightspeed Cash
Steve Wojcik from Badpuppy.com
Tim Valenti from NakedSword
(I'm not trying to debate who is in there)

Off the top of my head, ALL of these people deserve to be in the Internet Founders Branch of AVN's Hall Of Fame:
Al from AL4A
Amp from Ampland
Bode & Nero from SexTracker
Dr Bizarro
Emerald from CONDOM/Netpond/SmutGremlins
Fantasy Man from CyberErotica (REALLY?!)
Jonathan from Naughty.com
Helmy from XBiz
Meatman from CONDOM/Netpond
Richard from Richard's Realm
Serge
Shemp
Sweet T from National Net
Tommy from Tommy's Bookmarks

Yes, there's some assholes on my list (there's one I'd spit on if I ever saw him again).

Yes, most of them are "traffic" sources, and that's partly because that's who I associated with & partly because those were the "celebs" of the day.

Yes, I know some of those people are competitors or "enemies" of AVN, but if they want their HOF to be considered legit, they really need to put EVERYONE that deserves to be in there in.

I know I missed a lot, so feel free to help me out below.

Being that they are ignoring so many historically famous names, I assume it has become a matter of favoritism.

Having people in there that run businesses that are 5-6 years old seems silly to me since they are still in the business and how can anything 5 years old be Hall Of Fame?

the "new" bro club is tight ...
