I agree hall of shame for hosts is too negative.
Let me chime in totally agreeing on this. That would be like a hall of shame for people who almost climbed Mt Everest. Or people who almost achieved world peace. Im sorry but I do not recommend shaming people who almost hosted a game perfectly. It might work better to thank them, mention the things they did right, and then mention somewhere that they might want to ask the other hosts for a hint on.

I will also mention that its not the hardware, or the software, that tends to kill most hosts. Managing the game is nothing compared to managing the users. So if a host dies the players might want to look there for the problems first, and take their own steps to not let it happen to their next host.

(ok, old grumpy server rant mode /off)
