You can construct partial lists of who the TB candidates were in recent years by looking in the TB election debate archives.
There's usually a post by the CD, or earlier by Randy Petersen, announcing the results of the vote, but finding these requires some searching.

We need a FlyerTalk historian.

I'm happy to create a summary. There will be a short delay as I'm about to board a flight.

With all due respect & humility, one person asking for TB member got you to try & do a history? And most of your links go back to the same page. I don't get it.
Cheers.

I think this is a great idea. It's a lot of effort to weed backwards through the history and I applaud the effort to try to create a historical wiki.

But I think the majority of FTers could give two patooties. And while I applaud KF (and I do), I don't think he should spend his time on something like this but IB instead (of course since it's not related to ad clicks that will be in the never category).
Cheers.

This is a good idea and also applaud OP's effort, though cannot fathom the friction of this non-fiction thread.

This is yet another commendable effort on his part.

A brief history of Flyer Talk Talkboard is in progress (currently updated for 2001 to 2007).
