This year we're short on staff, and the staff we do have are very busy, so we're not going to manage anything about the awards this year, I don't want to add that added stress onto them.
It would still be nice for them to take place though, so if you guys want the awards to happen the community needs to work together and cook something up. [SIZE="1"]There also seems to be a lot of complaints every year about how things are done so now you can do it your own way.[/SIZE]
If you guys need anything to make it happen let me know.

I don't think the awards will be done, people complain too much about everything and don't appreciate the people who do work on them.

I think doing the awards would be a rewarding experience.
Yep.
Ok not really with the lack of staff

Not necessary, I think rep system itself is good enough rather than implementing more award systems.

honestly, just remove the awards that we have
no need for that to clog up the sidebars and make posts longer (even if they're small to begin with)
awards were always controversial anyway
they were just popularity contests anyway

I think Kenero would be willing to give another round at it, she expressed interest in wanting to keep the tradition going. I will have her speak with you Osay to see what we can work out.
Nevermind, guess Kenero is still really upset and stressed with how it turned out last year, and I certainly don't want to touch it. I think it's for the best that we don't do it this year unless someone else wants to take it. Although this community has left me pretty jaded.

What happened last year?
Edit: Wait wasn't there drama the year before that too?

Always drama.

The only one who should get an award is Osay, who for some reason keeps paying for this site to be up. Maybe the mods too for putting up with this shit.

Yeah. Last year there was drama, and then the year before you all bitched and complained despite the fact that basically only one staff member was doing the whole stupid awards just for the community (that was me. I did the work.). Yeah, I don't blame Kenero for still being upset because it's been TWO years since I did it, and thinking about all the disrespect and rudeness that happened still pisses me off.
Seriously guys, what's so hard about shutting the fuck up with your whining and giving the people who worked on it a thank you AT LEAST for their time? But no. Everyone would just rather whine like a two year old who dropped their ice cream over "Why is that person on here?" "Ugh! It's just a popularity contest!" "Why those categories? It should be (INSERT OPINION HERE EVEN THOUGH I NEVER CONTRIBUTED IT WHEN IT WAS ASKED BEFORE THE FINALIZATIONS BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE ASSHOLE WHO WOULD RATHER COMPLAIN AFTERWARDS)".

Pretty much that. I don't even know how the awards managed to go on for so many years.

[FONT="Arial"]I'm gonna take Ithi's post to heart and say that we should just skip out this year.
Maybe next year will be better?[/FONT]

I'd like the awards to continue but like many people said, there's always the drama involved and people can't just appreciate that some people tried their best to make the tradition go on like what happened last year.

This pretty much, couldn't have said it better myself. Mainly why I don't want to even deal with it this year as Kenero would have helped if I had been willing to be the one running the show but why should I when I'll just get flack for it.

I don't know. The environment changed, and the people changed, and everyone decided to be a rude asshole for no reason. Because...why not? You have to make yourself feel better about yourself somewhere!

I'm going to be honest with you, if the community continues to act the way it does, it will NEVER change. Which is a shame, because I would actually do the events again if I thought it would be worth it.

Yeah. No matter what you do, you're wrong and THEY could have done it better.
