Ok, here’s the deal. It has been discussed amongst the site admins and we have decided that we will no longer sponsor or run the site wide year end (or the promised half year) awards. For our taste, there was too much finger pointing and fighting over the whole thing for us to want to continue to put in the work for the awards. The awards were meant to recognize people who have done good work over the year. It was not working for everyone.
We are not against the fed run awards that several feds have been doing of late. We will not try to step in and stop that. Y’all’s thing is y’all’s thing so long as it does not bring bloodshed.
Also, I will talk to the other staffers about this, should someone else decide that they would like to take control of the site wide awards. That might be alright. HOWEVER, should the fighting start again over the awards then they will be shut down for good.
Now that has all been said, I should point out that the Monthly Ratings with the eWrestling Monthly magazine are similar in nature to the awards and take place on a more frequent scale over several categories. Just not as many as the year end awards.

I think the awards were always fun, but understandably if it caused too much drama for the admins then it makes sense for it not to be an "official" thing. Wasn't this the only year they were official? Kuroi ran them in years past right?

Kuroi doing them rocked and was fine but when we tried to cover for him (he got too busy) it was a drain that didn't really benefit anyone or the Network. So unofficial defo seems the way to go.

I would offer to help as a collective effort. January is a busy month, especially the end so I’d be happy to do the accountant friendly stuff, ie make the forms and collate the data. The back and forth handing out of awards to winners is not only not my forte but also by that time I’ll be screaming into the matrix, that’s how many numbers I’ll see.

They never caused drama when I ran them. Now I'm not going to speculate as to how it became so filled with drama but I suspect it's all tied to one person. *COUGHMONGOCOUGH*

I love the awards and hate to see them go. Honestly this just seems like a situation where admins didn't need to take on something like this.

I think by committee, rather than one person would help also. So between say yourself, Mav, myself, maybe one other we all pull together to do it? Let’s be honest the formula is already in place we just have to work it.

Yeah I once ran End of Year awards on another site I was a part of and it worked really well being run by committee.

Let me know where to vote! I like voting, even if I only get to do it once.
