Original Post: Feel free to provide feedback and ideas here.
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work this year. This was the smoothest that the awards had ever run during my tenre as the MC. We weren't exactly turning volunteers away, but people were quick to offer help when asked. So, thank you.
One idea that was brought up after all the nominees was finalized as the reinstatement of the Best Newcomer Award. This used to be a user award, but it was removed due to all the system crashes. If people are starting to come back again, I have no problem reinstating this award. I believe the suggestion was to also add this for a comic too. That, I'm a little less sure of, but will certainly be open to discussion on.
I will also provide you with a word of wisdom that my dad always says, “If you think you can do better than me, than do so.” Seriously, I love running these awards, and I will keep running them as long as you let me. However, if anyone wants to give them a try I will offer my support and sage wisdom.
