As a few of you may know, one of my Goals on YCM would be to run the Awards that used to run every 3 Months then increased to 6 Months to keep things fresh. Feburary marks the Month when the Awards are due to be run again and I would like your thoughts on it. No, this isn't a "I want to run the Awards thing" (Well I do but you get the idea lol) It's a General discussion regarding Timeframes. Feel free to talk about anything else to do with the Awards too. Wit the YMB now happening, is 6 Months too soon?

I dunno about 3 months, just seems too short. IMO, it doesn't give (new and old) members enough time to prove their 'worth' enough to the point that they could beat the usual winners of these award-type competitions. It's not suppose to be a popularity contest, it's suppose to be about dedication to the forum.

If not a yearly event, then 6 months is perfect but I strongly feel that 3 months is too short of a span for the YCMA.

Do we seriously need them that often? 3 month span between each event is NOT enough for new or aspiring members to get the recognition, That would lead to same old, boring, predictable winners.

Secondly, YMB is more of a popularity poll, where the Awards [i][u]shouldn't[/u][/i]. Just because someone is your friend doesn't mean they are the best member of some section.

The YCM Awards represent your best Member for said section. As LZ said, the YMB is a straight up popularity contest. I have actually thought of a couple of Awards to add this year if I am nominated to Host.

Your YCM Rival: Quite simply the person who you class as your Rival, wether it be in Card Making, Graphic Design and even Debates! Who encourages you to be your best and up your Determination?

Person of Many Faces: Who do you believe changes their name or Profile or Signature a lot? What member do you think can't decide who they truly are. (Yep this is a Negative & Positive Award lol)

2nd one's good, but there would be too many 1 votes for the first one because it's way unlikely a lot of people would share the same rival.
Along with that, I suggest changing the Friendship Award. It was previously dedicated to whichever friend you wanted to commemorate your friendship with, but now I think it should be made to A friendship.
For example, if I were to vote for the new Friendship Award, I'd vote for something like the friendship between Atman and Roxas rather than my friendship with DL.
Though that might spawn too many 1 votes too, I dunno. I'd say if it does turn out that way in these Awards, then take it out completely.

I'd say every 6 months.

Though J-Max, make sure you take charge and direction with your GFX team. Let's not repeat my mistake =_=

I think there should be some humorous Awards, like best fanservice or inofficial YCM couple, things like that.
The loveyst friendship between people sounds fine too.;3

But person of many faces sounds a bit rude and could spark unnecessary arguments. I know who I'd nominate here, but ehehe.;3

[color=#0000cd]But yeah, as a Wisconsinite I'm obligated to vote for I like cheese. Especially since I like cheese.[/color]

[color=#0000cd]But for a serious opinion 6 months sounds perfect. A year is far too long and 3 months is far too short.[/color]
