Have the Datty Awards lost their luster?

I think they are all in good fun but it seems this year participation has been low.

This board has a steady following of posters and it seems the same names are nominated each year. And really my biggest issue is there are too many awards.

Filling out a ballot is tough because there seem to be more catergories than posters who would fit the criteria.

I think next year the awards should be trimmed down to make it a little easier for all to participate in. Maybe even have to where posters could campaign for certain awards? Could be fun, and really that's the point of this anyway.

I think these awards on every board are dumb, not just ST.

There are much more efficient ways of having a circle jerk.

Eat shite Zombie.

I didn't read your OP

We haven't even had the voting thread yet.

Nominations are usually low turnout because people don't like to choose they like to be given choices.

How many people you know vote in primaries?

I'm not sayingn you're butt hurt, but you are. I mean I hope you're not, but I'm right.

That said, I agree there are too many. A problem we can fix next year

they always have. people think the best poster is someone that copy and pastes 300 articles to the site every year. All terribly formatted.

I don't get it either. It's clearly the one who post the most gifs.

I agree there might be too many. I mean, can we just retire the Ingram? Chad's got it for life.

Maybe just an MVP, a worst poster, worst thread, lifetime achievement, one or two more, that's it.

It's all for fun anyway right? I don't see the big deal.....take them for what they are. Better than not having them at all imho.

I agree. I just feel some of the awards (which started as jokes) could be done away with. Some are just too similar.

Maybe we should all vote for the biggest contrarian as best poster.

That´ll put some lead in people's pencils.

I agree but not from a point of affirmation but more from a place that does not affirm your original premise.
