I'd been thinking about this randomly for a little while... what ever happened to the Member Awards? Was it decided to discontinue them? I thought they were supposed to be held every 6 months or something, but it's been more like 7 or 8... does anyone know anything about this?

TT, there's a section dedicated to member awards here: Member Awards. It's easy to figure it all out through that forum._________________ <center> -In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song-

I was just thinking about that the other day, but I figured they were coming up in a little while later. Didn't we have a poll to determine how often they'd be held?
Gosh. Last time we had to remind everyone, too. I wish the awards would stay on a tighter schedule.
*returns from Member Awards section*
Well, I remember the consensus having been something like every six months--and its been what, seven? But the official thread says THREE months! We are really behind!

Ah, sorry about that, I didn't realise a mod hadn't responded to this yet. Currently We're having a wee discussion about this in the moderating section.
Tell us what you'd like and we'll see what we can do for you

I really don't have any suggestions as to anything that needs changing, unless someone has an award they want to add; I'd just like to see them started again. It was kind of fun when we did it. 
I trust the mods to decide what is best though, as always.

Hm, yeah, I miss the MA's... hopefully we'll have another round sometime before summer ends? Whatever is convenient for the mods, though, as I'm sure you guys have it hard enough already. As for suggestions, I have none. They're pretty much perfect the way they are.

Ironically, I'd also just been thinking about how long it's been since we had Member Awards. They're always so much fun, too. Personally, I don't think anything needs to be changed, though I do like JF's idea for a new award (it could be called the Vigilante Award, or some LotR-ish equivalent thereof). But besides that, I'd say that our current system (or...our traditional system, given that there's not much current about it) is absolutely fine.

We could call it the Ranger Award. 
I really don't have any suggestions, I'd just like to get a round started! Whatever awards we were on schedule to do is just fine. _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

We did at one time have the Istari Award for wisest and most helpful member.
The history of member awards:
At first it was quite simple. A few awards, focusing on character and lotr loyalty. Then it expanded. As it did, things got overwhelming, so things were split. We then all voted on how frequently. Big debate, but eventually quarterly, switching between sets of 6 awards or so, was decided upon. At one time these sets were expanded to 10 awards. But then something happened. Interest in the awards fell away. Members stopped PM-ing nominations, or visiting the polling sections. Other Mod Members grew busy in other things...slowly, the period between awards started stretching out. Then suddenly one day Alatariel Frodo brought it to the attention of some folks...

I know it's traditionally been the mods' job to take care of the Member Awards, but if it's a question of you all feeling overwhelmed or busy I'm sure a few members would gladly pull together to help out.

I agree, I and a few other members have run a member awards event before and I am sure if we all band together in a small group, we can run the awards with the permission of the mods
