Should we split the Meltdown category into "pre-8th" and "post-8th"? Because there were pre-election meltdowns, and there's bound to be some even more glorious ones after.

what about primary meltdowns

I'll think about that one. We still have Fukushima to use for the meltdown trifecta.

anymore I'll likely just edit this post and add below this line...this could be great if well executed but should prob be done after things calm down a few days post E-NITE

One idea that we could do is have two sets of awards: one that is c-spam posters only and one that is not.

Nominations teeeeeeechnically aren't open yet (because we haven't had post election meltdowns), but we definitely have a c-spam specific self-own award now.

ALSO!

We're at 34 "general" awards and 17 c-spam ones. Basically, from this point out if you want an award category, it either A. has to be exceptional, or B. suggest a current one to be replaced by it.

Well, uh...

I'll probably re-reg after the toxxes come down assuming nothing changes, but does anyone still want to do this?

:siren: OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM IOSPACE :siren:

Alright, I've thought about it. I partially want to do this still, but I still want feedback on whether or not to proceed. The options right now are:

1. Keep the categories as is
2. Retool them to reflect the outcome
3. Scrap it all together

If we do go ahead, I'll make a post opening nominations on Wednesday. Right now things around here are still heated and I'd prefer if we had cooler heads when doing this.
