As for the awards - yes we stopped doing them because there was very little activity (and it's actually a looot of work to organize it all
). Sadly at some point we had to decide that with less than 10 active members, and just several hundred posts over the year, there really wouldn't be many people/posts to vote for.
That said, if activity picks back up and people can actually start making choices again, we wouldn't be against reanimating them. Hoping that is the case now that people no longer have to wait for their activation email and more new members can grace our forum again.
I'm thinking about my upcoming time off. Really need it
