The fact that he had to apply and then was shot down but couldn't even be told he was shot down until he had to bring it here is a problem.

Also, he didnt have to bring it in here, my PMs were wide open, and if memory serves right he only asked once in general chat since this whole thing happened, while our selection process was still not decided so i couldnt give him an answer. Hell, our selection process STILL isnt decided, so Jiggly's application is still in. But yknow, its whatever

So he applied for a job he was already doing, and the applications were later closed, and he asked about it already in chat and presumably was not answered.  I think he did more than enough on his end. 

Also, you say now it is still possible, but earlier they were overwhelmingly negative.  So I assume HO doesn't want him and no one else volunteered?

With that said, I couldn't bear to join in them. This forum is not the right medium for painfully eking out the awards over several hours, having to refresh the page and dig through endless gifs just to see who won. It takes the focus off the winners, which is the antithesis of what an awards show should be.

I wanted to say this because I think there are people who are too kind to say so. And that doesn't mean I intended this as an insult; I just wanted to say that I didn't personally enjoy the format, though I'm sure there are some who did.

My problem is more that as someone who's done it so many times in the past, I feel like I should be a bit more involved in the creative process for making it better.
