so regarding the boyah awards (IMPORTANT PLEASE VOTE)

[Kalahari Inkantation]

should we get started on boyah awards soon-ish

hell make me mod of the board for it and i'll run the shit

i genuinely endorse these ideas

in fact, anyone who wishes to contribute in official capacity could be made temp mod of the relevant boards and we can have non-staff organize the awards this year to shake things up a bit

the staff could just sit back and enjoy the absolute shitshow

...you know, assuming anyone still gives a damn about the annual boyahs lol

[YPrrrr]

As long as I don't have to do anything this year more power to whoever wants to put up with people complaining 

[Kalahari Inkantation]

You and the staff may offer to help if desired, but you would be obligated to do exactly nothing.

[Mando Pandango]

lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i personally would make a commitment to help in an advisory role at least, but i would leave the brainstorming and implementation to volunteers

[Thyme]

lol

hiro, i'm open to hearing you out

convince me to save this idea

[C.Mongler]

ill make the video again yeehaw

[Hiro]

hiro, i'm open to hearing you out

convince me to save this idea

-I'll likely have a bit of free time this summer
-With one person taking the lead (who actually wants to) things will get done when they (I) decide and not having to coordinate deadlines
-I have a habit of obsessing over details and wasting ~6 hours on the computer doing tedious and pointless tasks
-We get Boyah Awards and nobody (besides me and those who want to do videos) has to lift a finger
-If things go wrong or take too long everyone gets to blame Hiro

[YPrrrr]

I mean Hiro isn't known for his ability to meet deadlines but I don't think the Awards happen any other way so at worst Hiro doesn't finish them before 2018

I like what I hear.

I will assist you in this venture. Try to recruit a few more volunteers and the mod team will discuss in secrecy whether to approve of your modest proposal.

the thing is I would set the deadlines myself, plus knowing the whole thing's on me would get me to actually do the stuff as opposed to not really hearing much from anyone for a while and forgetting about a deadline

I can probably ask david to help me if needed but honestly I think the only thing I'll need assistance with is compiling nominations for each award

i'm fine with everything that's been said so far

i don't know about everyone else, but the reason i got so bored of the boyah awards is because our award categories kept being one of the following:

-repeats from previous years
-fucking nonsensical stupid bullshit
-things that are too hard for us to reach a consensus on, thus leading to like 3 winners (like album of the year, why bother??)

i guess it also doesn't help that i don't involve myself in boyah as much anymore. i could try to change that.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

we (and by "we" i mean hiro) should consider a tournament-style award system this year

that would alleviate many of the aforementioned issues with the boyahs

I agree with the nonsensical bullshit but I figured that was just because I'm not as cool.

And yeah we don't really need to do categories tailored to one user or that one thing has won every year
