Plus 99% of the category nominations have always been jokes. The remaining 1% were serious but so stupid they're almost indistinguishable from jokes. I kinda miss category nominations, that was always sto's time to shine.

No, that's right. The category nominations have been skipped this year to streamline things a bit for the administration after all the server troubles.
They cut it out of last year's proceedings as well.

In case you haven't noticed, nominations have begun. Local downloads should be 100% back to normal now, too. I've updated the first post of this thread with relevant info.

Okay, are there seriously only 246 eligible contestants this year? That's what I'm seeing on the lists for Editor of the Year, Most Helpful, etc., and it strikes me as a tad low...

I could be wrong, but wasn't there an e-mail blast in previous years urging people to come here and make sure their videos were eligible for the VCAs? I don't recall getting anything like that this year, so I wondered if perhaps a lot of people didn't even realize the VCAs were getting underway...

Again, I could be wrong, but I also was surprised by the low number of videos/people eligible. There were even some that I had planned on nominating/voting for...but they're not there!

Didn't Phade send out an email regarding both the VCAs and the Donation Drive Contest?

Hold up, let me crunch some numbers...

I have checked my e-mail (with spam bin as well, though I would be surprised if it was there, since I regularly get refused banners notions just fine) and haven't found nothing that would ressemble such thing, neither of them~

I'm pretty sure they were sent out, I got an e-mail on the 24th about both contests.

That's weird, I asked Phade to send out an email last week, and shortly afterwards, I received one in my inbox. It went like this:
DONATION DRIVE CONTEST

Our first ever Donation Drive Contest has kicked off this week. Is seems that everyone is actually taking this seriously. Donations have definitely spiked! This week is the "Phade will match the largest donation received" week. The hard drives are eagerly awaiting new homes! Please be sure to read the official rules thread:

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 14&t=92941

Any other additional weekly incentive promotions will be announced the Saturday before that week's contest. Good luck and have fun!!


VIEWERS CHOICE AWARDS

The annual Viewer's Choice Awards are about to start! If you want to enter, you MUST visit the qualification page before the deadline of this Thursday, February 26.

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... lified.php

As always, don't forget to check the "All of my videos have been entered into the catalog" on your "Edit My Profile" page. Get ready to nominate your favorite videos of 2008 starting this weekend! See the forum post for more details on the contest as it continues.

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 14&t=92920
I'm gonna send another email when uploads are back...



And here are some numbers regarding the "growth" of this site and the VCAs for the past few years:

Image
("relevant" means the VCAs that correspond with that year's videos. So 2006's videos would be paired with the 2007 VCAs, etc.)

An ongoing trend, in my own opinion. Feel free to examine the numbers and come to your own conclusions.

My Gmail account has eaten e-mails before - even from other Gmail account holders - but as far as I know I've never had a problem receiving e-mails from the .ORG (one would hope not, since it's my .ORG e-mail account!!).

I will ask a few other people who don't regularly frequent this site to see if they got anything. *investigates*
