Of course it's a popularity contest of sorts. It's called "the Viewers Choice Awards" after all. Having judges and lots of pre-screening would just not be possible considering all the eligible videos involved every year.

In general, well over half the conventions do audience voting and thus it's somewhat a popularity contest as well. This is not different here in some ways :wink:

Looking at the good side, I do think that there are a lot of good videos that people take the time to watch which they wouldn't have if not for the VCAs... Yes, maybe not all deserving make it, but it truly is hard to try to watch everything in the catalog :wink:

You know, I've never seen you in there at all, how do you know which of the rookies are in the "IRC-clique"? The only one that I know of DOES post in the forums (not so much in their journal, but not everyone uses theirs as a means of pimping), and they damn-well deserve their nomination. A few others have made appearances in IRC (perhaps because it IS the site's chatroom :roll: ), but are not regulars.

That's why I said it's judgeing a person (I'll add in respect to amvs lol), not just their amvs like most improved. See logic states that when nominateing most improved you take into account what they had improved ON, but most that look into THAT category don't take that prerequisite into account.

Rookie of the year, however, doesn't have any big prerequisites that I don't see NEARLY as much to argue against... from a logical standpoint.

I do appreciate the fact that you take message board posts, journal posting and irc involvement when judgeing certain categorys. I beleive that is the best way and was partly what I was getting at ^.^

Aria and Ileia, I seem to remember you journaling something about that... LIES ALL OF IT!!

No, nobody uses their journal to pimp... except for the 5 thousand noobs who don't like or is unaware of the announcement forums... to. PIMP ;p.

Oh, I'm not saying that no one uses them to pimp, yes, many, many, many, many do -_- But not all of them realize that it's a means of pimping and use it as such. I wasn't even aware of journals until this past summer. Nearly a year after I'd joined. :lol: And I didn't know that it happened in the forums either, I was barely aware of the forums (that and I'd never used forums before, and didn't know what to make of them.)
