That's what I was kinda thinking too, maybe another mod can take over, or we can wait for Chad I have no problem with doing that.

Yeah, I knew Chad had been busy, but I was just going to check the thread for any updates and it was gone. I figured there would be some sort of notice at least.

Maybe we need more admins? I understand Chad is busy, but the forum is dying these days... and not having Chad or Flobbster around is not helping. Nothing fun is going on anymore, does anybody else agree?

Nothing fun is going on anymore, does anybody else agree? yep....the old atmosphere has gone somewhat....and I do kinda see the forum as fading a bit...due to lack of new things to do I guess...crazy arguments happening over the most ridiculous thing (which is the main thing that is pissing me off to the extreme it angers me so much when I see some arrogant/ignorant member fly off the handle for the simplest thing and it has ruined the atmosphere on this forum....I feel at times when I post Im pussy footing around the subject or topic Im talking about so as not to push the wrong buttons of some member and end up starting another forum argument. Its annoying) But anyways...I agree with what your saying.

Nothing fun is going on anymore, does anybody else agree? i agree sammie we do need more admins, i have noticed that the mods dont seem to be around much anymore. and it also seems new members are finding it hard to join the forum, or it is taking a long time to register, this could deter them in the end from actually posting once they have their membership. im not blaming anyone but i think things could do with improving ali x

again...I agree about more mods.....I never hear or see flobbo/chad/hadley online anymore....which im not blaming them for at all....I understand that college/uni etc and everything else in general is WAY more important than a forum...but we do maybe need one or two more....?

I am curious as to why the custom award thread was deleted, since I hope it's still on, but I don't think it's a question of more mods, we just neeed to continue to be patient. I've always thought that eight mods for a forum of this size was enough.
I think if the mods had a wider range of sections to look after, it might work out better. I don't think promoting more people is going to help so much more, but if the existing mods were to become moderators of more sections (eg, Second Evil or Hadley having more than just the one section each to look after, and branching out into fan fic etc) than it could keep the place tidier, and more up to date with this sort of stuff (challenges, contests, Ask Diamond's...)
I think the existing mods do a good job. If one or two is too busy to come online, we just have to be patient. Again, I do want to know whats up with the Custom Awards though.

I think with the new comic, the forum will pick up. There hasn't been anything new in years, literally. And with NO NEW topics to discuss, theorize on, or speculate on...it's normal for it to die down a bit. Things will pick up, trust me.
As far as the contest goes, I do not know why it was deleted. Where winners announced? I was supposed to place award badges on all winning figure photos as well as make banners for the winners...

Wow, I didn't even notice that the custom awards thread was deleted... I stopped checking for that thread about a week ago. I was so excited when that thread was posted, and I checked it everyday for about a month, and then I stopped since I thought it was hopeless for the time being to keep getting my hopes up everyday when I visit the customizing section.
I really am curious to find out why it was deleted. I've seen Chad online many times since he put up that thread. I really hope the Custom Awards aren't cancelled. This was going to be my first year in them...

It is surprising that the thread was deleted without explanation. Perhaps whoever deleted the thread will be kind enough to keep us in the loop.

I presume that Chad deleted it. I'm disappointed too. I was looking forward to the BCAs.

And with NO NEW topics to discuss, theorize on, or speculate on...it's normal for it to die down a bit. Things will pick up, trust me. ... I don't totally agree, i think part of the reason people are visiting and/or posting alot less than before, is because everything is moving so slow. Not just these custom awards, but also the Survivor game and adding new members for exsample. Some have to wait a month or so to be added, and by that time they might not be as interested anymore, it's such a shame, cause we can truly use all the new members. I'm glad that they were recently updated again, but how long will the new members have to wait, another month? And whatever happened to the BTVSfigs add we were going to place in the magazine? Or more give aways (or 'memberships' ) ? I wish the admins would come up with some new fresh things. I know everybody is busy, and i do understand, but the forum really needs it right now. In my honest opinion, i just wish it would be as lively as it once was (like, a year ago or so). And i do think another admin would really help. Maybe it is partly due to Buffy and Angel not running anymore, but that's just one part of this forum. The Lounge used to be a pretty crowded place with lots of fun topics, sometimes i want to bump some fun ones to blow some new life into the forum, but i'm affraid i'm not allowed too. I just wish we could discuss more... this really is my favorite forum. Again, i respect the mods and love them for making this forum, but it would be fun to see more of them. So the forum will get even bigger, not smaller. I really hope the release of Buffy Season 8 will help this.

Maybe since it seems Chad isn't up to it, or is too busy another mod can take over the Custom Awards? I think a lot of us were really looking forward to it. I also think it would bring some much needed fun to the forum as well, since it has been kind of slack around here lately (like other people have mentioned).

maybe he deleted the old thread rather then updating it with the nominations, and hes working on putting a new one up.
I would really love to see this get off the ground, one way or another.

I agree with most of you on the state of forum itself, but I won't repeat myself. If you want to know my feelings on the subject, see the "Banned for bumping old threads?" topic.
I do have one suggestion for the Custom Awards though. These are the 2006 Custom Awards, right? And entries had to be submitted by December 9th if I remember it right. But then there's those customs posted from December 10th - 31st which, if I understand it correctly, aren't eligible to be entered in the 2006 awards despite having been posted in 2006. And again, if I understand correctly, they're not eligible for entry in the 2007 Awards either?
So wouldn't it be better to submit entries for that specific year in January of the next? That way every custom for that year is eligible to be entered.
