Well they have a special title, and special permission, and out appreciation :P
The award is pretty much what we have to remember those who made great TAS :P
Really, I'd rather see special things be given to them, over someone who wins an award for a TAS. The people I listed really don't get the appreciation they deserve.
I totaly agree with you, but that isnt of my resort nor was the subject i think, if im asked to make crazy trophies or specific funny sprites for such, i will gadly do, anyway
Hm. Thoughts on possible icons for those different categories:
* Site maintainer: "God" from ActRaiser
* Judge: Gavel
* Coder: A string of random binary, or a logic gate
* Encoder: Television

I would never want such a trophy.

I think that's nice.

Cute, but I think we can do better.

I don't think that quite gets the idea across. Maybe Mario on an old fashioned video camera?

Isn't that a bit hypocritical? You might not want the award, but you're the only one who gets a choice.
I'm not saying I don't want the award, I don't watch such a blasphemous trophy.

Hey, if he doesn't want it, I somehow suspect we're going to have difficulty forcing him to take it. :) It was just a cute idea.
Any award winner who doesn't want to show the trophies in their posts can presumably contact Nach or Adelikat and get them removed, anyway. It's not hypocritical.
As for the icons, how about an old-style reel-to-reel projector for the encoders?

It doesn't matter, in every single contest of best site manager, adelikat will win anyway.

Better to contact me than adelikat for that. I wrote all the award code, I know exactly where and how to turn it off for certain users if they don't want to be associated with an award.
