[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 7722852, member: 40359"] All I am saying is that it's not just super insiders interested in it. Many of us have been following the award since the beginning and are excited about it. I'm not a super insider and I was excited to hear who the winner was. That and the Ennie Award winners are some of the only news I look forward to hearing about with every Gen Con. THAT is why it's news. Just because YOU are not interested, doesn't mean that no one else is. I just don't get why if you haven't heard about it but if someone else is excited then it's just "fanboy frothing" and "high school cliques." If you aren't excited then, fine. Personally, I think it's an interesting award especially when you look at the unique variety of nominees and winners over the years. Plus, it's a longer Gen Con tradition than being in Indianapolis, but many can't imagine Gen Con being anywhere else at this point. So it's news because some of EN World's audience is interested in it. If you aren't, then fine. Read some other "fanboy frothing," there's plenty to go around. ;) For example, currently only about 5 articles on the home page are of interest to me, but I don't have a strong need to go into the other 15 threads and start debating why those are newsworthy just because they aren't newsworthy to me. EN World is big enough to have news articles and discussions about things that I think are complete wastes of time but others are passionately excited about. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
