[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1725366, member: 177"] Fair enough. I'd suggest you try to refrain from telling us what we can and cannot do. Try to stick to "should and should not" or "that would be unwise". Trying to dictate policy to volunteers isn't a winning strategy. I'm sure advice and opinions are welcome. But demands usually aren't. Fine, would Bastion Press like to make a donation? :) The thing is that the gaming community is pretty small. It has already been seen that ads and donations are not always enough to keep the site afloat, much less also cover the costs of the awards. Which brings up another question - do we want to poll publishers to see what they do and do not object to in the awards? While ultimately the Ennies must be something we fans like and approve of, there's something to be said for making the awards publisher-firendly as well. [/QUOTE]
