There was a 2007 award vote which was plagued by rumors and accusations of mishandling, incorrect tabulation, vote tampering, etc. The results were eventually discarded and abandoned after nearly everyone realized how silly all that hassle had become and the second attempt was only half-hearted.
Good luck finding someone with the stomach to go through that all over again.

They were a farce.

Actually, the second attempt at last years awards was halted by me due to some dubious reasoning by some people for removing the first set of votes, lack of evidence that there was multi-voting (and trust me - I spent 24 hours sifting through everything), as well as numerous other reasons. It seems nobody could be bothered to continue them after that.
The 2006 Awards went off relatively smoothly though, and the winners can be found in this thread:

And the 2006 (inaugural) additions to the Hall of Fame were:

There will be awards this year, keep your eyes peeled later in the month for more details.Mordack wrote:They were a farce.

Yes, they were, but if I'm brutally honest, that was down to the way they were managed - not because of the way the community nominated or voted.
@ Mukasa - Thanks!
