Daniel,
I've bee over 14 year participant of ARList. Unfortunately mostly silent
participant. I have vote only few times for MVP. This year I missed an
announcement about the voting!!! Maybe due to the reason my ARlist mailbox got
corrupted and I missed some of the ARList mails. I've been to RUG only once
(during unspoken company Remedy dark time ;-)), once when it was in Europe
I think it would have been great loss for the whole community if ARList MVP will
be cancelled. I would rather to treat that announcement as rather dark,
non-Friday humour message. Dan, please do keep MVP voting Alive.
Best regards to all Listers,
Dariusz Kuzara

I just counted the number of votes again.
Using raw numbers of the number of registrations on the list,
1% voted. In other words, under 50 votes.
Let's see if we beat that on comments about keeping it before you
get too excited about it returning.
The only reason I am ending it is because I think the level of voting reflects
the level of interest;
and reflects that the arslist and participation in it is now for the most part
taken for granted.
Activity on, and interest in, the actual list has not grown in the last couple
of years, but certainly has not diminished either!
Keep Calm, Carry On.
Daniel
P.s. there were a lot of Hawaiin shirts, just there were so many attendees
this year, 488 in fact

As I told LJ and the others in our midnight on discussion:
IF there is a really big, and by big I mean say, 10% of the list,
That sends emails or creates a really long thread about continuing it,
I might be convinced to bring it back.
But with 2.5% voting, although they usually reach the right conclusion,
It says to me that the ARSlist is a commodity now and there isn't that much
interest in
The Award.
To Clarify and somewhat repeat what I said at the conference:
There is no longer a separate session for the ARSlist Awards, it is part of an
opening session dedicated to all awards
The ARSlist carries on, and for now as "just an email list"
Doing some Awards related to the ARSlist carries on
The ARSlist MVP Award is now retired
I will be doing the 20^th Anniversary of the ARSlist next year.
Twinkies and Hawaii shirts have a life of their own.
I will be throwing a wrinkle into that next year as well J
