Every time I've tried getting awards I'm not on to request them due to some vacation it seems or something. Basically my main questions are these:
1). Did the awards stop for the moment, and if so, for what reasons, other than inactivity?
2). If the awards did stop, is there any possiblity of them returning later in the years ahead?
3). I know we all know what is going on with the contests, but it there any possiblity of a contest coming back every now and then or something in the future?

I have had a look at how many of the awards have been requested, as you can see there just isn't the demand for it. Quite a few were requested during the Holidays when you could request all of them at once. Making the awards can be very time-consuming especially since Sven also makes the awards/banners for all the sister sites too. Based on these numbers it is highly doubtful they will return.

I feel like this site still could have more going on if some staff returned to help out, ya know? I am in no way trying to upset anyone or be disrespectful, but I feel like even for an inactive forum, 3 Mods and Admins can't entirely run the whole thing by themselves to also have things like what I was referring, even though they are still doing a great job at it.

I don't know, I feel like the staff should be more interested and involved if they are staff. Just my opinion I guess.

I understand what you are saying but it is not our job to keep you all entertained. It is our job to make sure our
Policies are adhered to. Don't forget we are not paid for doing this and we give up our free time (sometimes not so free as we all have families/work/school/whatever). Some days there are no new posts to read (yes, I read every single post) but I still log in every day. Someone has already brought up the subject of bringing more Mods in to liven this place up, you will find Zilly's answer
here. Ultimately it is you, the members, who will have to do that and despite new members joining every week the majority do not post
