I am proud to be affiliated with the following fine organizations.
Due to the ignorance of others either not reading my award criteria or just refusing to abide by it, I will no longer offer my awards. I am just tired of people expecting me to make exceptions for their site, either they don't realize or just don't care that if I made an exception for them I would have to make and exception for everyone.
When people put award criteria in place it is for a reason and its not to be ignored. It has gotten to the point that I dread opening my award email. I wonder how many people either overlooked the stated criteria or ask me in their application to make an exception for their site, stating I would feel it worth the exception. Well folks, there are hundreds of thousands of others out there feeling their site worthy of being exempt from the criteria, so if I made an exception for one I would have to for many others as well.
When awarding sites no longer is fun, but rather a chore and bother, its time to give it up, and that is what my award program has become to me. I may one day decide to reopen it but right now it will remain closed until further notice.
I will leave the following links in place because they are really good resource areas for sites offering awards and I would like to keep my rating on award sites and just because I worked hard for a couple years to get my program where its at today.
