2005 "Hack of the Year"
Brought to you by The ROM-Hacking/Emulation Mods

As most of you know, hacks take time to make. It is one of the most wonderful things we, Rom-Hackers, like to do. When we get comments saying how people like our hacks, it just gives us the courage and enthusiasm to keep making the game. We wouldn’t be able to go on, most of us, if you guys haven’t given us your support all this year. I would like to take a time to congratulate all the people who have been hacking and giving some of their time away to make these hacks. You are really marvelous persons! *claps*

I would also like to give a round of applause to those people, who may not hack, but give us their support all the way. It is with your support that we keep on giving our best.

Well the 2005 Hack of the Year Awards serves as a way of thanking and congratulating all of you dedicated rom hackers who have given their time on making these awsome hacks here in the "Hack Showcase"

These awards will be given out to the best hacks that have shown the most amazing improvements, effort, or outstanding performance with their storylines, graphics, comebacks, and more...!!!
Well the awards will be only open for those hacks that have started before May 1st, 2005. This way we can be sure that only those hacks have at least some time in the process. The hacks do not need to be completed in order to be nominated. The awards will be divided into the following major categories and some minor categories as well.Only the major categories will be stickied for the month of January 1st through April 1st. With their name changed into"Hack of The Year 2005..."

Nominating for hacks can only be done in this thread, no other posts are allowed. A list of the sections and nominees will be available by October. You can nominate hacks if you know them, but if you don’t you can wait a while until the list comes out. Any new category you think should be added let me know by PM.

This year we have made some changes, we have ony one HotY vote. Which this winner will have a sticky thread ONLY. The rest of the winners will be given an award banner.

Discussion Thread ONLY

Jason that list i posted is the one from last year. It is not the one that is going to be this year. You have to nominate a hack for each category. So unless you read that whole post you got it wrong...

Well... I don't know I havent seen too much action this year with HotY so what I might end up doing is have a select team along with all mods pick the awarding hack. Unless any of the other members are still interested.

Well i think I might run differently thi year. I will have all 2004 from October, November and December, and all 2005 from January to September hacks that have won an award from like monthly hack be nominees. In this case we have more chances and make sure that the hacks that get nominated are worthy of obtaining HotY.

The votings are now closed and due to the lack fo people actually caring about the votes and follow instructions and read the thread. the HotY Award will be awarded to the hack that all three mods have voted on. Results will be posted soon, al other votes from teh Vote threads for other categories will still count.

We hope that next time, members will actually take the HotY more seriously and dont complaint in the end regarding teh results, sincwe in the end its you who voted and not us, this time it was like this since Ice had alwready won l;ast year and we said No Consequative Hacks.
