There should be best GBC Hack and Best GBA Hack, they're practically two different hacking styles.

The judging system is fair, and I do not think it will be revised. Most of the people that expected Shiny Gold to win, was because they did not see that there was a judging round.
If this year's system was like last year's, I would be sure, too, that Shiny Gold would win, because of its many fans.

The system will not be like this, next year, the system is going back to the basics. And as I said before, the results will probably not be revised, if members did not like this year's system, they should have had complained in the earlier phases of it.

That's what I was saying. Don't revise the results of this year. I mean that in future years, if people have problems with THIS system they should make it known now so that in future years people won't have the complaint that they have no say in the system
 
But you gotta admit, it was a pretty hilarious presentation on H.S.'s part with the suspense and the spoiler tag ("You've been had."). :D

I think I taught my computer screen some new words out of anger when I opened that spoiler xD
 
It's just a voting, it's not like the people winning prizes are the kings of the world. huh
It's not like they're winning many prizes after all
 
Hacks do get respect for getting awards, although I don't think getting second place hurt Shiny Gold much. xD

It's amazing Rocket's Revenge managed to get 2nd place without a Public Beta released yet, that was something to go down in the history books

That people should care a bit less about this.

Well, Zel, Coolboyman, and EarthsVisitor have all put a lot of time in effort into this. It's understanding that they, and their fans, could feel great excitement or disappointment at the results
it's only natural
 
YESSSSSSSSSSS

Prism deserved HOTY

:D:D:D

YESSSSSSSS

Finally Coolboyman and Prism deserved a high level award after so long.

As a long time supporter of his three hacks - Brown, Prism and RijonAdv, he totally deserve an award after being on the romhacking scene for the past 8 years when Red and Blue romhacking was the time.

And yesssss.... Im so happy that Prism won after many hours of tiredness work that he had put in for many of his new features such as donating Pokemon and sidescrolling xD

Anyways, Sometimes next year, I am sure Rijon or the new Brown would take on HOTY 2008 since Coolboyman deserve any and all high level awards cause he > all of you. Serioiusly, I am not kidding - Coolboyman is undoubtly one of the BEST romhacker I have seen in the past 7 years I had been with Romhacking since October 21st 2000. There are other top romhackers that still considered the best in my books are Cartmic, Mr Meam Mustard a.k.a The Dude, Meowth/Mikasa, Jazz and Chiklit. They were all awesome.

But yeah, why I am not mentioning Zel? Zel can be a great scripter in many people eyes and always help them with advices etc but in my honest opinion, this guy is well... not in my books because ...but still I dont wanna mention it here.

However, in conclusion to this post

Congrats to Coolboyman - this guy is always AWESOME. and not just forgot to mention the congrats to Zel, Earth and the judges for making it possible for Prism to reach to the first place :D

There is the problem of there being not as many GBC hacks out there as there once were.

Splitting them would leave a choice between maybe 6 GBC hacks

I don't think that would be a problem... In StudioPokemon I won the Best Emerald-based Hack, and there whas just only other contendant: Pokémon Eisstrum.

These two types of hacking have so much differences to be compared each other, in my oppinion.
 
That is true, and now that I think about it, it would actually make the judging easier
 
You know what?

I think a sub award is fair for Shiny Gold, to take as "Best GBA hack of 2007.".

I think the judges were put there because most people voting in the past weren't judging fairly, they didn't play all the hacks and choices before voting and had a bias. I think it was about basically judging the hacks, and not seeing which one gets the most votes. Either way, I truly thought Shiny Gold would of won the judging feature, but it still deserves to take home the title Best GBA Hack of 2007.

Yeah you're right.

If Coolboyman says this; then, despite I support was I stated before, I reject the idea of reviewing the judges' votes which would be a little "heavy" but split the award into 2 categories (GBA & GBC) like always had been done:
GBC Hack of the Year 2007
GBA Hack of the Year 2007
-See this for an example:
HS' Hack Hall of Fame

What do you say then Hiroshi?

HEY NOW!
I understand if you think that SG was better, and if you think it was truly the best hack, and if you think it truly deserved it, but where the hell do you come off saying it's better than prism just because prism is G/S/C?
The games were ranked on several categories. How pretty the hack is isn't the only thing it's graded on

All of these hacks deserve respect. don't diss the HoTY because you don't like second gen. that's just ignorant and closeminded
