Board Thread:News and Announcements!/@comment-7971816-20150130231341

Hello everyone!

Time for another update.

I've already spoken to some users about this, but this is the official announcement. For the past month or so, The 100 Wikia has been in talks with Grounderssource, a website and podcast about the show. We got in touch and decided to make our own little awards show. It will be held during the hiatus between season two and season tree (expect it around March).

The Grounder Awards is a two-part community-organised awards show. The first part will be related to the show (characters, episodes, and so on). The second part will be about the fandom (favorite twitter, best fanart, etc.) We are currently talking about what these categories all should be. When we have set them all up, there will be an announcement to commence the voting proces. You will be able to vote in the awards. The winning subject (character,..) will get a special badge on the page, and will be featured on the main page under featured article, but it's mainly just a fun way of expressing who or what you like in the show. The second part is held in the same spirit. It's not about winning, but it's all about participating.

Make sure to vote when the time comes. You can always message me (TotallyTinkerbell) if you think someone or something should be included in the possible voting categories. Make sure to title your message 'Grounder Awards' so I know what it's about.

Secondly, I wanted to add in a little note ; The wikia is growing a lot lately, which is good. A lot of people appeared to have binged the show over the winter hiatus, as our editor number has risen. However these are mostly unregistered users. Therefore I'd love to promote the concept of creating an account. That way you can personalize your profile and you'll have many more features to connect with other fans, such as chat.

Also, myself and the other admins are considering adding someone to the council. A councilman or -woman is involved in the wikia-related decisions made by the admins. He or she can then be given admin rights if they prove to be a good addition to this post. It does not require much effort at all, given you already contribute on a pretty regular basis.

Thanks for reading

Kind regards
