I support the removal. The Emerald Awards do seem a bit repetitive, with both the winners and the nominees. Some users and blogs are left out, too, despite their efforts, and it just seems that the same people win and several other people don't get a chance. Even if they did get a chance, in the end, it just feels like a bunch of popularity polls.

However, if the Emerald Awards were to continue, I would like to propose something: have more than one user handle each Emerald Award. I only see one user make each blog, and when it's handled by one person, it's very easy to miss some activity or some things that would be made. If a few users were to handle each blog, it's likely that less things will be missed, and the chances of the Awards being more fair to the users of the community will be great. If it were revised to have a few active users work on it together, then I would reconsider my vote.
