Do gaming awards represent the community well enough?

[Jubal]

I just came up with this as an interesting discussion topic: it's the Golden Joysticks today, one of the larger gaming awards ceremonies. There are a load of categories for different sort of game - indie, best storytelling etc - but no awards for modding or community groups/sites other than YouTube game shows. Surely if YT channels get an award game sites and modders, equally critical parts of most game communities, should? What do you all think?

I agree Jubal, I think you should get the Golden Joystick award too.

[Jubal]

Thankyou, Khan, though I think that's unlikely regardless. 

[Cuddly Khan]

Yeah, it'd be something like DayZ or some other big modding project.

Isn't there some kind of mod of the year award on ModDB given in several different categories?
