This is just my quick reply, and many already know my answer, but I don't like forum community awards done like that. They generally end up being popularity contests and the members who don't get chosen feel bad about it (even if they'll only admit so secretly). Regardless of the promises people have given not to take them "too seriously", I've never seen good things come from them.

That said... I'd never say "absolutely not" to the thing if others really wanted to see them done, my overall vote would just be a no. Still, I'm always open to ideas/suggestions on how to hold such awards differently (maybe more skill-based and less popularity-ish).
