Award Website Closures

Sadly, two QIWA certified independent award-giving websites have closed this year: the Crystal Award and the Cameradio Award. One of the factors that brought about these closures was the amount of spam being received. It's a shame, because website design appears to be getting worse, not better, with many web designers preferring a flashy site with video footage and annoying adverts to a user-friendly site. I've just spent a solid hour paying my credit card bill online and finding out my password for a neglected card. User-friendly? Forget it.
