Iron Mic still around?

Good day everyone,

I’m returning to the network after a few year hiatus and seem to notice I can’t find a lot of mention of Iron Mic awards being run anymore. Is this something that is still tracked and awarded or has it been dismissed. I remember it as a fun and friendly competition that led to consistent coverage of an aerodrome or sector for a week giving pilots plenty of opportunity to fly out/in/around these areas without the worry of ATC login off.

So I guess my question is;
Is Iron Mic Awards still being run?
If not, why not? If so, is this something that should be considered being brought back? I know plenty of people that would love to see it happen.

Thanks all!

Nope. Cancelled as there was suggestion of skullduggery and unattended connections. VATSIM stopped it some years ago.

Actually, Iron mike has been going on and it is monthly. You can find it in the announcements in the VATUSA discord.

A distinction must be made as this is a VATUSA-ran thing and not the worldwide iron mic ran by the BoG that the OP is, I believe, referencing.
