I would say rather that the current Hugo voting population, by and large, is ignorant of fanzines and that having something called a "Best Fanzine" Hugo rewards those zine-like objects which are most familiar to non-fanzine-reading voters. That's not the same thing.
Emerald City was a fanzine, albeit an online one. Most blogs are not, nor do they want to be; Ghu knows mine isn't. Calling a "Best Fannish Website" Hugo the "Best Fanzine" Hugo would be both a-historical and incorrect.
