Awards?
OK, We have an user called Patrick. His avatar space consists of his avatar and a picture captioned "Award: Wink". What does it mean? Can you start giving awards once again?
'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'

I have thought about that but there is one big problem.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

I had a different list for the various people but saw that no matter what you said it would just make everyone unhappy.
