• I think it’s fun and shows who has been here for a while. I just hope it doesn’t alienate newcomers. Good job guys!

• for the love of all that is good and sacred, what the !@# do the “Pilgrim” and “Old Timer” awards mean?? Aug was, at best, cryptic in one thread about “Pilgrim”, but I don’t get the connection she implies.

  There Fluthergods – are you happy? Has this appeased you?!? TELL US PLEASE!

• @J0E: Most of the tidepool-level awards are easy to unlock — we’ve done some tweaking to make sure there’s a fairly even distribution about when people can unlock them.

• @andrew That’s good because I know from prior experiences that award systems can be a big turn off to newcomers, but I’m glad to see you took that in consideration.

• Sorry, but it alienates me.

• I think it is fun and I am enjoying it so far. Good job and thanx.

  I didn’t like the riddle though of figuring out what the one’s without descriptions meant/ mean. Really made/makes me feel like a fool that I couldn’t/can’t get them.

• Cute and clever but will have a short life-span for me (and Milo).

• Hahaha not a bad idea at all to keep us regulars here. Hook line and sinker eh?

• I like it, it’s fun. I really enjoyed each award’s description and got a big kick out of them. If nothing else, it’s definitely been a conversation-starter around here. 🙂

• Interesting idea, but slow-thinking me took a while to figure out where they were displayed. Not quite as good as a free t-shirt or a mug, but not bad. It is fun to see what each is, but the thrill soon goes away.

• Funny as 🙂 Well they made me smile, do the comments that appear when you roll over them change I wonder? I’ll check that out later!! Loving the site still and just as much addicted as I was when I started!

• I love the awards! They’re so much fun! Although, I do count myself among the ones who have no idea what those last three awards are for. I mean, I have a pilgrim award and I don’t know why. It’s interesting to try and figure out though…

• I love the awards. It’s kind of hard to get them when you have an iTouch and the keys are about as big as my pinkie toe’s fingernail, but I like doing this at school (don’t tell my teachers!) because it gets me thinking. (:

  I’ll get to be a robot crush one day!
