I was thinking, and not because I want any or could even get one, but I thought it would be cool to do a quarterly awards presentation(privately or not), or even on a random basis, type of award certificate presentation that can be emailed to the recipient of the certificate.
You can have an "annual" awards "e-show" if you'd like, once a year even.
I think that there are some funny as heck postings, topics, and replies on this forum that people should be recognized for. Even some down right serious emotional issues that could be recognized.
The certificate award for a particular category would be emailed as a PDF or jpeg, 8x10 size, with poster's JWDF id name, and I'm sure plenty of people here would love to print and frame them at home.
Would there be a way of having "number of awards" given listed under the id name, kind of like how the posts are displayed? No one needs to know what anyone has gotten them for, if they are given privately.
If this could be pulled off, I think it would be nice and uplifting.
Possible Categories anyone? (no negative ones though like "Dumbest Topic", let's keep it positive)
1) Funny Topic/Reply Award
2) Most Detailed Reply Award
3) Very Heartfelt Topic or Reply award
4) Most Posts Award
5) Coolest Newbie Award
6) Welcome New Member Certificate
7) Longest Lurker Award
and so on....... Could be too complex, but I think if done with some good thought, it could be fairly easy.
Just an idea. I'm a graphic designer and could provide the digital awards for emailing if help is needed in that area.
