    Worth noting they’re not just ‘discontinuing’ coins and awards - but removing them retroactively.

    This Admin comment notes that the awards themselves will be removed, so posts and comments will no longer display the awards they received; it’s not just that the feature is being sunset, but all awards will vanish from the site.

      well on a postive note there were tons of fake awards given by admins to make it seem like posts were popular. So those are going away

      That’s BS. People paid money to give out awards and they’re deleting them?

      Spez is a little weasel.
