Thread rewards: I'm fine with giving some nominal (nothing valuable) rewards for creating threads, but I also don't want to put rewards in for successful threads. That sounds like a good way to reward users who happen to be first to the punch on a topic that's guaranteed to be popular, and to make users who can't think of a good topic idea (let's face it, not everyone who can participate in a conversation can necessarily think of a subject for a new one) feel left out.

Game tokens: Back in the day we'd discussed a non-disappearing game token. Your Pandora tokens would get used first (and refill to 3 as now) and when you're out then you'd automatically use the other type.

N-Day Active rewards: I agree with the suggestion that users get rewards for posting over time instead of just in bursts. Maybe if you post at least once a week you get to retain some special status.

Saved Avatars: The code is already in the system for it and it's worked for years. The complicated part is putting a UI on it that doesn't cause confusion.

Who's Online: I agree with 24-hour-active users instead of currently-active users.

Board Games: Why board games? What's wrong with Forum Games?

Gifts: There's already a "send items immediately" function in the trade system. I absolutely DO NOT want a way for items to appear directly in someone's inventory. Way too much room for error.

Picture gallery: I don't want to support uploads to Trisphee, but I guess I would be OK with a gallery-like bbcode function.

Daily challenges: I like this idea. Let's talk more about it.

Linking to other sites' accounts: A good idea in theory, but messy in practice.

RNG for posts: Useful, should do this.

Trophies: Agreed, good idea, but needs some art.
