You know what I mean (though newer members might not, I guess): posts to congratulate people who've just hit a new sifting level (i.e. gold star, silver diamond, etc.). It just occurred to me that they've completely disappeared. I went back to see when the last one was, but I lost interest once I got about three months back. They always seemed, to me, to be a nice way to recognize and spotlight individual members' contributions to the site. I miss them (though I just noticed they were gone after who-knows-how-long, so I guess I don't miss them that much).

Next time you see someone hit a new level, think about putting up a quick post in Sift Talk (I will too, though I'll admit that I'm not nearly as active here as I once was). I think it makes this a friendlier place.
