What happened to congratulatory Sift Talk posts?

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.

Well, because I'm bored and trying my best to put off some work that I have to do for as long as possible, I went back and found what I think is the last congratulatory post: this one, for MycroftHomlz almost nine months ago. So it's been a while.

I think it fell to the wayside in the aftermath of some unpleasantness - some people know what I mean. I certainly lost interest in doing them.

It was mainly kronosposeidon, rasch187 and myself that did them, as far as I remember - certainly others did some too. I'll be all for bringing them back, and I have considered doing it again earlier too, since there have been quite a few worth achievers lately.

It's sorta morphed into posts on a user's profile instead now, but it would be nice to get a big congrats poster on the sift talk again.

I would also like to see them become the norm again, particularly for when I hit diamond.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate @gwiz665 on breaking into the Top 15 sifters of all time in the last week or so.

i would love to create a congrats post but lack certain skillz in making one even remotely appealling i.e:photoshop savvy.
rasch,krono and so many others do such an amazing job and i guess i was complacent in even attempting my inept hackery and indirectly passed off the responsibility onto others.

great..thanks sarzy!
now i am feeling awkward and ashamed of myself...
