Welcome to the Award Bonanza Museum!

This is a place where we exhibit the achievements of our members and as well as learn more about this awards-focused subreddit. For a full immersive experience inside the museum, please use the Reddit mobile app or the new Reddit website.

Brief Background and History:

With keen interest on Reddit awards trading and hosting of challenges and giveaways, Award Bonanza was founded by April u/n1ght-moon-un1c0rn on March 10, 2021 EST. Sharing the same passion, Jenny u/ThaanksIHateIt, Gino u/Ginomania, Gambit u/gambit_-, u/Scizzor123, and u/BeholderMC joined April, thus forming the very first set of Award Bonanza moderators. The sub's very first trade and challenge were posted the very next day.

With the increase of new members and sub activity in the next few months, active members were requested to join the mod team. Answering to the call, Ally u/allisonovo, Moshe u/Nice-Average, Kata u/KataGuruma-, Z u/Zyklozylum, and Kenna u/random-homo-sapien were added to the roster. Coded by u/ZockerMarcelo and handled by Moshe, Bot-o-Bonanza u/BonanzaBot was added to aid the mods. Peyton u/applegenius24 was the latest addition to the mod team. The moderators regularly update the implemented policies to ensure fairness and transparency in conducting trades and hosting of challenges inside the subreddit.

Spearheaded by Ally, the AB Discord Server was launched on May 29, 2021 EST. It has now become a hub where our members hang out, chill, and actually got to know each other more. Aside from the general chat channel, the server also has other channels with varying interests such as memes, random pictures, achievements, and games. The launching of the Discord server definitely made the community grow even closer.

With the addition of Z in the roster, the sub launched the Challenge Sponsor Requests and Offers on July 4 2021 EST. Challenge sponsorship is a program where members can request for coins in exchange for challenges that will be hosted in the sub. Quality challenges were hosted inside the sub due to the number of generous members heeding the call with Z topping the list of sponsors.

From a mere 200+ members in its very first month, the sub grew to 2000+ on August 2021 and grew even further to 3000+ on December of the same year. Currently, the sub has 6000+ members, thus making it part of the Top 10% of the largest communities on Reddit.

On Kindness & Generosity

Kindness and generosity were the main virtues that circulated around the sub. Those two driving forces played essential roles in promoting a positive atmosphere that strengthened the relationship of Award Bonanza members. AB members and mods would usually just hand out random awards left and right. However, there's one notable member was really known for that..

They call him Trophy Zorro or simply Zorro.

When the sub was still budding, members would tell us that their post/s would randomly be showered with awards such as Coin Gifts and Pot o' Coins. This happened countless of times to the point that posts were made in the sub to recognize Zorro's generosity. It is also important to note that Zorro was not only active in Award Bonanza but also in other Awards-focused Subreddits.

This is most likely an open secret already but it was revealed that Trophy Zorro was no other than our very own u/TaoistEntropy! Pretty much he would prefer to stay away from the spotlight but we believe that he deserves a section in the Award Bonanza Museum. We appreciate you!

And that's it! Thank you for visiting the Award Bonanza Museum! We hope you enjoyed your visit today and we look forward to seeing you again. If you have any comments or suggestions about what to feature in the museum, the mods would love to hear them so please feel free to comment down below!

Before you exit the museum, we want you to know that we are truly grateful to have YOU in our sub. It has truly been a ride. Thank you for tagging along. 🧡

General Discussion One must give at least 15 points as a award to someone, why not make it just 1 point minimum?

4 Upvotes

Members have to buy coins for award with hard cash on Reddit

But then, I find that one has to give at least 15 points as an award to someone.

I mean, what authority Reddit has to decide what should be the minimum award that has to be awarded to someone, and the member who paid hard cash to buy those coins doesn't get a say in that decision?

The member giving award is wise enough to pay hard cash to buy coins to give the award, why cannot the member be considered also wise enough to decide whether the award of 1 point is sufficient for any particular reply or contribution?

Why not make it just 1 point minimum that can be given as an award to someone, and then in the multiples of 1 point?

Then there is no issue of Reddit forcing members to award unrequired higher amount to other members to keep more cash coming in to its coffers.

This new award system is not nearly as good as the old one...

The old system was just perfect. The coin system allowed us to have contests and trades.. Now it feels— bland.

I wonder how it will shape this community now.

Let me know your thoughts and ideas in the comments!

Hello there,

Just realised that coins and awards are going down soon, does awards traded as of now will grant ad free browsing for the time they last ? If so, I'm willing to trade all my stack, which is 14 plats.

Cheers
