The original idea was to have a place where people could give other people awards for their achievements, but the first set of people that used the site didn't want to engage in that way. That's really what I wanted to build. After a bit I realized that most people weren't congratulating other people but actually tweeting or updating their own wall with their own achievements. That's why the site switched its focus to more of a "bragging" site. It's weird that talking about real world achievements has a negative connotation, yet online gaming achievements are not. Thanks for the reply.
