as most of you have seen there's a little award tab under your account avatar I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for awards.

I was thinking you can display it on your profile and it could even be seen when you post.

they would look like a steam badge minus the levels (or maybe levels if it could be some how incorporated)

-----obvious ones-----

  1. every certain amount of posts
  2. an award for every 6 months or year your forum account is active
  3. having an active account during events (summer, Christmas, etc)

So, whats your idea?

I'm not very familiar with forum rewards, but I think in addition to the ones you stated we should also have awards for reading the server at peculiar times (such as reading the forums late at night or early in the morning).

Tom's Hardware has a similar badge called Night Owl: "Up late and sifting through the posts and threads between 1 am - 6 am has earned you a badge!"
