Here's a fresh idea (until someone tells me it's already been suggested...) If I think about the real community of DPC, I know there's a notable group of people who keep the torch burning.
Some comment like an art critic to help the new member, others post thought provoking excercises, some just portray a great example of being a role model. No matter what the specifics, I'm sure everyone who has been on DPC for a while has a few people to thank for their photographic growth and pleasurable experience here.
How about a new class of ribbon, or some other pixelware prize that is based on nominations on some interval. The site council, or some new council, whatever, would select from the nominations on some interval and their profile / forum icon would include an icon.
The people I have in mind would probably tell you that they wouldn't want that recognition, but I think it would make a lot of people feel good about the time they put in to a community they believe in, and it would require very little effort from a programming perspective.
Any thoughts?
Edit: That interval ought to be wide enough so as to keep numbers low. Maybe quarterly, or bianually.
