Comment from thread OP:

Existing awards will be removed from posts and comments; this will happen after Coins/Awards are sunset on Sept 12.

The changes we are announcing today will not have an impact on award-related trophies on user profiles, except that once awards are no longer available, those trophies will stop being delivered.

These changes also won’t have an impact on users who have already accumulated Premium via gifted awards.

Removing legacy awards doesn’t make sense to me. Why burry it? Piss off existing users? Create a clean slate for new users? How is it profitable?

I’m also noticing how this change is getting more notice than the API changes. So. Slow clap spez. o7 /s
