Well, apparently the site doesn't offer a bunch of fireworks and unicorns when you crack 30k reputation. I guess we can put that rumor to bed.

@AlE. Congratulations! I hear Jon Ericson is still thinking about additional privileges for high-rep users. Fireworks might still happen.

@Bookend Yes, I've seen that post. Voted on a couple of suggestions, too.

@Bookend That may explain a lot of the mysterious "who the heck would vote for this crap" I saw recently.
