Hello, the title. Reddit won’t refund it, so I am stuck with them and have nothing to use for. Is there any way to turn them back into money?

Big thank you to the mods, appreciate that vetting a server can be a pain!

Feel free to comment on it, i will just end it when i run out by R$50

Mine is #0082ff, a very nice blue

*ETA: My kids and I were pretty invested in our NYE activities and crafts so I lost track of time and my free awards expired before I came back. No regrets.
Everyone gets an award anyway!
Welcome to 2025- may it be good to you all.

I'll also be giving at least two "real" awards and some BUX because why not?

No specific challenge so I'll award randomly unless something shiny catches my eye, like a reply that makes me laugh, makes me think, really could be anything.

I'll close around midnight-ish PST. Thanks for stopping by everyone!

They expire tomorrow giving them out while I can

Expiring in 9 hours

Edit: I'm all out of awards, reddit will probably never give free awards again rest in peace!

that time someone posted that challenge and everyone had fun doing it and then someone won and got an award? Good times 😊

Are you ready to draw? Let's go folks:

Can't wait to see you all there!

I've seen a lot of posts about this subreddit being closed. Ant that makes me sad. I came to this subreddit late in my journey, as well as r/pan. I miss the way things were. It's time for things to change. I'm willing to start a Saturday Night Game Night. Kahoots, Skribbl.io, or whatever you guys want. Share this post. Anyone who is interested should comment on the original post on r/GoForGold.

I'm thinking this will be a skribbl.io game, starting 11/16/24 at 9pm EST. We'll go as long as people are interested in playing. I'll post the original room link at 8:30pm EST, and we'll go when the room is full. I'll host a vote on 11/17 as to whether it should be skribbl.io, Kahoots, or something else the following week. We'll go from there.

What do you all think?

Hi, this is my first post here and I just want to say thanks for being so nice!

i was here from a comment in a post asking what r/lounge is

Almost like i never left. Every Friday i come back to see that its sometimes the simple things in life that makes life joyful.

Happy Friday!

You've worked a lot, take a weekend off. 🥰

I love you more than gold

I loved getting a free seal to give to someone with a lovely post

In the realm of virtual cheers, where karma once did gleam,
Reddit's stars of gold were gifts in a digital dream.
Each post, a gleaming treasure, a beacon in the thread,
A reward of worth and wonder for words that others read.

We traded in the currency of gold and silver bright,
An upvote's gentle whisper, a downvote's subtle bite.
A gilded badge of honor, a shimmering delight,
Now lost in the vast echoes of an algorithm’s might.

The threads once brimmed with gold stars, bestowed with thoughtful grace,
Now empty are the riches, now dim the cherished space.
Where is the gilded glory, the shimmer and the shine?
In the new age of rewards, those tokens are now a sign.

Reddit's bounty has withered, its stars no longer shine,
The gold has turned to whispers, the shimmer lost in time.
We long for what was golden, for the worth of days gone by,
In the space where once it glittered, a digital goodbye.

So here’s to the lost treasures, to the rewards that went away,
We miss the gold’s warm luster, and the shine of yesterday.
In the echo of our memories, the gold still brightly gleams,
A relic of the past’s glory, a fragment of our dreams.

Who wants to have a contest for the silliest AI poetry?

It has been almost a year since reddit removed awards, I was very active here previously. Anyways, All good things come to an end

Do you miss the days of GFG challenges? Do you want a chance to have fun with the community? If so, you should sign up for Lanky's Trials today!

Lanky's Trials is a challenge series (similar to The Great Internet Race or The Space Race on r/GoForGold) where contestants will compete in several challenges over the course of 2-3 weeks, and contestants will be eliminated each round until one contestant remains, and they will win 3 months of Discord Nitro Basic!

Challenges may include:
🕹️ Browser/arcade style games

🧩 Timed puzzles

🔎 Estimation challenges

♟️ Social and strategic challenges

📝 And more!

We are also friendly to all timezones, so you won't need to be active at specific times of day. Challenges are posted every 24 hours and can be done each day on your schedule.

Sign up on our Discord Server today! Sign ups will close by the end of August.

Meme Challenge

Also, whoever comments a link to the funniest SFW and rule-following meme you can find or create will win 20 GFG BUX! Challenge ends about 7 2 days after this challenge is posted.

Extended to give people some more time to enter.

Lanky's Trials is the rebooted version of The Great Internet Race, a challenge series I hosted 6 seasons of on r/GoForGold and Discord a while back. Essentially, there will be a new challenge every day or two, the best performing teams/players get safety and power in the game and the losers are at risk of being eliminated.

Just to get to the point, the season will (most likely) look like:

• 8 contestants
• 2-3 weeks
• Grand prize winner will receive their choice of 3 months of Discord Nitro Basic or 1 month of full Discord Nitro
• No consolation prizes are planned at this time due to the end of Reddit Awards
• The format will be a lot simpler than the later seasons of TGIR, so there won't be multiple currencies, lootboxes, and tons of power ups complicating things. It will be more similar to TGIR 1 and 2 if you're familiar.

If you want to join the Discord server for Lanky's Trials, you may join here. Right now it's a read-only archive of most of TGIR's old server, but if and when Lanky's Trials starts, it will be hosted on there.

I really want to make this a thing again for everyone here, and although the 10 or 20 thousand Reddit Coin prize pots can't happen anymore, we still always have each other throughout all of this. Whether or not this happens, I want to say thank you for always being an amazing community.

Give your feedback in the poll below and in the comments. Suggestions are always welcome.

Hi r/GoForGold! Things have really changed in the last few months around here, but I hope you’re all doing well.

In 2021 and 2022, I hosted six seasons of The Great Internet Race, a multi week Reddit/Discord challenge series where contestants are eliminated until someone wins the grand prize. I then cancelled TGIR 7, renamed Lanky’s Trials, for personal reasons and lower sign up numbers compared to past seasons.

This might be a long shot, since this subreddit is kind of dead lately and games such as TGIR worked better in early 2021 years when I started it since a lot of people were stuck inside. But I’m kind of missing hosting these kind of challenges and think that something like this might bring a little more life into the community here.

It would likely be a very short and simple season to start with just a few players, probably 2-3 weeks of challenges (compared to even the shortest TGIR seasons lasting 5-6 weeks) to keep the commitment short for everyone, and since Reddit awards aren’t really a thing anymore, the prize definitely won’t be as major (most likely just bragging rights and a month or two of Discord Nitro). However, I think it could still be as fun for everyone here.

By all means don’t take this as a “TGIR is coming back” or anything, I just want to see what the community thinks of the idea. I don’t know, but maybe it could bring some people back together.

I was thinking Steve.

This sub is unfortunately pretty much dead. :( so what is everyone's favorite cheese? mine is goat cheese.

Hi All, though I don’t have anything to offer, I thought it might be fun to reminisce over fun times that some of you have had in this sub. Please also include your favourite type of ice cream in your response. Not for any weird reason, I’m just interested.
