I personally would like to see Kudos gotten rid of ...When I first came to PC I did a hug to all of PC and stated very much what you have said that I did not want to miss people ....so I would rather just get rid of it..I think its inane at best.
It is a cruel on a mental health board to hug some and not ALL and who can keep up
Hugs then in their PM hug them on their thread hug them when they first sign in say a new memebers area UP TOP of the site .....I see a lot of cliques in here and have said that for some time...this is not new to me. So my 2 cents is get rid of it
