Jeff, I'm REALLY liking that post interaction feature. It may sound silly to some, but I think it adds depth to engagement that is typical of modern social media platforms.
The "Golden Pen" reaction would be absolutely perfect for the show off your pen forum. Not just a compliment for anything, but a compliment for those awesome pens. It would make this website even more unique.
Will there be trophys too for various things you do on the site, like donating, asking questions, answering questions, getting a gold star. And also earning corny names the more posts you make?? I belong to a scrolling site that does this and it is weird but there are those that love it. Look forward to our new digs.
Those features are available in the new software. "Reputation points" can be earned for answering questions, etc. I'll need time to see which features would be enjoyed here. Tell me the name of your scrolling site and I'll have a look at how they do it.
"User titles" been available with our current software (called "promotions" here when they change based on post count), but we've never used them.

There are a lot of user engagement features coming, especially for mobile devices. Things like push notifications when someone mentions you in a post, etc.

I'll add just a thought, and it is my opinion only.
I would hate for any system of "awards, points, silly icons" to be available for "recognition" of simply posting answers, replying to threads, and creating threads. This will lead to some folks simply bumping their post count for silly self-esteem reasons.
Yes, I understand that this is important to some folks, but sheesh... I would hate to see efforts being expended simply to get the "Golden Pretty Pen" award for the "whatever" criteria.
Our current process of "likes" is a good starting point for logical appreciation for useful photos/information. I'm certainly not against newer formats, I just hope it will not morph into a contest for "Icon Awards" below our name.
