Secret titles. On most forums you have the ability to add a title under your name (if the forum allows), I gave my users the ability to do so at 100 posts. What I did extra was had a list of special numbers that if ever a users post count landed on that number the title was temporarily changed. Certain ones like "42 = The Answer", "123 = Easy as ABC", "314, 3141, 31415 ... = I Like Pi" and so on. The amusing thing was that spammers never caught the titles, but regular users would actually find fun in stumbling over a new title. Sounds stupid, as it was, but it added an extra bit of fun through achieving something new.
It was a fun thing at the time. The way general users are these days (with fast content consumption and aggregation) it would be lost on most. Its still fun to plant easter eggs around the place and let people "stumble" upon them.
Sounds like a really cool easter egg concept!
