If you're having a hard time figuring out on who to give out these coins, just give it out to people sorted by bpip's most recognized. That'd help a lot to be honest, when it comes to the screening process.
The owner of the BPIP site is currently involved with contacting the IRS against another coin maker. I would not have the distribution of the forum coin based solely on a third party site ran by an unhinged user. Bitcoin wasn't created to appease the government nor the IRS. Don't taint these coins/celebration tokens.
