Those sorts of things could be done as random events anyway, a big part of the reason awards and achievements aren't huge here is because most people don't really seem to care enough about having an extra icon on their profile to do anything more than just click the request button for things they'd have done regardless. Community building through "spontaneous" group activity doesn't require rigid systems :P
I myself do prefer the achievementd system. However, I feel that the awards that are given out should only be used for staff based or community based "achievements" for example quick quizzes, SoTM, Wiki Top Contributor (yes that still exists, with its 2 or so members).
On the other hand, as its proven throughout this thread if the interest in the system has been lost then its just another unique idea thrown on the scrap heap. In all honesty I think that there's a lot of potential for the achievements system; provding its easily accesable.
I know myself Ive had to route around a few threads to find the specific ones I needed - possibly make or put them into its own child forum or own parent.
The topic kinda sidetracked from the awards and onto achievements and other. But in all honesty I dont think there's any real need for a badge because you purchased VIP. Ok its a nice gesture for saying thank you, but people buy the VIP for the colours and style not the unseen badge on your profile until you bother to look.
I dont know I think badges should be used for community/staff based achievements as stated above and put more effort into the achievements system, get more management members on board to help fulfill its purpose?!
i third this^ theyre pretty cool to look at sometimes.
Didn't it used to say the number of awards in the postbit
Oops hope these auto merge but just wondering what these few awards are about:
Gold Winner
For winning a Habbox Event or Competition
Silver Winner
Winning an Event/Competition
Bronze Winner
For winning a Competition/Event
They all seem to be for winning even though it's gold/silver/bronze and it's not very specific about what you have to win like is it any old comp/event because that would mean just about everyone should have them prob
Well ok that didn't merge at all
When awards were introduced, I was competitions manager at the time and thought that having an award for every single event was OTT (we did one almost every month back then). I have changed my mind on it since then (much nicer for people to have their own special badge for the event they entered) but the gold/silver/bronze was winning 1st/2nd/3rd place in a big event done by the comps (or events dept but they were happy making their own so it essentially became just for comps).
