why would it be taken away lol
most ppl prob spent them anyway
and i prefer the awards system anyway
I originally thought the achievements system could supplement awards, as a sort of side story to an already effective system. Obviously poor implementation and lack of any real hype means it has flopped and the transition hasn't been performed successfully. Delete it, remake it in the future. Focus on building the staff teams and in turn the userbase back up for now. Forum REALLY needs some work as of late.
It was never really going to work out because there is far too much manual admin work to get it going. Automation is key in any sort of achievement system - That's why it works so well on games such as Habbo and Runescape - It's all automated.
The awards system is best designed for what we have here and at any other Habbo fansite. I honesty can't see us ever going back to using achievements.
Here are three reasons you are wrong:
- Having too many people doing the admin work makes it confusing
- Managers are busy enough as it is without the added workload
- When a new manager is promoted they have to be taught everything about the system and how to use it
The achievements system is gone and it isn't coming back.

I've left, but I still visit sometimes!
Here are three reasons you are wrong:
No it doesn't. It's all behind the scenes so it wouldn't be confusing for members and each manager would have tasks specific to their department so it wouldn't be confusing for them either.
No they're not.
Along with everything else they have to be taught. I'm hoping you'd hire someone competent enough to do admin related to the department they are actually in. And if they need a little bit extra coaching, I'd hope an AGM would be keeping an eye on them anyway.
Oh well wasn't really needed failed experiment let's move on to v7
Here are three things that support what Chris has said:
1. It does make it confusing and it won't all get done at the same time because of availability of managers and it's not always possible to get them done on a certain day because of point two.
2. Yes they are.
3. Along what with you have both said already. For it to be possible for all managers to do their own depts. Achievements Request, they would need access to the admin panel. With all the management changes it's not realistic to give access to every manager that comes through for the purpose of the system.
1. How does it make it confusing to have an AGM say "you do these", "you do these", "you do these", "you do these", "you do these." Here's your deadline: xth date.
2. No they're not.
3. Not if it was done another way. Features requests? A thread update in a forum where managers have mod perms, similar to the habbox lottery before it had to be scrapped? There could've been lots of ways to do it.
If the achievements system is gone that's fine. It was always going to be a challenge and you did not rise to it on this occasion but hopefully next time.
