However I did add some easy ones too. Like the Social Networking one and the T-Shirt one, (Forget who suggested that.)
While those are easy, they will hopefully make the community a little tighter and drive a little more traffic. (And increase shirt sales for Dain.)
Don't think of the awards as just cool icons. Think of them as achievements/trophies. There to give you that extra encouragement.
Meant for people to say, "You know, I've got 5/14 Virtual Boy games. Maybe I'll go for the complete set! I'll get an award too!".
I'm going to miss the days where people collect what they wanted, instead of what they could get an award for. That is all.
Yeah, I'm sure people will spend thousands of dollars/hours getting games that they don't really want to collect, just for a stupid award on a video game collecting website... If that is really what you got out of what I said, you're missing the point.
Of course people aren't going to spend thousands of dollars / hours, but that's the extreme point of view. And you call the awards stupid, yet have spend "hours" upon creating them and advertising them on the boards.
I'm literally a game or two away from several of the subset awards but I don't collect GB, GBA and GBC, with no intentions of ever starting. But when you're literally one damn game away from the set, you think it over. "Stupid" or not, this is a site of collectors and we collect things, so collecting awards isn't outside of the realm of possibility.
I'm literally a game or two away from several of the subset awards but I don't collect GB, GBA and GBC, with no intentions of ever starting. But when you're literally one damn game away from the set, you think it over.
Exactly this. Then hopefully with the subset complete you move on to another subset, whole set, whatever. There's always a time when someone is frustrated with a particular console. Can't get those one or two missing items from the set. Maybe one day they'll take a break from it and move on to another. Stop thinking so negatively!
By the way, there is a PS1 Long-Box award now. (Which was your suggestion if I recall...)
Even though some may call them dumb, it does encourage me to want to finish certain subsets. For example, I have been very close to having all Tengen games (and they are cheap ones, having Tetris out of the way). This may just push me to finally finish of the ones I need. But seriously, those who think its dumb should probably just relax.. Some people need a little random encouragement to focus on finishing certain goals. If an icon does that, wheres the harm in that?!
Well here's the complete list of all of awards, some are still icons as well. We're working on it.
The ultimate goal, who knows. It's fun, remember Dain loves fun. NA = fun. Awards add to the fun.
Some of the details are still being worked out, but if you feel you deserve one of the new categories, PM me.
List of all awards, not all will be implemented, at least I don't know if they all will be.

Man i made a suggestion "before we had awards or icons" about having emblem stating the first 100 active members of NA, and it was obliterated with negative "lets compare penis/collection size comments." and stomped into the earth to never be talked about again
But after seeing all these other icons for some of this crazy stuff my idea seems more logical than some of this stuff? lol?
Yeah you might as well be right. For the first 100 members, maybe the old man from Zelda would be appropriate. Just resize this to award and bam, you've got something to distinguish the old timers around here.

yea i like that! and as someone mentioned earlier Its just for fun. And NA=FUN. personally if i have some issue going on with a trader, or a newbie, or anything of that nature. I like going to an old timer for advice. for example i almost got ripped by Hounder (actually did but he finally refunded me) back inthe day. Well if he ever starts sneaking around here again i would like to go to an old timer and inform. However if i was a newbie i wouldnt even know that Hounder (aka cant remember his real name) used to be a scammer cause it was sooo long ago.
I find it funny that many didnt want an Elitist type of Rep with icons etc. But then these same users have like 50 icons. I dunno know maybe times have changed a little now and we are all more of a Family :-)
