Birthday achievement

[XXXJUICEDXXX]

With many achievements becomming available I would like to suggest a Birthday Achievement. A acheivement for being a member of the Heroes on your birthday would be a achievement. Sound good ?.....Consoleheroesbirthday....


:confused:

Hmm everyone would have to disclose their birthday and it really doesn't do much for the community. I think achievements should be left alone except for things that help and bring something to the organization. Everyone has a birthday so everyone would get it, it makes the achievements not as special.

ya i agree with clipse everyone would have it and it has no value to the site

Said well by the previous 2. While it's a good idea, there is no intrinsic value to any member or the site. Everyone's born...aren't presents and cake enough for you?!?!?!:p

[Veritas347]

lets have a christmas achievement too :p just playing with you juiced yeah good attempt but no actual value to it

[XXXJUICEDXXX]

Yea was just a suggestion. Be prepared for many. As big things start small and grow. With out suggestions it becomes a slower process.

So I don't think that a birthday achievement is a good idea. However, any member at any time could place something advertising their birthday into their sig or avatar. Perhaps we could create a few site related Happy Birthday Images. When it's a user's birthday, they could link that image to their sig or avatar for a while. Might be a fun thing to try out. :-)

Agreed with everyone else, everyone would have that achievement and then it wouldn't be something like submit a guide or 1k posts or stuff like that.

Or get the red rings of death...
Guys, not all the achievments are completely valid, remember! We have generation 1 gamers, and we have an achievement for dk skuff who was the 100th member. A birthday isn't that farfetched. Granted, people who WANTED it would have to disclose their brithday, but it would be a choice, not a forced on achievement.
I think you guys should think about this more. :p

I say that if you get 10 posts on your birthday, you should get a "I went to CH for my birthday and all I got was this lousy Award" achievement.
IDK, something involving birthdays could be fun! :D

We want our achievements to have meaning. A birthday achievement, albeit it has some personal meaning to the individual user, really has no meaning whatsoever as to the users contributions to the site. With the 100th member, we are trying to show more of a caredness of our members. We will also have one for our 500th and quite possibly our 360th, that is still being discussed last time I checked. We don't want any of the 1 post/1 visit members here. Our site is dedicated to you guys, and we want everyone here to feel free to express whatever it is that you want to express, so long as it is in the proper venue. The 1 post/1 visit members generally come for 1 question to be answered, and at other sites, ironically enough, they get chastised for it being a question already answered 1000 times before. We will never do that here. Which is why I say we don't want the 1 post/1 visit members. We want those members to feel as though their post was the first of it's kind, and even if it isn't, it is still answered as it was, or they were kindly pointed in the right direction, being told if they have any questions to contact such and such person and their questions will gladly be answered.

Wow, I got a tad off topic there, but the point of all that is this. We want those achievements that you have under your User Bar to have a meaning. To show the rest of the community, and those people that are just trolling around that you and every other member here who has something there, that you and they are actively trying to better the community with each post you make.

Well said man. All I asked was that more thought be put into the matter, and you put forwarth the effort. Thanks man. I never really agreed with the birthday idea, I just didn't think it should be dismissed so quickly. :D

[blum3]

[justcallmeChill]
