I (and many many others) have an achievement [slashdot.org] called "The Maker"... what does that mean? It's not listed in the FAQ.
Also, how are you computing the total number of Achievements? If you add up my achievements (and if I add the powers of two I get closer) but it doesn't come out to be the number you posted.
Also, if I have CmdrTaco's attention, why not leave this up? You've written the code for it and although it will certainly tax your database (default awards were handed out on different days)

What disturbs me is that there must be a behind-the-scenes flag on stories to tell real stories from April 1 stories, unless they just give it for any April 1 post, but that would be deceptive advertising of acheivements.
I'm thinking (especially since it's not appearing on anyone's achievements) that, if this "achievements" feature is really going to stick around after April 1st, they'll grant the April Fool achievement retroactively to everyone who posted in the thread when they archive it.
