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)

Can't do this without subtracting the number of foes. I like the fact that slashdot has the popularity contest, yet the number is not displayed up front (though it's easy enough to discover and calculate.) Besides the big jerkoff clusterfuck of wankerhood that would surely permeate the site if the positive numbers were displayed, displaying a negative number would be horrendous. Without it the possibility of showing the positive one is meaningless, but with it the trolls are fed in a way that makes a pornographic version of Gremlins look like Sesame Street.
