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)

All of the above post in one comment... Oh wait! That happens every day anyway...
Or my personal favorite:
Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at
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 pornog
Can you please prefix some of those with "Successfully", please? (Redundancy? Fire for effect!) Making a car analogy might be a rite of passage, but making one that gets ranked to 5 (and not funny) is an achievement. The same is true of playing an old saw, invoking Godwin, etc. The last two, of course, are excellent suggestions for negative achievements (along with fully-negative comments, etc.)
In any problem, if you find yourself doing an infinite amount of work,
the answer may be obtained by inspection.
