KYM Achievement General

Ah, another pretty cool thread I missed until it was necro'd.

There are some cool ideas here, but I wanted to clarify a technical point established by myself and a number of other KYM oldfags some time ago.

Several people have tried to express what was previously termed as "KQ", a concept that I believe Stoffe suggested and I quantified. (You can look up thread 8151 if you really want, but it's Swiss cheese due to several major contributors having since been deactivated.) At the time, a user's KQ or "krama quotient" was (U/P)x100 where U was the total number of up votes one had received and P was the total number of forum posts one had made. Since then, the krama situation has become much more complex, with the ability to up vote not just forum posts but many sorts of contributions like comments and photos, and with net kramas being displayed rather than the gross number of up votes. (How many people were around when they made that change? That really pissed off quite a few people.)

Anyway, I just thought I'd suggest that this concept be updated and included into the "achievements" in some fashion.

I did internet things today.

I fear that this thread is turning into a nonsense achievement general. When Bob’s actual intention was to give people a place to make others aware of cool achievements you reached on KYM.

Holy crap, this is still alive?

And you really shouldn't bump a thread unless you have some actual content to contribute, lolgineer. We all love joking around, but if I went around stating every nonsensical thing I wanted to, I'd be a hated user right now. It's all about control, have something important to say, then make a joke. Or you could make a joke after someone else bumps this thread, it gets on people's nerves less.

Well, this is a bit of a meta post (I haven't achieved any kind of KYM achievement recently,) but yeah. This was dead for about 25 days. Another thread about a KYM achievement (i.e. Alejandro, one year of activity and 1,000 forum posts) came up. I remembered this thread, so I locked and redirected it to this thread. This one was 25 days old. I figured that it might have periods where it wasn't used, but I thought that it was a good idea for all users to be proud of their time and efforts here.

So I featured it mostly to prevent it from being autolocked. That way, we don't have to make other threads for achievements.

Bump to get people up to date again with the latest threads and to make sure everyone is made aware of this thread again. In chronological order:

  • Natsuru reached the 2 year Milestone.
  • Douglas reached the 1 year Milestone.
  • Patrick reached the 2 year Milestone as well.

Great to have you all here for so long people.

(Please keep using this in the future instead of making a seperate thread.)

Karma Whore-Get over 10 karma in 1 hour
Troll King-Get over 5 karma on a post which gets the user banned due due to trolling nature
Cherry Popped/Cherry Popper-Get first karma/give someone their first karma ever
Quick Learner-Get first karma within an hour of your first forum post (or can be given if achievements happen and will apply to first post made after achievements go live)

I've made it. I've been on the site for 3 years without being idle for a long period of time. That's seems like a major accomplishment considering some other users.

Personally, I think that users that have accomplished this feat should get the the title "KYM Veteran", that is if they don't already have mod position.

Woke up this morning feeling like p Diddy and then I realized I have been on this site for 2 YEARS

The first year was the best, but it still makes me happy. Thanks to all my old and new friends that made this place special to me.

Love you guys!!

Become a veteran user without actually contributing to the site.

Not as magical as the 2 year milestone as there is barely anyone reaching that milestone with me.

I FEEL OLD

Hah, I've been 3 years old for the last few months, You're the only one whose reached it with me.

I'll actually be hitting my 2 year milestone at the end of this month, though I've been visiting KYM for 2 and a half years already.

Do I get a cookie or something?

I could really use a cookie.
