True, but then... what sets the price for the crack?I see the logic for this ... personally I though I feel that the more crack a community has the higher it gets
The less crack on the street, the more the crack is valued.

If a post from a user has receive lots of replies, it probably means that it was a good post and, therefore, should receive some points....
Obviously, the number would depend on the traffic each board gets and could be modified by the admin on the admin control panel...
- 1 point for every 25 replies for a maximum of 5 points.
- 1 point for every 250 views for a maximum of 5 points.

I've merged your thread with one I made a while ago about ideas for Trophy PointsIf anyone has any good ideas for trophies, please post them here

The important thing about these excellent trophies and awards is that they don't become facile or some form of tacky add-on. The way they are currently set on this forum works well. The danger when you add too many is that the whole thing becomes a chase for points or trophies rather that focused on building a community.
Perhaps rewards for supporting new members (not quite sure how!), rewards for answering questions - perhaps a slight tweak in the system to support some form of question followed by an accepted / approved answer (then again that might end up being too complex). How about just having the current standard set and allowing Admin to add more at their choice.
What I'm trying to say is that a system like this needs to reflect the style of the forum. This brilliant new system is so good because it is lightweight and svelte - adding too much complexity will be a drawback.

This would be excellent, only this morning a member became the winner of a long running game on our site. Would be great if he could be awarded a trophy.Perhaps an idea to have trophy's that can only be award-able by mods/admins
I originally posted this thread before we knew whether it was possible to create custom trophies
Now we know that is currently only possible to use the following criteria:

I like the post idea, rewards participation, the time based awards don't. I know I have members that visit my site regularly but don't post, not interested in rewarding that.

Sorry if this has already been asked. I didn't find anything about it, so I thought I'd post it. I was wondering how hard it out be to implement more variables into making trophies. Brogan made an excellent thread (here) before XenForo was released and I think that they are great ideas for potential trophy points. While what we have is great for the first (and second) release, there's only oh so much that can be done with them without them getting redundant.
Anyone have any other ideas for variables?

Sure, I'll bump this thread. Any new awesome trophy ideas for future releases perhaps?

If I post my brilliant ideas here you will just steal them and claim them as your own. I know how you operate.
So far I have established 17 "trophies" (I call them awards because trophies is kind of gay - and not the good kind of gay) my users will be able to claim. The awards involve or mention monkeys, Eskimos, instability, insanity, tattooed asses, the weight of a forum post, your next life, critics, pride, love, sweatshops, mayors, governors, presidents and Indians.
Now I feel that I've probably given away too much information...
