Whether a banner needs to made for this is entirely up to you guys, but I truly think it is an achievement, a true mark of human endeavor, to endure the shrekoning. Because, as you know, Shrek is love, Shrek is life. I'll dare not embed such content on this website, but if you are up to the challenge, just seek out on youtube: Shrek is love, Shrek is life. Good luck my friends.

I remember reading this in 4chan. And I thought to myself, "It's all ogre now.", but I thought wrong. You know what they say, "You can't spell progress without 'ogre'...".

Hmm... this gives me an idea to make a new achievement.

EDIT:

Thanks to JSev33, he has inspired me to create this!

"It's All Ogre Now...":

I meant to upvote DVA's comment, I'm on mobile and my touch screen's behavoir is ridiculous. Great comment, DVA. One of the powerful reasons why I choose to be with VGU more than any other gaming forum. Here, the community is strong. Here, you may find friends and someone to talk to about "dead sirious" things among all users including the admins. Here, you can feel like you're part of a virtual home. I love VGU and I mean it, respect and flows smooth here. Going to finish this comment here, i can't find my charger and my phone is at 3 percent. I want to say more but i dont want people getting the wrong idea about the downvote on DVAs comment.

I've given you +1 rep cause this idea is pretty good,
it doesn't break any rules and it's had quite a success.

I haven't approved nor denied the existence of this "achievements" system, but it's here because you're as much entitled to propose new features to this site as I am. If it works and people want it, if it doesn't cause trouble, I have no say in it.

For this reason, I'll need you to remove the "VGU Staff Leader" banner and I'll further explain why

VGU Network is a community, but it's not patriarchal.
Admins, Overseers, they keep things running smoothly and troublemakers in line.
They're like the handy-man and the guides of a village
We don't consider ourselves as "ruling" or "being in charge"

We have a duty to keep things respectful and comfortable.
To guarantee our talented modders that their work will not be abused and stolen.
You can respect that, but you don't need to put us on a throne.

I'm not your king or president. I'm not your boss.
You're not inferior to me, none of you are.

I'm the dude who took it upon himself to make the hard decisions concerning this place.
Most of the time I need a majority of votes with all the Overseers and sometimes Paladins, to make a decision. Sometimes my vote is in the minority. Somebody the community wants something and if they make it known it happens.

Same for Sentinels who essentially assist Overseers in cleaning up the forums from spam and spammers, who watch over the well-being of the site and act in its best interest.
They're not leaders, in a hierarchical superiority manner.
They have a certain authority to take action, yes, but that's necessary.

Most of the time, the farmer or the teacher is more important than the mayor.
It's not really a contest of value here, it's just a matter of effect

and we're all leaders here! Don't let yourself be a sheep. Collaborate, don't be led.

We can all have a positive effect, and that makes us equal.

Let's not make things more divisive than we have to
by feeding people's superiority complex and, in doing so,
inadvertently implying everyone else is inferior.

So remove the "leader" part from that banner and
delete the current one from wherever you uploaded it.

Thanks    

I agree, we all have the ability to lead therefore we are all leaders!

I'll get the banner out and thanks for the positive message.

You are a mind blowing GENIUS!  

July VGU Screenshot Winner: Self-explanatory

I've been thinking about this since I was promoted to Colonial recently, and I'm not sure about the wording of the 'Trusted Member' achievement. Perhaps using the nomenclature from the old site of "Approved Member" or "Vault Approved" with a bobble head giving the thumbs up as a graphic would be a better choice. 'Trusted Member' just sounds a bit too elitist to me...

I'm not nit-picking or anything. Semantics aside, I still think this is a great idea. Perhaps you should add a link to this thread in your signature to let new members know about this?

Cheers buddy!

N~dles

Sorry for the delay for those who requested an achievement, I was busy at the moment but I've finally finished them!

"The Casual Core":

"Hard to the Core!":

"July VGU Screenshot Winner":

This is so cool! I can't believe I never saw this before.
I'll definitely use these. I loved them.

Maybe an achievement for making an achievement?

Congrats, Undeadsewer! This topic and many other submissions of yours helped vote you in as a Gfx Specialist!
Keep doing what you're doing Best regards

Thank you so much for the promotion! Hope to create more content as the days progress.

Thanks a lot for this! adds a bit of a spice to the mix!, as you can see im already using it, and working towards the friends achievement

It's been a while since I made an achievement, so I decided to make one before I go do my busy stuff. What this is, an achievement that appreciates the people who suggested or inspired an achievement. Thanks to those who did!

"Achievement Fabrication":

NOTE: I "fixed" that weird clipping on the "Fallout Enthusiast" achievement. If you're currently using the old one, I recommend you change it to the new one in order to fix it. I'll work on fixing the other .gif achievements soon!

"Fallout Enthusiast":

As always, I'll be working on new ones as soon as possible. I'm always open to suggestions so please post or PM any of them to me!

Nice. I always loved those mini banners. I used to made them when I played browser games.
Thanks for sharing.

I would like to suggest some more achievements.

Number 1 would be like the "Fallout Enthusiast" one but for the Elder Scrolls games since that's another pillar of VGU.

Number 2 would be an achievement for the mod creators who post their mods here. Maybe call it "Mod Creator" or something like that ?

And number 3 would be an achievement for the screenshoters who fill a lot of topics on VGU already.

What about a achievement for ending the game on NCR side, Legion side or Mr Houses side, you know? I actualy was going to suggest an achievement for those like me who ended New Vegas 100%,  which i believe most of the people here did.

Edit, almost forgot about Yes Man

What about an achievement for Paragon (500+ achievements)?

Thank you for this tutorial, my signature is now stylish like everybody else's

Maybe you can add achievement for how long someone is registered on VGU, something like Proud member of VGU Network for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year etc.

hey mate can you make a achievement for all the Garrys out there

and call the tag Garry

"Garry... Garrys Everywhere" - Garry 108
