A big factor is that the "First Responder" trophies were removed because that was custom work that didn't transfer over.

I was killing it with all the workshop threads

Log out and log in again, that helps updating the trophies.

Would have been interesting with the workshop threads. I was thinking about suggesting a counter but it looks like we lost that.

I'll be manually handing out Workshop Trophies and already have given out the first round.

You make me feel guilty. I wanted to be further than I am, but it is such a mess, esp. if you cannot ask for details.

Our pace is awesome, it's a marathon. I have a few more levels of workshop trophies, don't worry

How is the order determined when there is a tie?

Also, where is the award for being inducted into the Hall of Legends?

For physicists: the one will be listed first who solved the DM riddle.
For mathematicians: the one will be lísted first who solved the ERH riddle.

You get a star on the Laniakea Boulevard!

 

[Charles Link]

@fresh_42 I had to google these above: DM is dark matter, ERH refers to the Extended Riemann Hypothesis, and Laniakea is the supercluster that contains the Milky Way.

For quantum theorists, it can be decided later.

Here in principle, but it looks like it needs to be updated.

Some believe, it's already been. . . .

@Orodruin: Have you seen the new 15 featured threads trophy?

Above 1000 points!
Where is the 20 featured threads trophy?[/size]

@fresh_42 reached over 9000, grats!

Is it too early to ask about a 10,000 trophy?[/size]

You're up for the 10K soon yourself. Maybe if we can get some 299 people to upvote this post I'm responding to?

@PeterDonis reached 8000!

That is totally unrelated to the question about a 10,000 trophy, of course.

Congratulations to @mfb on 10,000 likes. What an effort!

 

[mfb]

The effort came from the people clicking the button!
@bhobba was #10000 here.

Greg, can we get another trophy level please?

Based on the rest of your post we should instead get a trophy for number of reactions given out!

Congratulations!

@fresh_42 reached 10,000! Congratulations!

We still need a trophy for that!

Wonder if there is any use in also tracking likes given and not just the ones received.

 

[jedishrfu]

Also there should a likes to posts ratio to indicate quality posts.

 

[mfb]

Likes given out would be an interesting number.

Also there should a likes to posts ratio to indicate quality posts.

Many users had many posts before the like system was introduced, and some forums don't count posts (but they do count likes). We have some users with maybe 50 counting posts and hundreds of likes from thousands of (uncounted) posts.

And then you have me, for example, where I get a fair number of likes, not at all because of having quality posts but because of all the smart-ass remarks I make.

I remember at one point I had roughly the same number of likes as a couple of our better people but to compare the quality of my posts with theirs would just be absurd.

 

[jedishrfu]

@phinds you are too modest! We wouldn’t like them if we didn’t like them.

Thanks @all.

I'm not sure whether this would be a good measure. I remember that I got likes for a - in my mind - silly joke, i.e. not an especially good one, while at the same time I got none for a technical answer which I put much more effort in and - again in my mind - would have deserved a like. The same phenomenon can be observed in the photo contests. It aren't necessarily the good pictures - from my point of view with respect to the art of photography - which get the highest vote count.

 

[hmmm27]

I've decided that likes vs posts are totally irrelevant

... but a $1 : 2\frac1 2$ ratio would be nice.

 

[PeroK]

I notice that @PeterDonis has just hit the 10,000 likes. A great effort! Must have got a few from me over the years.

I got plenty of HaHa votes in my technical answers!

Welcome to the 10,000 lounge Peter!

Small numerical coincidence here:

 

[berkeman]

You guys have a lounge? Is that what Greg built upstairs recently? Dang.

And can you please turn down the music? We're trying to concentrate down here...
