You're not dreaming, medals are back!

[Vulpes Abnocto]

You may have noticed this morning that we have re-instated the old medal system in regards to postcount.
In case you've forgotten, or if you weren't around when the system was in place, your medal count is directly related to your postcount.
For an explanation of these ranks, take a look at the wiki.

Thank you Costello, tj_cool, Minox, and others for making this change possible.

I for one appreciate the visible e-peen

Ho shit, I got a Newspaper

I have it on good authority that one of the newspapers has a gun in it.
The rest have poop.
Reach in and tell us what you got!

I didn't even know we had medals in the past Not that I'm complaining, mind you

I like medals but what do number of postings really do in the long run if people could just post constantly off topic. Wouldn't it fit more to the amount of 'likes' you receive.

3 years 9 months 15 days * 9.425 = 13,064 = 3 medals . your so lucky .:/

Have you seen how many likes off-topic comments, jokes, and memes get?

as we have all observed

behold the One Medal

we will be adding more ranks to reflect higher post counts... in the old days we had nobody over 10 000 posts so it didn't make sense... but it does now.

One medal to rule them all, in in the darkness bind them

Woah, it's been ages since I saw these. Didn't these disappear after migrating to a new web engine, and after the hacking?

 

[Escape]

Lol, didn't even notice they were removed. When did that happen?
Edit: just noticed I have the most medals here, what do I win?

 

[Minox]

It happened when the forum software was switched from IPB to XenForo.

Oh.....yeah! Medal is back!!!

Nothing because it isn't the volume of medals that counts, but the type. After type, the number does matter. So number matters, just less so than type.

Yaay, an arbitrary forum feature. Meanwhile putting @ before someone's name is dodgy at best...

To be fair, rarely is there reason to mention somebody in a post in a way that they need to see it. At worst, you just message them if it's something you think they should see. All of the times I've used the feature, it has worked as well, so there's that.

Heye! shaunj66 has one... But he's been absent since late 2013...

 

[YayMii]

Wow, how long has it been since then? I wasn't expecting a fancy blue medal...

 

[Veho]

e-peen indicators Medals!

No. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

I don't think he wanted his own custom medal, I think he wanted custom GBAtemp-specific gaming-themed medals instead of the custom medally-looking ones we all know and love.

And the answer is still no
