Awards - Full List, Claims, Updates

[LegacyWolf]

I have 100k downloads. Do I get a shiny new pin?

Congrats, yo!

can someone give me the Shadow Award please? ive released a shadow hack yesterday.
Thanks!

Wow, you must feel unbelievably proud to have such an award.

I think we should get rid of the Shadow Award. :]

I second this. More and more people really misunderstand its purpose.

[Segtendo]

I agree. The Shadow Pin is punishment, not an award.

Hey, I worked hard on that award. It's like my bastard son that my ex-wife raises with alimony checks.

i lol'd bad at this statement, best quote of the day

[Iwvi]

People are turning around the meaning of the shadow pin. It was made so people avoided the infamous pinhog. But it seems to only bring more shadows now.

[BlueBrain]

yeah

i vote for getting rid of the pin.

[Miacis]

Maybe we should do like the SomethingAwful forums and their "Forums Cancer".

Like, every time you post a Shadow hack on BV, you get inflicted with a permanent Shaderp avatar, and every time you attempt to post on the boards, you have a random chance of getting redirected to one of the infamous "Sonic RPG" flash games.
And the only way to get a 1-time cure for the "Shadow Cancer" is to post at least 5 non-Sonic hacks and get at least 250 DLs total from them. Or donate $10 to the website.

Now THAT would be a good way to discourage people.

Or we could just nuke the award, or replace it by something silly. Maybe something beautifully MSPaintish?

Since there is the "award" for the shadow hacks, what if we do one for the lame nude hacks. Like a Nosebleed or something.

[BlueBrain]

because shadow hacks reproduce like a plague, and nude hacks dont

[Iwvi]

Yeah, both are infamous, but shadow mods fit better into the analogy of cancer. Once a new one comes out it sparks a thousand more with recolors and stuff. You think it is over but a new one comes out. I mean, is not that shadow hacks are bad. Good shadow hacks are cool, but they spark so many clones it gets annoying.

and there i was, trying to avoid the C word xDDD

[SJS]

Now it just seems like everyone is exaggerating in an effort to validate their points.

[Iwvi]

I'd said keep the award but make it clear it ain't positive. Kind of hard since the design is cool looking.

[Vaanrose]

I wrote a tutorial for model importing with Maya the other day. I like to think it's fairly in-depth. Can I get a pin?

[KnightMario]

I have an idea.
sort of like the rage award, a 2 year-old hack with less than 10 downloads?

And the replacing the shadow the pinhog with shaderp as your avatar and having to make other hacks with a lot of downloads or to donate is a good idea.


and why does lwvi have pin collector if there's only 4 other pins?


Man I'm editing this too much...
Where would you find how many reports you've made?
