Where are the Awesome Points on profiles???

Hmmm...I think he did. In replace he put badges. I miss it too though, being an almost-veteran myself.

Anything can be done. But once you put a limit on something, the chances are lowered.

Awesome points theoretically still exist, but don't show on profiles anymore. Now, profiles feature the Badge system, which awards different badges based on the number of Awesome points in particular categories.

Catch my drift.

More details. Thanks Limx.

Well,badges are more accurate on what types of things you do most.Like Author is for blogs.

Only compete with yourself at your best

Hull decided to go with a visual representation of a users' achievements via the badges. It's better in many ways, but the Awesome Points did give a better picture (ironically enough) of what the user had done.

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

wat r awesome points

Save me from the monster within.

@snaker The awesome points was simply a part of your profile that showed what you'd done on this site. for example, it displayed the amount of bulletin board posts you'd made, blogs created, etc. It was replaced with the badges early this year.

I miss Awesome points... They gave a more accurate idea of what the user had done.

thnks i would love to see them

They were replaced by badges. I would've preferred that they were left alone and badges were added without their deletion.

one savii badge is coming soon guys

im a boy my birthday is in 15 july :$ :D :) 8) :P :(

A savii badge... hmmmm... ok ^_^

I believe part of the reason that badges don't show exact figures of content statistics was to reduce the often foolish and pointless competition that often leads to, gulp, spam. However, badges unfortunately still prompt people to do exactly that to max their badges.

Catch my drift.

@Jack10 Having both would be rather nice, although it'd take up quite a bit of vertical page space.

Even though I still have to fix glitches with the badges, they cause considerably less server load than the Awesome Points system did. I've set up sons of the badges to recalculate daily or hourly instead of on each page load.

I'm predestined to have free will.

nice news HullBreach

im a boy my birthday is in 15 july :$ :D :) 8) :P :(

I dont even care about them

SSDD

I`m with Ricky. Why not do both AP and Badges?

Taking into consideration what was mentioned above by HullBreach, one reason that we don't have both the old Awesomeness level along with the badges is because lag + more lag = a whole lotta lag.

Catch my drift.
