since this got buried in another fun thread, ill post it separately here!

https://www.tugbbs.com/forums/index.php?help/trophies

here is a list of all the current trophies. mostly these are the default ones, but i added a few more today for some of the more notable milestones one can achieve here on the forums!

Im always willing to add more if folks can think of some creative ones I missed for sure! (note it is somewhat limited to how they can be awarded...mostly posts/likes/registration date/user groups/etc...but who knows what xenforo will release in the future to allow for more trophies for more user activities!

Other than entertainment, what can we do with them? How about credit on the membership? <wink wink> ?

Hi Brian I got an alert saying a trophy for one year anniversary. I have been registered for 5 years. Is this a yearly trophy or did you miss 4 years?

we give membership credit/extensions for reviews!

but no, these are just fun little awards for forum participation, they dont have any actual value other than bragging rights or showing off to your friends.

the 1 year award is simply saying that you have been registered here for at least 365 days.

shows your registration date is april 30 2013, so at the end of the month you should also get the 5 year trophy.

Dave, Dave, Dave...clearly you have missed the most important aspect of TUGBrian’s suggestion: bragging rights . Can you imagine the reaction when you tell your friends and relatives that you have extra trophies on TUG? People are going to be in awe, stunned in amazement, ready to kowtow to your every wish and command. I’m sending out a massive group text as we speak to let everyone know!!! Wow, it’s good to be me :cheer::banana::whooopie:

Thats the spirit!

I fully expect TUG trophy lists to travel with you to sales presentations and timeshare vacations....or even used to update business cards or resumes!

I'm going to hand out a picture of my ten year trophy to everyone I know. I really should get a giant actual trophy made.

I'm still not on the list of notable members though, even the trophy points one... Although I do have 248, which puts me in a tie with the last person who did make that list. Must post more...

Well, there you go! I'm not all that for kowing or towing. My family is already convinced I'm crazy: ("What??? You're going on vacation AGAIN?????") My coworkers think I'm made of money: ("You're going to Hawaii AGAIN? Weren't you JUST THERE a few month ago???") And my dog is convinced I'm cheating on him with some bitch he's never met. ;)

I will take all the Trophy Points I can get. I'm going to save them in a mason jar under the bed, and then cash them in with my Bitcoin money. Someday. :D

You have uncovered the most vital secret of TUG trophies, Dave. They are the next crypto currency! Just think about it: like Bitcoin, they have no intrinsic value (except the psychological value others place on them), they’re full of hype, they get regular press coverage (okay, maybe I’m stretching there), and they are the envy of your friends and neighbors. Invest in TUG trophies for a huge future payday!!

Priceless
I want more
They just are getting harder to get
:rolleyes:
Yes, they are very scarce. As Bitcoin has plummeted, TUGcoin values have been exploding. I keep wondering when NWDave will begin publishing daily valuations, though I suppose the value is closely tied to TUGBrian's equally valuable trophy points.

Tugcoin isn’t exploding so much as it is piling up. And you know what happens to deep piles of things. People keep stepping in it, kicking it, getting it caught in the tread of their shoes... And its slick stuff! I’ve heard it’s coated in timeshare salesman rhetoric. That accounts for the odor...
