Hmm... a very interesting idea. Could give people a reason to post--to improve their ranking in a new way.
There are two problems, however. Well... more of one than the other.
When I became the admin here, there were 1,4XX people here. Since then, over three hundred people have joined--yet our number of posts from newer members has increased very minimally, even with the new sections that are up. We could wait and see if we can earn a higher number of posts from our members and save a large amount of work if things don't change, or we can do it and hope for the best. I know that the intention of the trophies in the first place is to bring posts to the forums, but it may be better to have a bit more activity first. What do you all think?
The problem that isn't really a problem is as follows.
I've got plenty of experience with HTML, but close to none with dynamic php pages like this forum. This isn't much of a problem because I'm a very fast learner and can figure things out by looking at them, and if not can download a manual, so that's something I can take care of.
If you don't think we should get posts up first, if you can make the trophies I'll see what I can do! A suggestion, however, would be to get rid of the vampire thing. For some people, things like that are immoral.
