Unlockable forum banners tied to achievements or amount of time spent in tf2 servers or something

yea basically what the title says would be cool IMO if the forum had some banners tied to HLstats or amount of forum posts or years your account has been active, just more badges in general. I think it would encourage people to become more involved and to post more or be more active in servers and overall be pretty neat i have no idea what they would look like if someone wants to add some pics below feel free

What you are describing right now is called Forum Titles. Which, some of them, change after certain number of posts or ratings. Which ultimately means how long you have been on the Skial forums. As I said in another post, making the title shinier and making it a banner isn't going to attract any new people or donations.

It also isn't going to make people more active in the servers. Skial only has roughly 16500 members on the forum, and the Steam group has 342,500. That means there are roughly 326,000 people who play on Skial who are not on the forums.

That doesn't mean we can't reward people who do stick around or update some aestetics.

We aren't even asking Bottiger to make new names or new banners. I know Drum wouldn't have a problem making banners and I wouldn't have an issue creating new titles/trophoes/banners.

What Bottiger might need to do is just program the plugin which feeds the Hlxstats to the userprofle to automatically update the titles. He will also have to actually upload the cpde but tha's 2minute work.
