Just like the Notable Members section, the trophies are intended to be simply a fun thing, beginning with the acknowledgement of a member's first post in the forum, then recognizing other milestones along the way, in the amount of time that they have been a member, the number of posts, likes, and so on. Some of the trophies were a default part of the forum software, and others I added. There is no intention of encouraging competitiveness. It's just a fun thing, and not something to make a big deal over.
Haha! That actually happened to a supervisor I worked for. She was on her way to the airport for a safety conference, tripped on the back steps going out of her house and broke her leg.
Hey @Ken Anderson ... maybe this group needs some "Raspberry" awards. Like "most threads taken off topic" or "sniping at fellow posters". Just a thought. (I could clean up I gotta tell ya. )
WHAT?? We should make a big deal over every accolade we get. At our age.....you never know when it may be the last one.
Thanks to this Forum's record-keeping, I know when I became a Member, how many Likes I've received, the Dates of my posts, and other interesting statistics! I joined 2 years ago today, on 2-11-2018. Tell me...what was the title of my first Thread? Thank you all so much...Ken, Yvonne, and Bobby! Harold Pollner, aka Hal
