I'd have something for you, but it seems that I can't successfully make subdomains and I'm not giving over a full domain name. Nonetheless, I'll start working on it and when I can get a subdomain, I will.

I think here we have enough achievements to make an alpha of the /diy/ achievements list.

>>106480
Agreed.
Fortunately for you, I am sick today, so I stole the code from sci and made it more generic! I still really ought to use XML instead of PHP arrays, but this is good enough for now.
http://tozetre.net/achievements/index.php?group=diy

>>106588
Let's add it to the sticky!

Im from /diy/ - use shipping container to build fallout shelter

It's Alive - brew your own alcohol without dying/going blind

Luthier Vandros--made your own musical instrument
"...and then it turns on the toaster"--achieved some simple task through a purposefully horrifically convoluted process
Etsy bitsy spider--sold an item on etsy for more than 200% the cost of materials needed

We need to organize this better.

I say we have a few specific achievements per discipline and a few very general ones.

>>106893
Shut up fatass.

>>106915
I'm not exactly going to be fat if I hate on /fit/, now, am I?

Think about this shit before you say it.

Bitch, Please-- Make something badass using traditionally "feminine" skills-- knitting, crochet, baking, etc.

Kid: made someone have an online tantrum by detailing ways they could get arrested for the project that isn't illegal

A place for everything - Start a dildo related thread.

Sharpest Tool In The Shed - Sharpen every tool you own that requires sharpening

>>107017
>Sharpest Tool In The Shed - Sharpen every tool you own that requires sharpening
shit just got real

>>107015
All Tooled Up-as every good DIYer knows, you can never have enough tools, so in this spirit, you took your tools, and made more tools
Yo Dawg, Heard You Liked Tools-you took the tools that you made with your tools and made more tools that you used on some project.

>>107017
Slow burn-burnish every tool you own that requires such.

>>107017
>Sharpen every tool you own that requires sharpening
Man, I ain't even trying to sharpen my scissors - when they get worn, they get recycled.

>>107029
You sir, are a degenerate.

Have updated the achievement list. Have left a few out, as you'll see. A few comments.
>>106904
>>107004
Not sure we want to put "participating in /diy/ threads" in a list of achievements. :T Also I have no idea what a Land Ark is.
>>107010
/diy/ participation, already have basic sex toy achievements.

So, uh, I realize not including some people's ideas might cause some unhappiness. I hasten to mention that you can download the source and build your own lists if I'm being unreasonable. If we want to include /diy/ thread participation, I'll add them in.

>>106913
Agreed. We've got basic stuff for smithing, gardening, carpentry, coding, etc. We can do three levels of challenge (and I've added some). Does anyone want to suggest how to organize these? I'm out of ideas.

survivalist-build shelter in the wild

make good ones, a list, vote for them, and i will add them to the sticky, i will be back in 3 hours.

>>107107
also
An achievement for the people who contributes to the sticky, i need a lot of help, is just a bunch of links so far.

>>107107
3 hours? Maybe 3 days might be a bit better or actually 2. Maybe temporarily sticky this list and leave it open so more people can get involved and actually vote or some such, then when it's completed, kill this thread...

>>107114
would love to help but about all I'm good for is coming up with bad puns (Luthier Vandross? Oh yeah).

>>107107
>>107123
Agreed. /diy/ moves slowly. Long threads last a week.

So, maybe three levels of each type of project, including /diy/ participation?

>>107123
im not a mod, i cant stick this, im the guy who made the page that is in the sticky.

im going to save what i can of this thread and maybe start a new one later, in 1 or 2 days, right now i dont have too much time to edit the page, i hope im free in january or february at least.

>>107149
Stick http://tozetre.net/achievements/index.php?group=diy on the sticky, then, that's where I'm putting the formatted list. Or not, I guess. :T

>>107150
Its sticked,

you have just unlocked an achievement.

ill be back in 3 hours.

Fixed second and third level achievements, sorted them a bit, added categories. Added some /diy/ interaction stuff.

>tell people how to put dirt in jar, hundreds participate with enthusiasm

I laughed. This is /diy/ in a nutshell.

bump?

Bumping for New Year's /diy/hards suggestions for achievements and organization of the current achievements list (it's linked in the sticky).

>>107074
Just because you don't know what a land ark is doesn't mean they haven't been referenced a great deal in /diy/. Editing based on your personal experience is a sure fire way to make something incredibly dull.

That said, carry on.

>>108706
>>108725
Added!

I'm still mucking about with the PHP. I could add some features like saving your achievement lists, or reserving a domain or something, but all that seems like overkill unless folks clamour for specific features. I'm okay with hosting it indefinitely as it stands now.

>>108763
Agreed. I was worried that, it being something I hadn't heard of, it was just one guy's pet obsession and nobody else cared. But, there's your post defending it, which either means one Anon caring enough to post twice or two Anons caring enough to make noise about it. It's added.

What IS a land ark, btw? Wikipedia fails me and Google only suggests it might be something about zero-emission housing.

>>108770
Mother of fuck, scrap everything, my dyslexia kicked in.

EARTH SHIPS. That's what I meant. Christ.

>>108773
Ah, *earthships* I know. Fixed.

>>108766
if you do that, maybe you should do the /fit/ and /sci/ achievements too, just to make a little more sense and help all the anons.

Here is an idea, make a site where people can list their achievements and publish to their friends maybe through a facebook application or something, it may get popular.

I'm a little against achievements for not following proper safety guidelines (against any achievements for injuries.) I understand accidents happen but making an achievement for it seems backward.

>>108858
How do folks feel about "avoided" on all the injury/accident ones? We've all had a time or two when we turned the grinding wheel off and thought to ourselves "Well! I'm glad I had safety goggles on for that," just as much as we've all bruised a toe dropping a hammer, right?

>>108866
maybe if you were using steel toe shoes, or something like that it could be an achievement, anything else is stupid. (im drunk right now, so dont take my word for granted) i try to avoid accidents as much as i can. But also im reckless and sometimes i dont give a shit about security, im drunk, and i want to drill something, maybe your mom. *wink.

Sorry i didnt mean that im drunk, /diy/ people is great people...

I'm still working on my /b/ achievements from when I first joined 4chan.

Last bump! I've implemented saving of achievement lists. Select your achievements, hit 'save achievements' at the top, and it should remember you for about a year. Also, I altered the "injury" achievements to be safety achievements.

>>108943
I... I'm just going to point out that the source is available for anyone, and I've written it so that non-coders can download it and roll it out on their own servers with very little difficulty. And that I don't want to anger /b/, but I don't really want to put anything /b/-related on my server. :[
