We've intentionally NOT made any achievements that require starting threads. If it were to happen, thread spam is a lot worse of a problem than post spam, and any achievement that would involve having other people chat in your thread would be biased and cause a lot of drama -- I mean, look at how many people complain that they can't start a popular thread. I for one have been trying hard to make thread ownership be not-a-big-deal on Trisphee because it causes so much drama on other sites: unless your thread is OBVIOUSLY yours (a shop or a hangout) the OP here is no more relevant to a thread than any other poster in it.

Equipping more items is certainly possible but at least for the initial release of the achievement system we wanted to have a set of different avatar-related achievements rather than multiple variants of the same one. Making a creative avatar with 20 layers is possible. Making a creative avatar with 40 layers... well, making that look good might be a challenge.

I thought we DID have an achievement for making friends? If not it's on my list already.

I considered doing a "log in for x consecutive days" but tracking that would be kinda expensive on the server -- I don't want anything that would have to trigger on viewing a page.

We DO have an overall posts achievement and people have already gotten the first couple of levels of it.
