I (and many many others) have an achievement [slashdot.org] called "The Maker"... what does that mean? It's not listed in the FAQ.
Also, how are you computing the total number of Achievements? If you add up my achievements (and if I add the powers of two I get closer) but it doesn't come out to be the number you posted.
Also, if I have CmdrTaco's attention, why not leave this up? You've written the code for it and although it will certainly tax your database (default awards were handed out on different days)
Considering that there are a few people that posted an original comment to this story that still do not have that achievement, I'm going to guess that it's not the case. I still don't know what the real answer is, though I have that achievement.
(Of course, I'm now trying to get the achievement for posting in an April Fools Day story)

I doubt it, I don't have The Maker and I'm pretty sure I started a comment thread more than once.
I think The Maker is received when you reply to a news story you submitted.

Hmm. No achievements for user journals?

AH. Missed one. However, this article apparently doesn't count for the "April Fools Day" achievement.

There should be a "Patient" achievement for waiting more than a minute for the comment preview to actually show you a preview...

And maybe another achievement for replying to yourself more than once.

I was thinking "Patient" should go to people who hit "Submit" over and over and keep getting told that they must wait to use the resource.

That would be good except that I don't have "The Maker" and I've done this, too.

I think it may be from having a submitted article posted.

As the achievement system grows some of the more difficult achievements will even result in special rewards. Good luck.
