I mean, encouraging people to contribute is a cool idea on a site all about fan contribution, but on the other hand we don't want to have people posting random, not well-thought out crap just for achievements.I say have them, but maybe have them be awarded to people for quality (as determined by mods or the community perhaps) rather than raw quantity

Problem with this is that would be difficult to do. It IS possible to design custom achievements, but they are in the end based on post/edit/uploads. If you try and change them too much beyond that they won't really be achievements. What I mean is that there is no way to "judge" or "determine" who would get them, because they are given automatically and completely partially. This is probably why they appeal to some people. But asking for custom achievments (besides a name and image change) is adding yet another thing to do on the admin's bucket-list. Like I said before: this is a fanon. People contribute when they want to, and mainly, the issue of INactivity here is a non-issue, which is why I see them as pointless.
