Suggeston for a New MegaMilestone

[MarkRBright]

Hi Bok
I have mentioned before how the supreme efforts of some make it very very hard to get a Maxwell these days, and I thank you again for the changes you made to allow us normal folk to see a Maxwell when we get one. I have been thinking some more about this and come to the conclusion that there is a missing Mega-Milestone that would allow many people to deservedly get some feedback that they were doing quite well in the grand scheme of Boinc, and particularly in Free-DC. Something that equates to a Maxwell but is quite possible to get for normal folk.

How about this, simply give credit to users when they reach a certain number of Mega-Milestones where they are in the top 1000. That simple! It's kind of a poor man's Maxwell I know, but it would reward a lot of people, and I am guerssing would be relatively easy to code.

Perhaps it should be when you are in the top 100, but I think that would be hard for a lot of folk, though there is no reason not to have a Mega version too!

I have no strong opinion on how many you would need to have in order for it to show in the Mega-Milestones table, personally I am all in favour of showing one when you get one, as I think anything that encourages people is good.
Something like this would be quite wide ranging in that it would encourage people to go for all the Mega-Milestone targets, things like 25K becomes as important as 750L, or even the Bok! - perhaps not.

I don't know if you have had this suggestion before - it looks too obvious for it not to have come up before, but if you haven't, and like the idea, and are looking for a name for it I would be honoured if it was called a MiRB.

Cheers
Mark

For sure...

I'll have to fix the links so it appears in the side and the >9 in the title as it's actually >1

Wow! That is fantastic! - what a service! I feel IMMORTALISED! lol.
I like that you spotted that you can't get a MiRB for being in the top 1000 of MiRB's! Quite right too.
Thanks Bok

Fixed the headings and links

Excellent. thanks again Bok, really good work there.

I notice that currently you can't get a Maxwell for MiRB's, or at least I haven't - I currently have 15 and the top scorer has 29.
Is this deliberate or an oversight worth correcting? (Possibly worth checking if the same thing applies to TeraMiRBs)
