Welcome to the ReX Awards!*

So, this new site doesn’t have the same thing we used to have where you can see your personal stats for the last year easily. They do have pretty good reporting though, so I thought I would pull together some lists from the last year and recognize everyone’s effort with some new badges**.

Because of the transition to the new site, some of these lists are measured from just after the transition rather than the beginning of the year, and some of them are going to be a little bit off because of when things were added from the vintage site… so we’re just going with the imperfection, because it’s what we have. :slight_smile: With that said, let’s jump right in:

Category: Legacy Daily Challenge

Before our current Daily Challenge we had the Legacy Daily Challenge, which a lot of people spent a lot of time on, all the way up to the early months of 2024. It’s only right to recognize that effort with some ReX Awards!

* SpiceRex likes to capitalize it differently, as the Rex AWaRdS (RAWRS), and since they are named after him I should probably let him have his way, but I already made the badges, so too bad. ReX Awards it is. :slight_smile:
** Please note that if you are listed here, you should be getting a badge, but I didn’t want to give them all out beforehand and ruin the surprise, so it might take a bit to give them all out after this post comes out. If you are listed here and you haven’t gotten a badge after February 1, 2025, feel free to write to community@spiceworks.com and ask for your missing badge(s). :slight_smile:

36 Spice ups

Blimey, don’t let my boss see these results!

And even at 15,000 spice this year, it’ll still take another 10 years to hit PC!

20 Spice ups

My work here is done. :smirking_face::bacon::beer_mug:

17 Spice ups

What an amazing list, and thanks to all the OG’s who helped put this all together! I’m feeling very honored to have made a few of these lists, particularly in such awesome company!

17 Spice ups

Just like we have the pepper level displayed at the bottom right of our avatar, there needs to be a little counter that shows how many ReX awards we have (maybe at the lower left of the avatar).

14 Spice ups

Not one for me. I now spend more time doing other things than being in the community.

11 Spice ups

Now we need the 2024 ReX Awards Award, for the user who received the most 2024 ReX Awards!

Also, what about the Award for most mentions of BaCoN? :smiley:

15 Spice ups

Hey, won a few. Glad with the ones I got. Congrats to others. Makes me happy the community is still going :slight_smile:

Side note: I would participate on the discord but it gets overwhelming whenever I have been on.

12 Spice ups

9 awards??? I need to get out more!

13 Spice ups

Bacon you say?

12 Spice ups

Having a “real” life is also good. I need to find a way to give an award for that. :slight_smile:

15 Spice ups

And with that, my work here is done.
I can hear the soft whisperings of the Bacon calling my name…

13 Spice ups


I award to @CharlesHTN this totally real ™ BaCoN BaDgE

21 Spice ups

I gotta badge! I gotta badge!! Thanks folks, much appreciated.

Reminds me of ‘Dastardly & Muttley’ where Muttley would never rescue Dick Dastardly until he handed over a medal - “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!!”

12 Spice ups

I feel you 100% on this one! I want to enjoy it, but it’s way too “noisy” for me. About the only time I dive in is during SpiceWorld week.

8 Spice ups

@Steve6343 as Sally Field said upon winning the 1985 Academy Award, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me”.

8 Spice ups

Oou, I’ll take it ^^

8 Spice ups

I’m just barely behind you with 8 so it’s either that or we’re just super-spicy. :sw_spicerex:

10 Spice ups

5 ReX Awards for me! Woo hoo! Congrats and thanks to all for making this a fun and informative space!

I invite anyone to adopt my strategy of spicing all the posts I can and voting for all the Snap articles. :joy: Let’s keep it spicy!! :sw_pepper: :sw_pepper: :sw_spicerex:
