Can we please find out which Fluther awards are currently unavailable?
As my fellow jellies will confirm, there are certain awards that are unavailable, or as some of our mods like to call them – “broken”. Are we able to share publicly which ones are currently unobtainable, and when we can expect them to return? (Thank you in advance for any assistance from mods)

It is my understanding that Fluther is keeping track of when you are awarded them, but it just doesn’t show up on your account.
I know the circumnavigator is one of the ones currently “broken”. I’m not sure which others though and haven’t heard anything about when they will be fixed.
By my reckoning:
Skin Diver
Autobiographer
Channel-Crosser
Circumnavigator
Robot Crush
are broken. I don’t know if there are any others.
What about the “Cake in the Frizzer” & “Pilgrim” award? I am sure they are down too, right?
People seem to be getting those lately. I got the Pilgrim award yesterday but I’m not telling.
No, I got Cake in the Frizzer a few weeks ago.
Ohh, and I believe the Old Timer award is no longer available.
No, I believe “Old Timer” is still available, but to get it you have to be 75+ years old! (the trick is to get my grandmother to log into my account to trick the Fluther system, and I’ll get the award)
I think Guacamole is permanently unavailable since the founders went to Twitter.
Channel Crosser has been broken for several months.
Is there still an email address I can send a friendly note to, so I can get this award?!
The J. Edgar Hoover Award is still working, I received it two days ago!
Guacamole is still available, because wherever Auggie is, HQ is. I got it by letting her whip me in person. It was an invigorating experience!
You can still get the Guacamole award since @augustlan‘s home is the new Fluther HQ. Other than that, I think it’s just the “sign in X number of days” awards that are broken. Andrew fixed the rest of them a few months ago as far as we can tell. If you’re sure you’ve earned an award and haven’t received it, however, let @augustlan know.
@Bill_Lumbergh You can certainly still get into the frizzer and Pilgrim was never broken as far as I know. I’ve been there many times…It’s definitely available.
Robot crush is old technology…maybe they’ll change it when they have time, to a new thing to do to get that particular award.
The one you get when you log in for 30 days straight.
The one you get for logging 90 days in a row.
Frizzer and Pilgrim are working just fine. Guacamole is still obtainable, but Fluther HQ is now me/my house. It was recently awarded to several jellies I had a meet-up with (because meeting me qualifies as a ‘visit to HQ’) and to two jellies who sent me something in the mail. I really thought Autobiographer was fine, too. Can anyone who hasn’t filled out a profile ‘story’ do so now, just to check it out?
As far as I know, the only awards that are broken (hopefully not forever) are all of the ‘attendance’ awards, and the Robot Crush.
Old-Timer isn’t broken, but I strongly suspect that no one who doesn’t already have it can get it. I’m guessing that it’s only for the folks who were here right from the beginning, but I could be wrong. Even I don’t know all the secrets!
Thanks to @Seaofclouds for sending me this question. :)
Autobiographer does not work. It wasn’t working for some time now.
I filled out all the profile areas when I joined in April, and didn’t get Autobiographer either.
I wanna know what the hell happened to the We got this, man. We got this by the ass! award.
Well, dang. Add Autobiographer to the ‘broken’ list, then. :(
Holy shit, really? That sucks. :(
I think the Autobiographer award went down when they change the profile fields so that we could no longer type in our topics and places we’ve lived (or whatever it was called back then).
It would appear that Plank Walker is also broken.
The should have the John Gotti award for those who have been whacked from the most Fluthers. :-P
