I like your userbox style, and might check back here for those hex codes later.

I am satisfied with the entire userbox range at present. User coins are definitely something I would consider, but for the time being, I would allow people to start upping their counts. It's still a relatively new addition.

Your other suggestion is interesting and original. Perhaps, this would be the only userbox that people might genuinely find interesting to observe on others' profiles as it indicates their achievements in terms of level creation. I like the idea very much.

I will mention that a lot of backstage planning goes into creating a userbox series. We could easily have stuck to a single numerical userbox which accepts variable values. However, series were created instead so that people could have something more unique, each with a synonymous word to the last, but every one different. With that in mind, I wish to open a new discussion regarding what I have just explained.

Userboxes were first developed about a year ago as a fun feature to spice things up on the wiki. Not too much discussion took place as our community was smaller, and the idea was generally welcomed for the point of it being there. Speaking of the userbox series, would variable userboxes be more preferable?
 * Openly specifiable with any number (cool)
 * No limit cap (awesome)
 * Quicker to build and maintain (rad)
 * Can be used incorrectly ('Lenny' is not a number)
 * Not as unique or exciting (aww)
 * The shift will take a long time to implement (ouch)

It may be possible using JavaScript to force numerical values only, but that will require further research. Have a think about it.
