When the Achievements System was first tested, users could choose to turn it on in Gaia Labs. They then had the opportunity to obtain nine achievements, totalling 1000 points. With the release of the Achievements update, these became unavailable. You can no longer earn them, and they now offer zero points to your total. However, users who obtained these achievements during Labs testing are still able to display them below their avatar with a small 'Beta' banner over the achievement image.

With the second achievement update came three achievements which have since been removed. They all involved posting 1000 times in a certain forum, and were not retroactive. The extreme levels of spam in the forums caused so many problems that the achievements were switched off.
