    According to this FAQ on the new recognition system, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/ff395928.aspx#_Recognition_System achievement points are given based on a number of different scenarios.  One of those scenarios is Forum Posts and you can see a bronze achievement issued after 1000 post, silver after 5000 posts and gold after 50000 posts.  Are these actually being awarded as I have nearly 6000 posts and still don't have the bronze or silver.

    It is not yet implemented, except in a very limited way. Some people are getting bronze achievements for entering their profile, or contributing to the Gallery. I believe they have not yet decided how to convert existing posts, answers, and/or points. The graphic in the page you linked is probably a proposed example. Note the graphic mentions posts, not points. You have nearly 6000 points, not posts. I checked, and at least in the TechNet forums, no one is even near 50,000 posts. The people I know to be the most active, with the most posts, answers, and points, have no achievement points as yet (or maybe one bronze point for updating their profile). I have seen no silver or gold at all. We all need to wait for details when this is finalized. We have no idea how existing posts, answers, and/or points will be converted.

    Brent, the owner of the Forums, will be sharing more on the integration of Forums to the new Recognition system in the coming weeks. Watch for information, likely here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/announce/threads
