I was so happy to see my first coffee cup a couple of weeks ago..sitting nice and proudly between my beans...Yesterday, I noticed it had vanished...what happened to it?...I wonder where did it go?...Did Juan Valdez steal it from me in the middle of the night?

There is an all points bulletin out for a loose coffee cup...white with a brown stripe and steam rising from the top...if you see this coffee cup, please let him know that he is missed...

The Internets move so fast nowadays I can't keep track of my coffee cups. Usually I just tie 'em down and they don't leave the Internets no more.

Great responses, but not the ones I'm looking for...:)

Seriously, is there any rhyme or reason for the cups appearances or possible disappearences? Is it the same as the bean count? If so, is there a post as to order of reciving them?

The beans and coffee cups are one of the great mysteries of the forum, and perhaps life itself :-P

I have searched this topic..there is plenty of discussions about beans and titles...but none on coffee cups...There was one there and now it's gone and I just wanted to know what happened to it..was it a false award?...was it taken away for a "my bad"?..or did it fall off the table?...

There is no posting on how they are awarded and was just curious is all...

Generally, you start off with green beans, which turn darker. These then move around. Then cups of coffee appear. After that, big tall cups appear.

AFAIK, it's pretty random.

My has gone too. I see a pattern here. Or rather: I don't. But everybody else appears to have the same problem.

short version:

the cups n beans system is controled by some dude/dudette on these forums. He/She decides where to draw the line for every "level" and how they should look like etc etc... my guess is that h/she changed the amounts of beans you needed for the cup.

That's the best answer yet...I sure wish a mod would confirm that...I know it was there and all someone would have to do is say that something was changed, and I'd be happy...:---)

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I didn't see your thread until yesterday... FYI, the Forums Discussion area is a perfect place to ask questions like this. :)

I love the way you say *the* CDROM. It really distinuishes you from ******* users who need about 20 to get a half-functioning computer.

Just got mine.

Someone steals it they'll be dodging rubber bullets! :lolflag:

Imagine Johnny Cash: :guitar:


I fell in,
To a hail of rubber bullets.
And it burns, burns, burns
Those rubber bullets.

I was just about to post about my cup disappearing and then i used the handy search forums for similar posts button "I swear it hasn't been there before" and found this thread. I too lost my cup, and i didn't even get demoted to having randomly turned beans. I felt like a boy scout that just lost a merit badge.
