🔒 Suggestion: Remove "Added" Date for Achievements

Simple suggestion! I think the dates when the achievements were added to the site could be removed from the achievement page. They don't really relay anything about the achievements themselves except informing users that there are More achievements now, but this could always just be noted in a changelog, in a "Added three new hidden achievements" fashion.

I bring this up because, while I understand what the meaning of that statistic is now, the first time I looked at my own achievements and saw "Added 26 August 2024" I was very confused because I thought that was meant as the date that I had obtained the achievement and that was... before I even had an account 😂 and I wonder if it might confuse other new users as well.

Did you ever find this stat confusing?

The achievement timestamps were added after a few users expressed confusion that they had "randomly" gotten a new achievement having done nothing to trigger it. (Whenever a new achievement can be reliably, retroactively distributed to those who have already met the conditions, I do so.) So the timestamp was meant to indicate that the achievement is brand new and that's why they suddenly received it in their inbox despite having already met the requirements prior to that date.

Rather than remove it, since it does serve a purpose that addresses a previous problem, maybe it needs to be rephrased to something like "Achievement added to game on [timestamp]"?

Ah, that makes sense! I think a rewording would work for that then yeah, personally yes emoji
