Secret Userbars Thread (Unlocking quests!)

[TsUNaMy WaVe]

Welcome! This thread (originally titled "Quest for the new "chill" userbar!") was opened so us CKers could work together and find out how to unlock some of the more mysterious userbars! (The content of the original thread can be found in the spoiler in the bottom of the thread).
For a general information about userbars and how to get the "simple" ones, you should check (you need an account to see links)!
This thread will list the userbars the other thread doesn't say how to obtain. We are still working on it, so if you know anything about a userbar that still has unknown conditions, let us know or help us figure out!

Additional Pokemon Userbars

You might see some Pokemon userbars that aren't mentioned in the official thread. They are given out on special tournaments/events. You can see them (you need an account to see links).

Some unlocking notes for the post-based pokemon userbars:

The Pokémon Master userbars are tied to ranks in a sense. Userbars are tied to a mechanic in vBulletin called user groups. vBulletin has a system for automatically awarding user group access to users based on criteria like amount of posts, reputation and/or account age, but there's one additional requirement: your primary user group. Your rank is also your primary user group. In order to qualify to be awarded access to a new user group, we had to map each primary user group (rank) to every other user group that you'd most likely be able to reach within a given set of parameters. If we didn't happen to map an awarded user group to one of the five ranks, then you're effectively disqualified from unlocking that user group's userbar until you rank-up.

TL;DR if you're not unlocking a certain Pokémon Master userbar, then it's restricted by rank.

That's correct. Blastoise, Charizard, Latios and Latias, and Suicune all require top clraik or higher to unlock. As do other post-related userbars of similar value.

Extra information about retired (and non-retired) userbars:

That's a bit tricky. The vast majority of our currently unobtainable userbars pertain to events that were outside of our staff's control. Just so you know ... I had to do a lot of legwork for this list:

• The Altador Cup userbars pertain to past events on Neopets, and were rewarded for participating on clraik's team of choice that year. The Altador Cup All-Star userbar will be awarded annually, so that's still obtainable.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) was run by a user that is no longer active. That userbar isn't retired, but it wasn't used for future events.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) was run by @(you need an account to see links), so she could bring that userbar back as many times as she wants.
  
  
• Although the (you need an account to see links) went on a long hiatus, it was run by @(you need an account to see links) this year. Those userbars could come back if anybody is willing to run it again.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) is an annual event that is run by @(you need an account to see links).
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) is an annual event that is run by @(you need an account to see links).
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) is run by @(you need an account to see links) when she's not too busy being a mom, a bear, and a spectacular moderator in that order.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) was run by @(you need an account to see links). She could bring that contest back any time that she wants to, but she's playing hard to get.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) is also run by @(you need an account to see links), when she wills it so.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) event was run by @(you need an account to see links), but I think she has disowned us. She never shows up to staff chat any more, and we miss her.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) event was run by @(you need an account to see links) and @(you need an account to see links). They've been known to run it at random when it pleases the Capitol.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) is given out to exemplary users. It's not retired. I'll leave it at that for now.
  
  
• The (you need an account to see links) competition hasn't run since 2013. Those userbars could also come back if anybody is willing to run it again.
  
  
• All of our Pokemon userbars, aside from the ones earned as posting incentives, are still obtainable. We offer a variety of them during events hosted by our staff.

The battledomer userbars were retired because the event was a bit too risky, and the 1,000,000 posts userbar was only available between 1,000,000 and 1,002,500 posts - approximately one week.

How many userbars can I display and how does it work?!

The amount of userbars you can stack depends on the categories you've unlocked. For each category a slot is added. Rank bars do not occupy those available slots.

ooh it's so pretty
I WANT IT
Let's figure this one out!!

Maybe it's related to music somehow? It gives me heavy vaporwave / chillwave vibes

Please log in to view spoilers.

Edit: posting in the "Post the song you are listening to!" thread didn't work for me. Unless you have to share a video there at night? Flordibel has it and she posted there around 11pm NST it looks like?

And if your beats are particularly chill, you can nab this userbar as well!

Chill

going by Bat's intro i was thinking music too @(you need an account to see links)

not sure if they would make another time based one but who really knows.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

that thread really was the first that came to mind when reading bat's description for me so perhaps indeed linked to posting a vid? not sure though.

perhaps @(you need an account to see links) could give us a hint

[Goxar]

It definitely seems like it has something to do with music, guys

[Nimoligist]

I do not think it's winter related. Maybe music related but as far as how to get it I have no idea..

[TsUNaMy WaVe]

Music related! Great catch guys! I told you I wouldn't know where to start lol.
I also don't think this one will be time related.... but who knows.

It might be like the welcome wagon? idk after how many posts I got that one, but it was more than 5 for sure. So maybe being more active in the music forum?

[Ariealle]

I got mad windows 98 screensaver vibes from that.

edit: ok seriously love to avatar hunt, am a true fan to the core, but score is mediocre at best.
so something about userbars is reigniting this flame that i thought was once lost. im here for it.

[Nyanobyte]

Ahhh! This one is SO COOOOOL!

[Koto]

Maybe its also time-themed? It seems a bit sunrise-y? Maybe music in the mornings sort of thing?

[Hazem]

I just got it

Vaporwave vibes in the music section
