Some of you may have noticed that today you received any badges that you had pending. That's because Talon managed to find the relevant code and make a number of cool updates.

Firstly, the GameDB related badges are now all working again. They've been dormant for years but now we have a proper community-sourced database again we can bring them back, and today we did just that. Most of the stuff you can contribute to the database will work towards unlocking a profile badge. You can view the full list of available badges here - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/badges/

Secondly Talon is going to make it so that they update on a regular basis - hopefully once every week. So no more having to wait an eternity to receive your badges.

Thirdly, that still leaves us with a handful of badges that have never worked. We're going to look into getting them up and running.

Fourthly, we're going to be adding new badges - the first set of badges since the Supporter badges were added. I'll be compiling a list of ideas to present to Talon shortly and then we'll bring the community on board to help with the designs, which will give a new set of users the chance to earn the Designer badge.

want to thank you and the others for all the work to make this site great again😁
