Is it too late to make some?

Which have you already got, and is there a finalised list??

Also, I did some browsing, and I can see about 5 threads which have over 1,000 posts. Hardly anyone will ever get that badge. Maybe lowering it to 500 would be better? Just saying


Nope. See Brett's reply. You can make badges for any of the ones listed and we'll pick the best.

Going to be adding the remainder in a bit, that'll be the finalised list.

It's not supposed to be easy! Still, I think plenty of regulars will end up getting that badge.

I wouldn't be so certain, the most posts in a thread of mine is 300 >.<

At any rate, I made an awesome badge for people who make it to that point!

Will this update include the remaining 70-ish badges? I can only think of, well, 30 more...

Must try harder then :P

Yep, the remaining ~70. As soon as I've completed my other duties I'll be right on it.

There's no rush...

I reckon that thread will reach around 800-1000 posts. So it MIGHT just reach it

So, they'll be something for posting in VGC, sales threads, GamrReview, uploading banners, Uploadiong release dates, Uploading Box-Arts, Adding games and rating games. Unless there's some staff-only stuff I can't think of the rest.

lol, yeah well that's your thread, it's not a great one either so not sure why you expect 1000 to be difficult when that alone got 300!!

At any rate, I made an awesome badge for people who make it to that point!

Will this update include the remaining 70-ish badges? I can only think of, well, 30 more...

You were correct also, staff get a shiny badge just for being staff, woo!

My thread is perfectly fine thank you. It's just...missing an OP is all. But it's nearly fixed!

And a shiny badge...evil staff are evil. We peasants deserve a dull badge for being nothing special!

So what's the most posts you've ever got in your thread then? I doubt it's over 9 1,000 anyway...

Any examples then? Or is this all talk no game

My thread is getting sorted out I'll have you know. It's also my first attempt at anything like it, so I've learnt now. I'll be doing the same thing next year, but in a different format...

Well...I'll believe you just this once

Will design some more badges which flow with an overall theme really. I don't have the tiome now, sadly...

I'm also intrigued as to Machina saying it'll be FAR easier to get >1000 posts in a single thread. Either they expect like, loads more users to flock for some reason or they're doing something completely different.
