Promoted to Regular?

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm not sure where else to ask and no one in chat had a clue. It's a forum function of some kind so this seemed the best place to ask.

I got a strange notification today.

Can anyone tell me what exactly this means?

    It's funny because it happened right after I got my seven year anniversary badge.

    So it's like, "You've been around for seven years! You're now a regular!"

    This is basically along the lines of what I figured.

    Badgers?

    (I also got this notification yesterday, and had no idea what it meant. I took it to mean I should probably stop coming here while at work).

    Actually, looking at some of those people, it looks like there are several badges that I qualify for that I have not received yet.

    The only automatic badges that are enabled, that I know of, are the yearly anniversary badges and the ones that come from the "wanted" game. Everything else is either manually handed out or was accidentally turned on (post counts, agree/awesome counts) and quickly shut off. Too much of a pain in the ass to go and manually remove any that got awarded accidentally during that period.

    You basically had to log in during that brief window when they were enabled and when they turned it off to get the badges for likes and awesomes and quotes and all that.

    If my understanding of vanilla is correct.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    I'm confused about the ancient badge... like, if I recall... 10 years ago was the nazi forum problem and the forums got brought down, didn't we have to remake accounts when the forum came back up? I thought I only missed out on like a month before I realized the forums were back

    I guess I'll get my ancient badge in a month?

    edit: or never because no one loves me. I'll go cry in the corner now.

    Not everyone had to remake accounts.
    I decided to because I wanted a different(shorter) name.

    Obsession with badgers is the reason there are so very few of them active right now. Maybe lets stop talking about them and avoid the wrath of the admin.

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    Also people mislabelling them as "badges"

  • GrathGrath I'm a much happier person these days Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Clearly they are badgers. My anniversary ones actually built a nifty little dam the other day. Its quite lovely.

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    That's beavers
