10 years ago I ventured across a large ocean and a continent to attend my first ever PAX. It was called PAX 2008 back then as there was no other PAX. Now there are 5 of them and while a lot a changed some things remain the same and this includes the Forum Badge. Created as a means to recognise other forum members amongst the vast army of people who attend PAX, the Forum Badge has become quite the tradition for those who still post here. Over the last 10 years the importance of forums has dwindled thanks to the rise of social media sites and other community management portals like Discord, but that hasn't stopped us from continuing to fly the flag of the forums. Where else would the myth of the bobcat come about? How did the Cookie Brigade start and what about the Challenge Coin? Oh and let's not forget the Pre-PAX Board Game Night and the Tri Wizard bar crawl. All of these things come from the forums and this year we are going to celebrate that fact!
So here are the three choices for the theme for the 10 year anniversary of the PAX Forum Badge:
1) Arcade cabinet from early 1980's
2) A loot box
3) Self congratulatory 10 years of Forum Badge that celebrates its existence after all of these years.
Let me know which one grabs you the most by responding to this post with 1,2 or 3 and we shall put it to the vote on THURSDAY 5TH JULY At which point the top two will be selected and a prototype of each design developed. There will then be another round of voting and we shall select the final design. So what are you waiting for? Get voting!
3!!!! 10 years - wow! I appreciate them every time I've gotten them (which is probably slightly less than half the time you've been doing them). Thank you, @kropotkin !
I appreciate all the hard work that you do and although I have been going for 10yrs now, I've missed most the badges except the last couple years. I would love to celebrate all your work and pick #3! Thank you.

I vote #1. Just an FYI last year was my first PAX and my badge has been on my wall all year reminding me of PAX, right next to my 4 actual day badges. This is an incredible thing so THANK YOU!
I need to set a reminder to get one this year. Initially I was like "oh that's awesome, but I dunno what I'd do with it." Last year was "I'd like one, I do believe" but never got around to seeking it out.
THIS year though. This year I will find you.
