    As you may have noticed things have become terribly quiet on the forum badge front. This is due to me becoming injured while moving home! I tore a muscle in my shoulder and the resulting swelling trapped a nerve in my right arm causing me a considerable amount of discomfort! This type of injury takes a while to heal and only now can I confidently state that I can once again put myself behind a keyboard and a mouse and allow myself to continue the design work.

    The images have now been deleted by my ISP as they shut down the webs server storage they once offered, so I'm going to have to find a new home for the images. I shall be working on the new badge designs over the next few weeks so do watch this thread. Apologies for not keeping you updated on things, but boy was I badly hurt!

    Oh no :( I hope you're feeling better now. But I would definitely be interested in forum badges! I've gone to PAX East for the last two years and I'm new to this forum, but would we pay for them, and if so how much? I would love to buy a couple :).

    Kropotkin provides them for free to the community. He has resisted any attempt in the past to help with costs.

    That's really awesome :). I still wouldn't mind helping defer costs or even donating, I'm sure it's time consuming at the least.

    Yes, another forum badge to add to the collection! Can't wait.

    Sign me up as well. Also, if there is a cost-burden that needs to be shared, count me in on that too. Thanks!

    @Kropotkin can correct me if I'm speaking out of turn, but I am almost 100% sure that he will not accept any money for this.

    Get Well Soon Kropotkin! Imugr.com would be my suggestion (its free) to host images with control over your account. And I'd love to get my name on the badge again.


  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    I assume with image hosting, he wants something where he isn't signing license over to anyone or what have you. I could be wrong though. I could just host it via my web space he wants, I have loads.

    I hope everything works out Kropotkin. I love your badges every year.

    @zerzhul is correct in that I do not accept offers of money for these badges. It's my little way of giving something back. I've worked on the back of the badge and the FAX version is looking really good, but a little hard to read. Once I'm happy with it I'll post it up on here.

    Second PAX East, I'll be in for a badge. I'll watch this threat in case there's any help needed or anything like that.

    I too would be interested in getting one of these. I've gone to PAX East twice, but just started using the forums a few days ago. I don't know how I never noticed anyone with these at PAX before.

    The thing about these badges is that only around 200+ are handed out, yet the attendance of PAX East is 80,000. They are very rare, even more rare than the coveted scarves! Hence you not spotting them, But once you know they are about, you will spot them.

    Yeah, once you get your first you will see them all over :)

  • AboutLastNightAboutLastNight Whitney Registered User regular
    Are they passed out randomly, or only to forum people?

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    Only to forum people. There's a specific method to gain one.

    I agree as well! First Pax East for me...but I'm trying to soak up all things Pax east if at all possible...so this is a silly question but how do I acquire this forum badge?

    Here we have 3 versions of the front of the PAX East 2013 forum badge. All are based on it being printed by the evil fax machine from The Office Space film. Here is what happened to that fax machine if you're not familiar with the movie:

    i like the look of #1 the best, but #3 really looks like it came from an evil fax machine. can't decide between aesthetics and authenticity.
