Here is the back of the badge as promised. Unlike in recent years it has no theme as such, just a thank you to everyone who helped make the forum badge an actual thing:
Let me know what you think, I'm more than happy to tweak it

Well another year has passed and badges have been distributed. I am happy to say that the entire print run was collected, which is always a welcome sight. In previous years I have had to throw a lot of them away, but I think I now have the numbers about right.
Shout out to @Aphelion and @bacon_avenger who I met while at PAX West 2018 and we had a good chat about the badges and how awesome the event was this year. I'll be back at PAX East 2019, but for those of you who only go to West, I'll see you all in 12 months.

Argh. I totally forgot in the midst of working to pick one up. I'm glad they all got passed out, so I don't feel like "mine" was wasted. Can't wait to see next year's!

As easy as that is to do, please don't. I do put a lot of effort into making these badges and it really just take just 10 minutes to go to BYOC registration and ask for a badge. The Enforcers there are really welcoming and love asking the questions I compose each year. Besides, they are really cool looking and you will get asked about them while wearing it.
That's why I'm glad they were all given out, even if I didn't get one this year. I'll have that blank spot in my collection to remind myself next year.
Thanks again for doing this. I did catch a little gruff because i snapped a screenshot of the answers so they tried to make up questions and am completely horible with trivia
