Epiphany about Badges.


Parties like Pinkie

Recommended Posts

I was thinking, as I somehow manage to only do when I'm suffering from lack of sleep, when I realized:

 

Badges may be good, they provide a sense of accomplishment for those who've earned them, and a goal for those going for the "Brony" badge.

 

However, there will be a day when badges won't be all that great anymore, and that day is when, in the future, that 80%+ of us have the "Brony" badge.

 

It won't be that special anymore, since everyone will have it!

 

Now, down to the main reason for thinking this:

 

Make more badges? XD

Interesting idea.... But what would be at a higher rank than the 'Brony' badge? ........Tara Strong? ;)

I was just wondering How can you see previous badges?

I had something besides the bird for awhile (not the parasprite one) and then I got the bird again.

I just wanted to know what it was since i though they were all related to post counts.

Who ever said Brony was the highest post count attainable badge? ;)

@Swoop

One does not simply become Administrator to gain the pink badge

 

Feld0 can easily alters the post count required for each badge, right? So bird badge will be 1000 post, phoenix at 2500, and brony at 8000. That way it will takes forever for everyone to get the brony badge

Interesting concept. However, Swoops statement did make me question my knowledge of the subject. I am sure someone will, do something about it. Maybe they already have? Maybe after Brony there is a badge, for 10,000 posts, but what's better than a brony? Oh right! Normal, real-life person! I figure if I can achieve a socially acceptable, then I will win at the forums big! I'm not sure I have the willpower to adapt for that one though. Interesting concept...

As long as we continue to gain hundreds upon hundreds of new members every month, I can assure you that we will not reach the day that all the active users have the brony badge. I see a great mix of many different tiers of badges from great contributors, and those who stuck around long enough to get over 3500 posts are likely sufficiently invested into the community to not get bored simply because there aren't as many badges left for them anymore.

 

We can always shuffle the badges around if the need arises, and we could also look into getting more of them created.

 

I would also like to quote Swoop:

True... but no one has gotten higher that brony yet. Honestly, you wouldn't make it. And I doubt that feld0 would (unless she hacked into her own program) either. So... yeah.

 

I'm a guy. ;)

Feld0 is a he....

 

Edit: Whoops Feld0 already said it.

 

But, more badges after brony!? Maybe a Super Brony badge? ;)

Just so everypony knows, there is no reason why there won't be more badges to come. There is no highest badge overall, because we can always add more and more. Anyone here a Dragon? I thought not!

Yeah a dragon would be an awesome one to come in between unicorn and brony...


Sorry about the temporary lack of signature, I have changed my name, so I need a new one.

I personally don't feel the need for more badges, but I'm not one to get 100+ posts in a week.

I agree with you about feelings of accomplishment. The badges are like a personal achievement, not something to compare myself to others. It shows my dedication to posting here, especially when I would like to think that each of my posts count. :lol:

I only have 113 posts so far, but honestly, that's the most I've ever posted on a single forum. I think that, at the least, means something!

....

Badges were never cool in my opinion, lol.

 

Sure, they're neat.

 

But I don't feel special for having a badge no one else does xD

 

It is my friends on the forum that count, and the times I have.

 

Not the picture under my name.

Um, am I the only one here who remembers the “Certified Brony” rank that nopony has reached yet....?

 

That new one was discovered with all the badge glitch hubbub some days ago.

No, we remember it but nopony is sure what you do to get it ^^

Yeah I don't think badges matter much either, but they're still fun to have. Also, everyone posts at different rates, so it will take some of us longer than others to get all of them, that is if they stick around long enough to do it(I likely will). ;)
