I agree badges really meant something before and looked better. Not so much anymore

I agree badges aren't really as big of a milestone without them cycling.

I really liked the rotating badges personally.

I was on the day of release but didn't get mine

They're not really badges anymore, they're 'achievements' which you Can earn. There are a few that are made a little easy to get, but the hard badges still exist. They probably just made some easier badges so people could feel involved, not everybody was capable of submitting downloads, videos or making awesome graphics. They just need to make the harder badges stand out more than the easier ones in my opinion.

That rainmaker badge is pretty terrible though, there shouldn't be a badge for your post count lmao. The rainmaker only encourages those below one thousand to spam the forums, we have enough of that already.

I think the new badges are really professional and clean, I think they go with the theme very well.

I liked the look of the old badges better... but I guess change is always good. still missing the purple awesome badge!!!!!

I do thing there could be a few badges for people just to give them. like the V5 badge. as long as there is not very many.
