I often get a pm that I’ve got a new badge. I guess someday, I’ll go look at my badge page. Maybe they should give us money instead, eh.

I want to trade them in for get-out-of-ban-free tokens.

You realize you're displaying four of them? I think four is the limit of badges displayed for a regular user of the forum, but don't hold me to that number.

A weird thing is if you decide to change the badges you display, by un-displaying one, you will never be able to display it again. I don't know why the forum software is set that way, but that is what I have been told or read somewhere about the badges. So be very cautious about the ones you decide not to display.

Don't think that is true, I just clicked on display some badges and you can mix and match any badges you want or don't want to show. I had previously un-displayed all the badges so now I am displaying them again.

Will remove them in a while so as not to clutter up stuff.
