A wild "Epic Poster" appeared!

[Voulan]

I received mine this morning. I assumed at first it was because my posts were of a higher quality or something.

As for me, I like my "On Fire" badge. I made a thread about games people wished had never been made, and it turns out quite a lot of people had something to say about that. Plus it looks really impressive.

Otherwise I like my 74+1 badge. It's blue!

Well I am glad I am not the only one. Was just looking for a way to contact some staff that could help cause knowing my luck someone would see it on me and I would be banned. Oh evil badge, trying to get me killed it is.

Oh god...


Perhaps it's an elaborate plot to get rid of those who have not posted enough!

D:

Get the tinfoil hats!


Or has the pub club master race finally decided to exterminate all us mere peasants?!

Oh no....it is as was predicted long ago. All those of low poster counts who were marked for doom, hide in your forts. Do not come out lest they find you.

...mine is made from pillows, all I could afford.

I once had 5001 messages. Just once, though.

That was the one and only time Escapist has ever glitched up on me.

 

[Evil Moo]

Happened to me too. I wonder if they'll let us keep the badge.

 

[Moderated]

Aw I thought I got it legit :<
I assumed that the number after 272 was 1000.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

I just got it too. I've been here for years and only ever gotten one warning for low content, so I'll take it lol.

 

[Ickorus]

My favourite earnt badge is probably Miracle of Goat because of what happens when you click it, I like the red button too but hate how I had to obtain it.

I'm really trying to get to 5000 posts without an infraction too, gonna take a while given that I don't post too much.

 

[Uszi]

Cheaters, cheaters all of you.

I was working so hard to get my bajillion-posts-no moderator-wrath, and then I think I got reported for low content or some silly shiznaz once.

I was so sad, you don't even know.

 

[Loop Stricken]

*Checks PMs*

Aww, nothing. Although I did get the... hot topic, I think, a few days ago. Completely out of the blue.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I just got it as well... but now I don't know if I got it out of merit or if it was part of the glitch.

EDIT: My bad. I got the "Prolific" badge today. I've had "Epic Poster" for a while now.

 

[IceForce]

Aww, why didn't I get one?

The site clearly hates me...

Lucky son of a gun. Just the other day, the site continuously derped out on me, giving me 4997 messages roughly every ten minutes for about an hour, and I kept seeing threads that had 143 pages even though they were actually only at one or two.

And the Popular Forum Posts box has been getting stuck for the past few days, only updating once every hour, twelve minutes past the hour.

EDIT: As far as OT goes, I've never really thought about any particular badge I like the most, but I do quite like my combination of Serenity surrounded by Old Snake on both sides.

 

[Ushiromiya Battler]

I just got it too... What the heck?
I'm not even close

 

[Darks63]

I also got it although i was only 23 shy of the mark.

I clicked. hrmpft..

 

[AngelBlackChaos]

My mailbox is always rapidly changing, so maybe getting a badge that I haven't earned might be next in the bag.

I think the part that will be hardest for me would be making it to 1000 posts, not avoiding the infractions.

Also, I want daystar's badge. But probably due to mentioning it, I will not.

...sad.

Edit: Oh silly me. Of course I got the badge. I have long ignored my mailbox, since it alternates between 11, 256, and 346 messages.

 

[Death Carr]

I woke up this morning and when I opened The Escapist I noticed I had a message in my inbox
Normally all my messages are from User Groups, but this time it's because I had been awarded a badge

(Local time is 12:00 PM as of posting)
Now, as you can see this is my 380th post and as of posting it is still in my list of badges

So I was wondering two things:
1) Has anybody else experienced this before?
and 2) Why did I get awarded this when I am far from 1000 posts?

 

[Berithil]

It's a bug that has been going around today. Several other users that are under 1000 posts have received it. I'm sure it will be worked out.
