"How the hell did I get this badge?"

[Simalacrum]

Sup Escapists!

So, relatively recently I unexpectedly got my hands on the "On fire" badge; a rather difficult badge to get, this is rewarded to a user if they gain over 10,000 views on a thread that they have made.

The only problem is that I haven't made any threads recently... let alone a thread that would warrant 10,000 views. So I'm not entirely sure how I got the badge.

So, does anyone know how to check where I got the badge? I know that there are a lot of people who wander "where did I get ______ badge from?" as well, so if anyone else has a similar question, feel free to put your enquiry as a comment, and who knows, maybe someone will answer

Thanks for any help y'all can give!

Have a juggling video for your troubles (since I'm the 'Resident Juggler', its kinda my thing to add a juggling video to my threads :3)

It's most likely just random people looking at your old threads. The really difficult one is Forum Inferno or something, with the black background. I forget how many that is, but it's ridiculous.

Did you start a forum game? That's how I got mine without really trying.

It's 100000, so unless you make "thread of the year" or a hit Forum Game/RP then it's not easy to get...

This seems like an issue for a mod.

I am rather curious as to why (and fairly pleased that)the warning I had on my forum health meter is gone. Not sure how that happened.

That would be because you've gone a certain duration of time without receiving mod wrath; the meter deteriorates slowly as time goes on, I think its 1 bar of the meter every 3 months? Hope that helps!

Nnnope, I don't really do forum games (as can be told by my relatively low post count, despite being here for 3 years...)

Now is the best opportunity to say "look at my red badge".

You think your post count is low? pfft.

No! NO! I refuse to press that horror of a button! No more! Once is enough!

I'm afraid not... I'm not even close to as good as that yet

To be fair, I compare myself to the likes of Sassafrass... you know, 60,000 posts?

No, couldn't have been, I didn't post that thread.

Most likely a combination of user groups and forum games... that generally means lot content posts, quick and easy = BIG post count. I generally lurk in off-topics, advice, and Pub Club exclusive forum, which is high-content discussion a lot of the time, so even though I've here for 4 years now (I feel old...) my post count is comparatively low

I have a similar one, it says CANDY CANDY CANDY or something like that...no idea where I got it.

Similarly, I saw that someone had a "watched all Yahtzee videos" or something, and I know I have done that. My only guess is that I somehow forgot to log in for one. Is there a way to check what I have watched on my profile?

You should probably just ask the moderation team or the administration.
Us mortals have a hard time answering stuff like this.

Also, curse you for getting that damned badge. I want the bugger.

I think he was referring to the "forum inferno" badge.
To which I say, "Bah!"
