Then there's a badge for creating a thread with more than 100,000 views...
What does that even look like?!?
It's like the other "create a thread with x views" badges, but the flame is smaller and more red, and the background is black.

I, too, burn with an undying desire for the golden star badge! Or at least to learn what the bloody hell you get it for!!!

I imagine Xitel, Galletea, and Fanboy earned theirs through their "Holiday Council" dealy somehow... sadly, I am nowhere near as innovative or talented :(

I've dubbed the bearers of Thanks! Badges the 'Secret Cult of the Golden Star'.

Of course, the answer will (probably) come in due time, but it's bugging me. I feel like I'm missing out on something big, and I want to be a part of it.

The Thanks badge is pretty self-explanatory. For most of the badges, check my profile, I've got almost all of the non-contest related ones. As for the Pony badge:

FOR PONY!!!

That's my problem. A lot of people with these badges, I can't understand why. If people were genuinely 'earning' it, Anarchemitis, NewClassic, Labyrinth, Ultrajoe and a few more than that would have said badge.

The Iron Ninja (For his Webcomic, same reason why Anarchemitis ahould have one) and Fanboy (For his Custom Avatars) are ones I can understand, but Singing Gremlin? Galletea? Richard Groovy Pants?

More and more are appearing, and for seemingly no reason. That's what I want explained.

I don't know about Gremlin, but note a correlation between a certain thread I am known for, the OP, and the newest batch of Thanks badges.

So RGP and Fanboy got theirs for dolling up avatars? Meh; it's not worth the time and effort.

I'll need to take a closer look then, but I am still very curious about how you get said badge, as everyone besides you either jokes about it or say 'It's a Secret!'.

EDIT: Okay, so quite a few are accounted for (although Conqueror Kenny doesn't seem to have one).

I have a little bit of peace now; but some users still go unanswered for.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but is there anything more useless to collect than these badges?
*laughs*

On the Boardgame Geek, I have over 200 of them, and although we can only show a LIMITED amount of them, it's kind of neat to earn them over time as you participate. I don't have any contributor placards to put around my avatar (because I don't donate money - although if you ask Octavian, I often help out the moderators) but maybe one day I'll do it just so I look like EVERYONE else.

Oh wow, I thought this thread died out before it even got a post. That was quite a surprise. I'll add all the mentioned ones, as long as they have a description as well :)

Where do you go to do Arcade Escapee? Or is that actually an old one?

There's a text game you can play to win it. Just type 'arcade escapee' into the search bar to find the topic. It's still active to play and win the badge.

I can understand why xitel and fanboy got the thanks badge with the star, but RGP? How the bloody hell did he get it? Because i honestly doubt he deserves it. It's honestly way beyond me.

And before anyone starts, no, i'm not jealous.

Translation:

"Bwaaaaaaah! Mommy, he haz a Thanks badge and I dooooooon't! :("

I'll ask again. Why wouldn't I get a Thanks badge?
...because you're too shady and secretive - it's killing us not knowing how you got that DAMN badge!!

Frankly, I don't care about badges. Sure, getting a Thanks! or a Pony badge probably would give me some sort of pride, but I'm not going to try explicitly for any of those. If the staff feels I'm deserving, they can give me.

But I think a badge-thread such as this would probably cut down the numbers of "How to Get X Badge?" threads.

Presumably because he was helping edit avatars for christmas/valentines in the 'Holiday Council' thread.
