Good to see that a new thread will continue to be updated. Long live the gallery!

5)   9 May 2011 22:39

Ah, nice to see a refreshed list of badges up. Nice work, very neat and tidy.

And just a heads-up, I don't think the "Guest Reviewer" badge is available any more. The thread about how to submit a review was taken down a couple of months ago. So I'm not sure if it's still available or not :P

Since this site is no longer accepting guest reviews, this assumption is probably correct. ;)

I may have missed it, there are a lot of icons up there, but I don't see the badges for the recent D&D Monster quiz.

10)   9 May 2011 22:53

Awesome, I always wondered just how many there were, and what particularly strange ones existed.

Changed. I would prefer confirmation from Lauren Admire since she was handling guest reviews last I remember, but if the User Reviews mod is saying so then I'm willing to take that as evidence enough.

I've only recently (recently as in less than ten minutes ago) added them in the quizzes section of the available badges. They weren't there when I originally posted the thread as it was all taken from the original gallery.

You should try looking at all the BBCode in those two posts. :P

Wasn't there supposed to be special badges for watching the ASTW season finale? I watched it, and never got one, but according to Virgil in the Tech Group they were available. I guess you had to do a magic dance or something.

I don't actually know what's happening with those badges; I don't even know of anyone who has recieved a badge, including the guy who made the series, even though they were awarding on the first night. I may bring it up with the Tech Team tomorrow to see if some error occured after the first night, but not now since the staff are offline to my knowledge and I'm tired enough as it is.

Nivag the Owl, who made the original gallery, warned me about how much code there was in the thread before I agreed to take his place. However, I still didn't anticipate that many tags.

According to Virgil when I asked him on the Tech Group "They're definitely awarding, we had 50-something go out last night [the day the video was released]".

Good job on the gallery. I spent quite a while going through my badges to see if there was any missed off. I have a lot of badges.

I feel really Internet old when I say that I actually remember when badges were first introduced back in aught eight. We had to say 'aught' back then 'cause 4chan had stolen the word "Oh". I chased them for twenty aught miles before I gave up.

...and that's how badges were invented.

So many badges...

Yeah, I saw that post in the group chat, I'm just wondering if something caused the badges to stop handing out since then.

As much as I hate the term, as a person on the Internet, I feel like I must respond with the obligatory 'cool story bro'.

Thank you for not removing the special thanks section. I always feel good seeing my name there. This group has done a lot for me, I'm glad to have returned the favour.

Since it's a continuation, people who contributed to the old thread have still contributed to this thread, so they still deserve recognition. However, I think I'll be a bit more strict on who gets into the section than it used to be, simply because so many people have contributed between the two threads and the group that listing them all there would be far too much work and would require a lot more characters.

Hey, I do work stuff!

And no. But after how much Computing coursework I've done this year, my dreams are now executed in VisualBasic.NET.

I got that too, I also got another one called "Branston Pickle". Dunno why though, it's a little bit weird. :P

Also, on the Regular and Landmark badges, the months should be 12 and 36 respectively, not 13 and 37.

I have a badge called "Shurikens and Lightning"
How did I get it?

I just got some Branson pickles, I don't know why...

They're giving out badges for watching specific Zero Punctuation episodes, from what I've seen. Virgil says that ten are going to be coming out over the next few days, as they are being implemented one at a time. This is going to be a fun week.

Sassafrass:
Also, on the Regular and Landmark badges, the months should be 12 and 36 respectively, not 13 and 37.

It's 'Has posted in more than 12 months' and 'Has posted in more than 36 months', hence 13 and 37 months. You're not the first to get confused by it.

What's this "Charismatic Stallion" badge? Looks kind of like the Ferrari logo.

EDIT: I guess it has to do with the badges you mentioned just now, nevermind.

Will they be added to the list at some point?

I'll add them to the list once we have all of the badges. It's simply to save time sorting out where they go in the list as well as the descriptions with them (why we're also holding off announcing them in the group).

Do you have an explanation for why they don't all show up on a guy's list when they've seen ALL the ZP videos?

Firstly, you need to be signed in when you watch the videos, which is why I'm missing a few badges. Also, the servers could just be taking time to recognise it, and some of the badges still need to be implemented, as each badge has to be introduced to the system and users one badge at a time.

Other than that, if you are still missing some of the known badges by this time tomorrow and you have seen all the videos whilst signed in, feel free to contact a staff member about it.

Good to know, though I will say I keep myself signed in all the time, really.

I leave myself online all the time as well, it's just that a lot of the old episodes of ZP I watched before I made an account on the site.
