The CheckerBoard

I like to think my post count reflects my "speak only when you have something worthwhile to contribute" philosophy. Regardless, I think the idea has merit as it will likely contribute to more posting by those who like shiny, spiffy badges. Great idea.

Hey DougG,

Any way the one with no text could be tweaked a bit? Was thinking making that the "longevity" only badge. Torchbearer with text would be time and participation.

Was wondering if you could incorporate a 1, 2 and 3 into the longevity badge somewhere you think would look best. Or, maybe make the torches smaller and have 1 torch for one year, two torches for 2 years, 3 torches for 3 years, etc.

Thoughts?

Here are three iterations of the badge with just the checkerboard and torch. I've included a subtle orange number on the right that would correspond with the number of years.

Let me know if y'all think these work, or if the numbers need to be more prominent, etc.

Exactly what I was hoping for here. Thx, Doug.

Genuis! +1

Man, there sure does seem to be a lot more "good job" posts lately, lol. Is the net result of the badge gonna mean more fluff, less stuff?

I agree, I'd give you a +1 if I could....

You're having a conversation with your self? That's awesome. +1

...all those years of talking to myself have finally found a way to be a positive in my life! And by positive, I mean not back inside the padded cell. Gawd, I really hate that place....

Good idea. I am ready to hit the "reply" button.

Guess Jay Graham won't get a badge?

I came here to say the same thing but you beat me to it.

Goodbye 'Coach Scram'.
