Hi @- Ω -, We have anniversary Badges but I disabled them - There are numerous accounts of people who took 2 mins to sign up and never did anything with them. No posts, no engagement, zero participation. Those inactive accounts shouldn’t be rewarded with Badges every year for merely existing. I want our Badges to reward activity and achievement. We replaced the “Anniversary” Badges with Streaks Badges that reward daily participation, with rewards for 7 Day, 30 Day, 100 Day, and 365 Day login streaks! Can you unlock them all? 😄

It'll be impossible for me to do 365 days.  Life gets in the way.

@- Ω - That’s what makes it an achievement. If you didn’t have to strive to earn a badge - it would be without meaning. It wouldn’t have value. If it was easy for everybody to have a 365 day badge it would lose its specialness. Only the purest of hearts will achieve the rarest of badges.

It’s not about quantity it’s about rarity. The badges aren’t about “how many you have“ it’s about “what have you done, where have you been?” Badges act as mile markers along our path. They are to chronicle and remind us of the things we’ve done in the site, the events we’ve taken part in, the little “rocks and stones” we’ve turned over along the way. Like writing “Omega was here” on the wall and leaving it behind.

Every time you partake in an event, join in a Squad Challenge, create a new club or blog - it’s another chance to unlock something new. There are even hidden Badges for secret achievements that we haven’t announced! Almost like a scavenger hunt! You never know when the next thing you do will unlock a Badge, or when you'll be recognized for a "good deed". It’s not supposed to be easy or anything short of “nearly impossible”
