When you have an “excessive” amount of badges, as my mentor noted over my shoulder while visiting me yesterday.
You’d invite even the regulars you don’t get along with to a barbeque/fish fry/gathering just to have the familiar faces all together.
As an ‘actually happened’ though I saw my niece riding my pit/border collie mix like a horse and my first thought is ‘Should this go in the ‘show off your pets’ thread, or would i get away with being able to make a specialty pitbull thread?’ Then I realized no camera so wondered if I should just post in the ‘fuck me’ thread instead.
how many is too many?
He didn’t specify; he just indicated that I have a lot…
You do, they gamified this pretty well.
Score, another badge for me (the reply by email).
You have a BBS Mentor?!
Now that’s being addicted.
*lolz
Not quite.
I have a mentor in meatspace (@ebonstorm) who also happens to be a member of Boing Boing; though he’s not as active on the forum as I am.
Ha! So I only thought I was joking then!
I’ve been here half as long as you have, but still have the same number of unique badges:
Although your badges are different and you’ve earned far more of the non-unique ones.
Unless you’re such an addict that you look at the criteria for each badge and just think LOL.
Wait, where’s my meatspace boingboing member mentor?
I have a feeling you don’t live near me.
I don’t live near anybody! All my friends be like, why do you live so far away from everything?
Yeah, I don’t think we’re even in the same hemisphere.
Haven’t they contacted you yet? I thought everyone got … uh…never mind.
Tease. I like you.
