Honestly, I don't care about the badges. They are dorky looking and I don't invest that much time to post, This will not encourage me to spend more time in other parts of this website. I would appreciate it if you keep the reputation gems though, as they seem to be quite popular amongst non-mods that post quite frequently. In fact, the only people that seem to be commenting on this thread (thus indicate the love for this) are mods, the welcome team/tsr involved ppl and the mega-tron posters.
