Might want to add another name to this list, since someone just signed up...

Smrnov I love, we have so much in common, and he's clearly going to get a TON of badges for all the gaming stuff. But I don't see him being super active on the site things, writing reviews, or doing that sort of stuff. He's too busy earning GS! He could get it if he wants though!

It won't take much participation to jump up there.

Currently I don't have time to look into some more time consuming badges... since I have some other stuff going on this month, maybe later... but it's great to know you're all thinking about me!

I think he mentioned only people near the top of the Badge leader board, your 153rd position might have caused him to overlook you.

Like you said, I got the feeling that it was intentionally spaced out to accomplish your task, while not affecting the site for others. (I wish curl still worked for other reasons, but it doesn't.)



(Seems like something I wanted to do with wget wasn't working right either, but, I haven't had a chance to chat with Eric about it, need to remember to look at that again...)
