Why were the alpha and beta badges created? I've never heard why, so I'm just curious.

Because some of us begged for notoriety.

... and, some of us didn't. ;P

*sigh*

Why do you obsess about them? Just accept their existence, since they don't mean anything in terms of skill or character.

moldy has a bad case of alpha envy ;)

They're there partly because we wanted to reward those who stayed with us way back in the troubled beginning.

So what is this, the 'only slightly less troubled beta part dux'?

yes. Gamma testing. ;)

Sweet, I get an "I survived Deliverator" gamma badge!

Damnation! I want one of those! "I saw the Deliverator and all I got was this lousy badge".

Whaddya want, a frikking MEDAL?
Oh.
I vote we give Lecter the "annoying ass-hat" medal. I'll draw one up.

Lecter doesn't even exist anymore, LeberMeat :P Now, if I can start having a little medal in all my posts...

heh

Use at your discretion.

Excellent!

hahaha

LeberMac, make a ribbon-only pic, so it doesn't take up half a page...

Sheesh, download it & crop it. What ya want me to hold yer hand as you cross the street, too, tosh?

>:P

If you could manage, I'd like that very much. Streets always put me in a panic-like state. You could say I'm viaphobic.

I don't even want to use it, I just want people's posts not to take up half a page :]
