UnOfficial EN Badge Brainstorming Thread...

in Announcements 🎙

We've been working at making the forums _that_ much cooler. You'll notice each user picture now has city/state under it on the left side of each post...and that the member map is jaw droppingly awesome. Now we'd like to have the option for some "flair" that you can drop into your signature area.

This will mean heading out to get some images made, and we'd like to have a comprehensive list before we go. Here's a bunch of starter ideas, please add your own below...thanks!

 

Season Focus:  Ironman Badge, 70.3 Badge, Runner Badge, CycloCross Badge, Roadie Badge, Hibernating Badge, PainCave Badge

Race Options: IMFL, IMUSA, etc.

Power:  100Watt Club, 200Watt Club, 300Watt Club, 

Family:  Kids badge, Dog badge, Cat badge

    Love the options...great ideas! Here's what I want: I would like a check box on all items that come in under Not Read and have the ability to selectively check them and shift to read. Right now it's leave them all in Not Read or mark them all read. The all or nothing sucks when I'm behind and have six pages to go through. There might be just a dozen I want to keep until I have time to read them all. This may be low on the to-do list but please consider it. Thanks.

    Paul, please don't hijack this thread with requests for unrelated features. Thanks.

    I think there should be a special magnifying glass badge for being able to find ANY old thread based on a word or concept. Of course, only Nemo would actually GET the badge, but...

    There could be badges for the winners of the various challenges. Clicking on the badge should link to the challenge results thread. (I've been thinking about the Winter Run Challenge lately!)

    I think there should be a DCSWYF badge - the coaches can pin one on a member who does something that embodies the "Doing cool shit with your fitness" theme.

    A recruiter badge - with a 1 when you've recruited 1 member, a 5 when you've recruited 5, etc.

    A pain in the ass badge for wise guys who hang around but never seem to ACTUALLY do any triathlons anymore image

    Coach P - I like the ideas and look forward to having them implemented, that will add a little fun and some 'motivation' to get that cool badge. A few other suggestions -  

    Pass the shuffle > 100 / 200 / 300 / etc >  # of runners you passed after mile 18

    Work works > 10 / 20 / 30 / etc > % increase in FTP from the start of OS to the end of OS

    Chariots of Fire > 1 / 2 / 3 / etc > increase in VDOT from start of OS to the end of OS

    Just to name a few

    Thinking about ones I might qualify for:

    IR - Injured reserve

    And for us LTBP (Less than bulky people), a W/KG  alternative to the pure watts badge.

    OF (Old folks, Over fifty, old fogey, old f--t)

    Nasty weather training: running on ice, riding on snow, swimming at St. George, thirty days in a row outside in under 30F temp, etc

    I like the percent increase in W/Kg and VDOT ideas, especially.
