Two New Participation Badges!

[CT]

I've got some new participation badges that can be earned for your signature.

The Dark Knight Rises badge. Earn this badge by posting in The Dark Knight Rises Thread. No, you don't have to have seen it, or vote in the poll, you just have to post something, anything. You could say "Batman is a bitch" and earn the badge. This badge expires on August 31st 2012.

Collector badge. This badge is earned by posting a picture of your home video collection in the Show Us Your DVD/Blu Ray Collection Thread. VHS is also acceptable. This badge is retroactive so if you have already posted a picture, you automatically recieve it. This badge does not expire, so whenever you get around to posting a picture you can earn it.

Cool ideas, man. Wholly approve of these new ones.

I wholeheartedly embrace the Collector badge, but I question the Dark Night Rises badge just a little. Why that movie in particular? Are we going to set a precedent where we can get badges for posting about any anticipated or well liked movie? That could be an awful lot of badges. On the other hand, that Batman badge does look pretty sweet.

Fair point. I just figured its a highly anticipated movie that a lot of people will want to talk about so participation will be at a high level. And yes my own bias played a role as I'm excited for it. A horror film would have been more appropriate but a lot of people here don't post about horror new releases until they come out on DVD or show up on cable so participation would have been pretty low. I wanted 1 badge that's easy to earn (this one) and one that's harder to earn and less people will attain (the collector's badge). There will only be one more badge this year and it will be in honor of Halloween (the holiday not the film) so I won't let it get out of control. And any future badges for films will be for horror films (and they will be few and far between), so it doesn't get too off topic.

Sounds good, brother
