Well its a pretty simple idea, the admin's can give their users badges. Depending on how many the admin's want, they could be displayed beneath there username on the side of their posts. Perhaps for winning a contest, logging on during a holiday, being a beta tester or just being helpful around the forums you can earn badges. We could display them in our profiles in a separate tab all of which we have collected. In the admin panel there could be a thing where it gives you a date and time, and everyone who either signs up by or logs in by gets the badge, or you could just give one to a specific user. What do you guys think. Here is an example.

*Do not confuse with rank* This idea doesn't require post count.


Thats just an example. When you click on the badge, it will take you to a page with information on why it was given out, and a little of who has the badge. The admin could customize and make badges to their liking.
