I received a few inquiries on if/when the badges would be working again. For those of you that asked, you'll be happy to know that these have been recreated (apparently called trophies/banners in the new system) with the exception of the 1000 Posts badge. I can create this one, but felt that it was not really worth the effort since it already displays how many posts next to your name and people can easily see how many you have. If anyone strongly disagrees let me know.
