With the implementation of "Badges", do you think there will be more activity on the discussion threads? 2013-12-12T19:10:21-05:00 SFC Josh Watson 19654 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>With the new badge feature, will there be more stimulating conversation or will it become a venue for mindless gibberish that people will use to increase their influence score?  Remember the purpose of RP is to broaden your network and seek advice; it's not a "top score" video game.  If that's what you want, go crush candy or save pets on facebook.

I judge people on forums more by their message than their "bling."
