"How the hell did I get this badge?"

Now is the best opportunity to say "look at my red badge".

No! NO! I refuse to press that horror of a button! No more! Once is enough!

I think he was referring to the "forum inferno" badge.
To which I say, "Bah!"

Aaaah right.

In that case, my reply would be: Landmark badge. Look at the glory and cower before me!

Edit: Also, Long-time listener, first-time caller badge. Muahaha!

Huh, you know, I have the a similar issue; I have a badge called 'Sparkle': "There are some things you love to hate."

to this day I still can't figure out how I got it.

It's most likely just random people looking at your old threads. The really difficult one is Forum Inferno or something, with the black background. I forget how many that is, but it's ridiculous.

It's 100000, so unless you make "thread of the year" or a hit Forum Game/RP then it's not easy to get...

It's even harder than that. I had the Holiday Council thread a long time ago, it only made it to 10,000. Despite being a site-wide fad. To the point where even the logo got changed... I used to be famous >.>

I helped you get that, so you owe me...something. XD

OT: The same badge as yours actually, OP. Got it one day and I have no idea where from, despite looking up all my old threads at the time.

Do they not sleep!?!

Sort of. I just hibernate at certain times of the year for a month or so. This year I picked July. Wonderfully warm and snuggly in my box, I was.

EDIT: Oh, and also the "Maven" badge, for reading (And may be replying to, not sure.) PMs from 100 users here. I don't remember PMing 100 people, nor then replying to 100 people.

I have a similar one, it says CANDY CANDY CANDY or something like that...no idea where I got it.

That came from the Halloween 2010 event, you probably forgot clicking something to get it.

Anyway, one of your threads somewhere must have accumulated the views along the way OP. Either that or the internet faeries gave you it for being extra good this year.

That thread might answer any questions you have.

TL;DR: You voted correctly in the "Things you Hate" poll, and you were given an Edward Cullen badge.

...yay?

Just check what threads you posted and look for one with over 10,000 views. I got mine a while ago. Same thread at this moment now has 39,000 views. Still a long way to go. It is a forum game though... What I find funny though is that because a few people have bookmarked it, when it got sunk at least maybe 5 people have kept using it for at least 4 months and maybe 3,000 of the posts in the thread are from that time period.

Simple. You made a thread (albeit a while ago) and people have subesequently viewed it in the meantime. That's all there is to it.

But explain how I have FIVE of them?

Check here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.282858-The-Escapist-Forum-Badge-Gallery-Badges-534-Version-II#11103868]

There are 13 in total.

Happens all the time, especially when the Badges don't have a description of how they are achieved.
I mean seriously I have a badge called Towel....The Fuck?

That was a Christmas badge I think....

Check the gallery I linked for the other guy

Sup Escapists!

So, relatively recently I unexpectedly got my hands on the "On fire" badge; a rather difficult badge to get, this is rewarded to a user if they gain over 10,000 views on a thread that they have made.

The only problem is that I haven't made any threads recently... let alone a thread that would warrant 10,000 views. So I'm not entirely sure how I got the badge.

So, does anyone know how to check where I got the badge? I know that there are a lot of people who wander "where did I get ______ badge from?" as well, so if anyone else has a similar question, feel free to put your enquiry as a comment, and who knows, maybe someone will answer

Thanks for any help y'all can give!

Have a juggling video for your troubles (since I'm the 'Resident Juggler', its kinda my thing to add a juggling video to my threads :3)

Dude nice video!
