I can only hope one day my chain is unreasonably large enough and my cap is twisted far enough to the side to join The Runners. Alas, That time has not yet come. I weep for my Thug free life.

What the hells going on here? Maybe they just need to take the runners page down altogether to reduce confusion.

Yeah I'm going to try to deal with the Runners confusion soon.

Basically, the "Runners" is going to be a thing that exists solely for fan-made content, and Operations will be run out of the LRR blog.

I'm not a runner. Though I can run.

This gives me an idea:

I've got runs but I'm not a runner.
I've got runs but I'm not a runner.
I've got runs but I'm not a runner.

Sing along!

We're probably getting rid of the Runners badges soon. There isn't really any reason to divide the fanbase that way, since it's already divided enough between the general audience (at the Escapist) and the people who come here and chat on the forums.

To our eyes, everyone on the forums is a Runner.

But... I was feeling special!

---

In all seriousness, rather than get rid of them altogether, just keep giving them out for various participation, but let the Runners forum be open to all.

Just so there's a recognition to people joining in operations.

I think there are better ways to show recognition, and in the future I hope to be a bit better about recognizing people for their participation, probably through blog posts, etc.

Soooo, just epic post numbers? Or is there anything else to get badges?

Also Tim you gotta remember that nerds, like any other group in society loves to have their crap achievements celebrated. Jocks get trophies, Nerds get Gamer Scores and Online Badges!
