Also Thank You to All of the DG members who take the time to help total strangers on their rise to success !!! On every Journey its nice to have Company !!!

Sidney

on those badges! I LOVE getting them too. They are incentives - like little goals within bigger goals. I want that diamond and am working towards it. Good for you! Keep up the good work:o)

Penny

ps I am originally from Pittsburgh. Go Steelers!

....Congratulations to all that have received or will receive a DG Badge. You should be proud of yourself and your effort! I really enjoy the DG Badges as well. They always made me feel special whenever I received one. I often believe as we help people in life, it is nice to be doing the right thing to make the world a better place. As we all are trying to be the best we can at real estate investing, it is nice to know there are so many other members out there willing to help offer insight and inspiration.

You are all making a difference in your life and in many other member's lives. I remember when we first got started in real estate investing, the DG website family was there every step of the way! The DG website made bad days better! When other told me it couldn't be done the DG family was right there telling me it can be done! Thank you to all the DG members that helped us and will continue to help others keep going! You deserve a badge for helping others be all they can be! Good luck to everyone on their future real estate deals! Believe and Achieve! - Joe

I remember early on how in awe I was of the people who had the medals, the wings, the pot of gold and the gold medallion. Now I can't believe that I'm in that spot! Last but not least is that elusive diamond! B)

Vincent

Thanks and much success for you now and in the Future ! GO STEELERS !!!

I had some badges but now they are gone. What is up with that?

Yesterday they were gone but know they are back. Oh well at least they are back

I just HAVE to say thank you to SuperBee for resurrecting this thread! I just had the best time reading/laughing through these posts! HA!

Tammy ... Helpful member award! I second that motion and truly you should get that one! Oh, and those emoticons. You should get a smiley face badge for those and teach the rest of us how to do that.

Sherri ... For those academy members who stay the course, make the 5 deals and get their tuition back ... "big-ass sparkly number 5" award! I love it! I second that motion too Oh, and that steroid test comment - laugh out loud funny! I am still smiling!

Vincent ... Good Luck with that elusive diamond, and soon! Right?

Angela

Yeah, it's a new reality t.v. show here on dg.com --- some unsuspecting site participant will secretly get their profile hijacked for a week and then BAM! - their new profile with all the new "badge bling" will be revealed!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You're welcome. Thanks for posting this thread in the 1st place. I really had no idea it would take such a turn. The crazies have come out!

now I have the bronze, silver and gold medals...plus the diamond! Now don't get me wrong. This is a wonderful thing. I have made it known on this forum that the diamond is what I'm working towards when I do my first deal.
The thing is, I haven't done that deal yet. When I first saw it, I thought I was dreaming. I have obviously received it by mistake. Badge angel - please take my diamond back. Although I love having it, I want to earn it. Thank you very much!

ps If I have somehow, in some way earned it, please let me know what it is that I did. Thanks badge angel.

Gee, maybe it's a Cubic Zirconia ?????

~ Sherri

funny Sherri! It looks like the real deal to me:o)

This forum is very funny. I also think it would be cool to have a set 4 life badge.

Love that idea!

I got a silver one. I can't believe it. I'm stunned in fact. Is there some sort of mistake?

Awarding badges to us ... unbeknownst to us ... for reasons we know not why !!!

Don't look a badge hobbit in the mouth !!!

I noticed I just received a Bronze badge--Great!
I hope to earn a lot more of them so onward I go!!!

Apparently, there needs to be a badge just for filling out the PROFILE PAGE ...

And then maybe more people here would stop lurking in the shadows and take 5 minutes

to make themselves more approachable to others on this site who might have something

in common with them ...

I graciously accept. Thank you.

Thank you from me too! I got so excited when I saw my new set of wings-love them!!
don't know what I did to deserve them, but made me very happy to see them!
Valerie

WALT

Valerie,

Red Bull gave them to you!

Vincent

Who says you are a Member or Site Participant.

Steve

That's a good point, too, Steve. I've wondered where that distinction comes in.

Vincent

OK. Now we understand!

(Not really, but it doesn't matter.)

We are contributing. That's what is important.

Jim and Alice

P.S. We did like that silver badge!

solely depends upon how long you've been here or how many posts you've done I believe.

Can't wait to get my spectacular diamond badge. A girl's best friend you know! I'm VERY close. I can taste it! (ahhemm.. Not that I'd eat a diamond, but you know what I mean ... well, maybe if it was chocolate covered, but I wouldn't dare to bite it; it'd bite back! )

I was wondering how you get the badges to but I will get one when i do something for it way i see it.
Thanks

Just checking in to see what new and interesting "badge" conversation was happening ...

Good luck Tam, on being near the DIAMOND mark !

This is such a funny stream of posts, I laughed so hard reading it. There are so many good ideas here for new badges. Google has a contest to design Google titles in great art, maybe admin should have badge contests - then all of these ideas could become official.

Two badges appeared recently for me and I was so proud and grateful. I had badge envy before getting my own. I think that they equate to those generals and admirals that have all their hardware on their jackets. I have no idea what those mean either but they look very important just like our badges.

More badges please DG admin. And I also vote Tammy a helpful one and a diamond. All reality TV shows like dance shows get half their votes from viewers....

Thanks
Judi
