As the current badge leader, it's my responsibility to know these things.

loose - 1. not firmly or tightly fixed in place; detached or able to be detached
2. (of a garment) not fitting tightly or closely

lose - 1. be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something).
2. become unable to find (something or someone).


smh......

So no one really lost any badges and now one could have got those badges anyway so I think we all good here.

No, I obviously had them because I logged in. No one would have them unless they were earned at the time.
It's clear I'm not worried about my badge total, I just thought I'd bring it up.

I guess if your not worried about it, neither will I. Sorry you lost the badges.

I hope this is not a standard thing going forward or I'm done, I don't care about badge if that's how Eric is going to handle it (as I've made very clear in the numerous times people have asked for the 360v style badges). Fsh can pass me now then, I honestly don't give a shit. I'm not going to play a game (or metagame) where people change the existing rules as we go along. Those three badges should have stayed there, what problem was being solved by taking them away?

I suppose an argument could be made that if someone like me were actually trying to collect badges, I would have an advantage over you because I have some that you can't obtain.
Really, it just depends how competitive you think they actually are. I doubt Eric intended anything beyond something fun to strive for on a personal level, but perhaps it can be seen as unfair if comparing to one another.
