Do you think there is a need for more than sapphire badge of the projects? those 2years of computer time seems less & less...as the motherboards become more & more with dual-CPU, quad-CPUs...as the CPUs become more & more dual-cores, quad-cores, six-cores, eight-cores...as the GPU become dual-core / dual-CPUs...
----------------------------------------So in the same amount of time, all of us are able to compute more than 1WU! Even my example is not much, but on FightAIDS project right now is 7years of CPU time listed...of the current projects only MCM project is without sapphire badge... maybe there it's time to think about more than 2years of CPU time for some project? here is current standing: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewSearch.do?searchString=badge here is my sugestion: Bronze - 14 days Silver - 45 days Gold - 90 days Platinum - 180 days Pearl - 1 year Ruby - 2 years Emerald - 5 years Sapphire - 10 years Diamond - 20 years From my point of view - that would speed up the expansion of the WCG & begin another "race for the badges"! What do you think? ;) ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by KLiK at Apr 17, 2014 10:08:15 AM] |

I like the idea to have additional badges beyond 2 yrs. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to change the name/colors of the badges. All threads with badge achievements would be worthless or missleading e.g. when the old sapphire becomes ruby.

Hi guys !
----------------------------------------great see your participation and ideas here. For many time now, I don't put updates on this tread once don't have enough time to investigate more deep the stats and badges of universe of crunchers. There are many thread discussions about badges and its evolution on WCG in the last years. I agree wit Eric about don't change the actual status of badges, and just create more. In fact, from times to times, WCG staff do it. I think that we are on de edge about it, in this badge subject, and there are a lot of valid reasons to see more badges in greater contributions times. So its seems that's a question of time and availability of WCG staff to put it in place. Thank you for your contribution and ideas. Have a nice day. ![]() ![]() ![]()

There is also a thread here in the Suggestion/Feedback forum where this subject SHOULD be. Here in the Chat Forum it will be looked upon as a 'non event' not worth looking at!
