Do these glasses change to pink?

Time to log on RS and see I think!

Edit: aww, not as pink as I'd like.

Don't feel obliged to use it, but it's there just in case

Aww you don't need to wait for the right time to ask. But if you want something like that for the forums it puts me in a position I'd like to avoid.

You see I could say yes to some people but not to all (I don't like that). Badges are hard coded into linkify so there's a limit as to how much I can do and maintain. It means I have to update linkify every time someone wants a badge, or wanted to change badge, or changes name.

When I had god badges, they were different in that they worked from the custom avatar code. The first digit of the code represented the badge. I had just enough digits to cover the gods for the world events. I have been meaning to bring back god badges, just haven't got around to it.

By now I figure you know where is going. I just don't like to say a flat "no" without giving my reason. There is no harm in asking and if I could do it in a fair way for all I'm still not sure if I'd be keen (I have got other reasons) , but I'd consider it.

I do have more to say (that might be good news on the subject) that I'll go into later, as I'm remaining non committal atm
Hehe ­<3 thank you for the serious reply Indy Well, yes, I am a huge gears fan and that would make me smile for months (months!) if I got a gears badge to match the intentions of my root name "Body"... but I've never asked or expected it from you because of the awkward and unfair position it would put you in.

I completely understand your POV on it, and that's why I've just shut up about it until I guess my joke-post last night Your concerns about it are fairness, a heavier work-load on you/Linkify limitations, and I'm sure some personal opinions you have that badges might get out of hand or are just unnecessary (maybe?). Those are all very valid and that's why I won't lose a moment of sleep over it

As far as things in the future, well I'm always

super

excited to see new Linkify features in any capacity and I understand your non-committal approach to updates. You wouldn't want to let us down (but I think the Linkify family is very understanding of what you can and can't offer ).

(suggestion)
I just randomly thought of something related to badges actually, I don't suppose you could make several pre-made badges in addition to the god badges? I think you said in your last post you had a limit to the number of badges like that you could make? Ah well, that's ok. Although if more pre-made badges are possible, maybe a fair way to add more would be to randomly pick 10 badge suggestions from users out of maybe 50 suggestions I could imagine you getting.

That way they're pre-made and no permanent commitment.. sorry! I'll stop rambling, lol. As always, no pressure and I ­<3 linkify ty (:

edit: Lol hey Rowley, nice shades

Thanks for your understanding Body Duo,

As I said before it doesn't hurt to ask, the worst that can happen is....nothing!

Not sure about adding a bigger selection of badges, it would mean doing it differently since the method I used can't take any more. I really only did it because of the world events and that worked out nicely.

All I can say is right now is they aren't a big priority, and it could be a while before I even look into them. However if I do anything I'd rather they be RuneScape or RS Linkify related. We have custom titles and avatars without any restrictions (within reason) and I think that provides a good level of customisation and freedom.

Badges (on most forums) are generally awarded for a reason. I do like that type of system and I'd rather go in that direction. But rather than make it a competitive thing where they are earned. I'd like to use them for prizes for forum events/competitions or something similar. That's just one of many ideas I've had in my head for a while, but I haven't done anything with it as yet as I'm not sure how much interest there would be.

I'm glad you raised the subject, because it's not something I've gone into detail about and this sort of discussion helps to generate new ideas. Or at the very least, keeps everyone up to date on what I have in mind

I always feel any suggestion I think up is self-centered, because I want it, lol. This last suggestion may very well be :c...

If not random badges (like gears), than more RS related badges (in addition to god badges) would be a very happy compromise to my suggestion. BUT, I know you said it's not a priority of yours and I can respect that. Thanks for the reply!

P.s. (bad news about my Florida trip .. I'll post on the vacation thread)
