What are these badges?
 

I've been notified of some badges received, like little children's gaming tokens when they play games online. Some kind of trophy for participating? But there's an entire section of Veteran badges that are locked, and instructions to contact someone for info. But it leads to nowhere and feels really patronizing and out of place, nobody to contact. Like... is this unlocking some kind of achievement award on S2KI now for being a veteran? ...ick

Can some one help make all of this make sense? The more changes happening the more unusable the site is and confusing it's becoming. Changes are made with no info or explanation as they roll out. With no instructions what exactly is the desired outcome of these changes? Who exactly is being catered here? What are all these nonsense changes for and does anyone see how traffic keeps going down as a result?

blah

:shrug: Wish I had answers for you but it was a surprise to me as well.

There's an announcement at the top of the page about them - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums - Announcements in Forum : Site Info

No idea how the badges are negatively affecting the usability of the site for you. Traffic is up on the site, so :shrug:
