Introducing the first Lions247 badge

  • With members of other sites having site-specific badges, we felt it was time for Lions247 members to have their own badge.

    After tossing around some ideas with members who reached out to us about badges and discussing what we could use in terms of images and photos without violating any copyrights or trademarks, we came up with the perfect badge for the most loyal and active users on Lions247. With the events over the last week, we also felt it was the perfect time to introduce it too.

    It’s called the 409 badge in honor of Joe Paterno’s 409 wins as head coach. We realize Penn State is bigger than one man, but we also felt it was a great way to pay homage to the legendary head coach while recognizing those who have played and will play a huge part in building Lions247 and this community.

    So here’s how you earn one.

    1. You must be a VIP member and have been a registered user on this site for at least 409 days.

    2. You must have at least 409 posts.

    Thirty-seven Lions247 members have earned the 409 badge to this point and I’ll be adding it to their user profile.

    I have created a spreadsheet with everyone’s registration/eligibility date and I’ll be checking it every few days to see if more people qualify.

    As we move forward, when you hit 409 posts and you think you have been on the site for 409 days, please reach out to me via e-mail or PM to add the badge in case I miss it. The process is not automated yet so I have to manually add badges to each profile. Also if you think you are already eligible and are not on the initial list, reach out to me and I'll add it.

    We hope you all enjoy this and take pride in being a member of the 409 club.

    Here’s the list of current club members.

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.
