yup, it has been that way for a long time, recently they have updated the system and have added more possible badges you can receive.

its weird

It's like girl scouts for adults!

pathetic...

it's dumb

they are probably just trying to market to the younger audeince.

Come on your guys, there just trying to be nice!

Ya, probably just trying to spice it up a bit. Oh well, Plurk is kinda silly anyway but it keeps us all up to date on each others lives so

that's good right?

I think the badges are ok, but I'd rather have chocolate chip cookies as rewards!
