New awards badges now appearing on your profile

Hi everyone,
So all of this time I had been sitting on a feature that displays badges based on specific actions or activities on the forum. Thankfully it was suggested to have this on the site and I was able to get it up and running today.
Right now I only have 3 different types set up:
- The old-timer badge. This for those of you who have been here more than 7 months. I'll keep moving this as time goes on so it identifies the original group of users here.
- How many posts you have badge. You'll see the number of stars increase as you pass certain thresholds. After 1000 posts you get the 5 stars!
- Open Road Donor. For those who have graciously contributed to the operation of this site, first a big THANK YOU. This badge identifies you as one of the valued members. Note that I had to identify all contributors manually so if I missed you, please let me know and I'll add it to your profile. Also if you would rather not have this display on your profile, I can remove it as well.
Please provide suggestions for other criteria we can use for badges. It would be fun to think of others that we can use to show how we're all helping keep this place going for all to enjoy.
Note - there's not enough room to display these in mobile so you'll only see them in desktop and when using the Flatboots theme. For those who are still using Elegance, please consider Flatboots now as I've increased the font size and it should be easier to read. There's a lot of additional functionality I can't add to the old theme because it's based on a completely different architecture.
Thanks again everyone!
