I think I’ll keep the current badge for now at least until I can get the other one.

I’m sorry, but there is no way to change sides now.

Yes you can get a custom badge by donating to the site, but I’ve never heard of someone donating to get an event or achievement badge. That would be like someone donating to get a Community Collaboration badge, or thinking they could donate and get one of the Artist or Uploader achievement badges. Those aren’t “pay to win”.

If I could have paid to get the Gabby helper badge from the first collab event, I’d-a done that years ago. Tears in the rain, friend.

Right? I’d ask for a “From The Night”. Solid bars of gold if that were possible, man. Solid bars of gold.

Isn’t that the one where you just had to be a banmonkey who later got put on the throne? Seems perilously easy for a current mod to get with the help of some gin and a slobbery apology after the fact.

Uhm … oh, wait - yeah, that is that badge. I was thinking of the one where you were here the first month after the death of PonyBooru. “The End Was Not The End” or something like that? It’s not even in the system any more. Like, even if someone wanted or somehow magically earned that badge, a dev would have to ram it into the database by hand.

Honestly, I think the only reason that I didn’t get the “From The Night” badge is because when staff asked me to back down I did. Also the plausibly ban-worthy shit I was doing tended to be at least plausibly “funny” (except for those massively triggered by a proximate cause of April Fool, in toto) and was almost entirely related to role playing during April Fools events. Just your normal, healthy case of non-insane automatism. I plead “not giving a fuck” but immediately changed my behavior and was summiarily offered a slot on staff, including the fully featured brain chip.
Thus the chronic alcoholism.

The End Was Not The End
Yeah, that one’s a hen’s tooth; two week window of opportunity and nobody even knew that would count until years after the fact.

IIRC Derpibooru Premium (the real one, not the 2016 April Fools joke) badge could be obtained only if you uploaded a Trixie image during one specific week back in May 2015, and this was not advertised anywhere in any way. It was TSP’s special badge or something like that. A true hidden achievement.

Or so says a faint voice in the back of my head. I spent 20 minutes searching comments and posts to find support for this and I found only one post from Joey.
If I’m not imagining this, then Derpibooru Premium is probably the hardest and most impossible non-unique badge to obtain. And of course Badumsquish has it.

IIRC Derpibooru Premium
And also my favorite badge of all time. Except the other ones. And, no, I can neither confirm nor deny your suspicions. Trixie remains, as always, indefatigable and surrounded by myth and illusions. Woooooo - so mysterious.
I can though confirm that it is no longer available in the system. It was a once-and-gone badge.

extra fun at parties
Bendy Pony or whatever it’s called is also super exclusive. If my suspicions are correct the requirements are:
- draw and upload a nice picture of that one specific pony (Blossomworth?) being unusually flexible
- if it comes to the attention of the singular user who “owns” that badge, and happens to please them, they’ll give you the badge
- you had to achieve this when that user was on staff and had the power to give the badge, nowadays your picture has to be so devastatingly amazing (and personally appealing to that person, to boot), that they’ll be prompted to ask a current staff member to award the badge on their behalf
- no guarantee that person is still active on site tho.

I wasn’t here back then, but I always wondered about this one. :)
Too bad it’s a rarity now :(

Only 20 users have the Flexible badge. It was last awarded in January 2019 to Bigshot232.

Artistic Detective is another example of that kind of badge. It’s actually my badge I got as a donor. I give to others who are especially helpful searching for info on artists, or fixing tagging for artists. The criteria is me thinking “Wow, that thing you did (or more often a thing you continually do) to help research that artist was really helpful. Thank you!”

I’d like it to become more of a normal badge before I die or fall off the ride, but it’s not the kind of thing that shows up as a number in the user interface.
I think the “Speaking Fancy” badge is kind of in the same boat. The criteria for it is hard to quantify, beyond being really helpful.

Can a mod please check the 2023 collab thread? Some still haven’t obtained their badges yet.

I’m sure they will soon. Probably just been busy :D
The OC description thread still has a few of mine needing to be done amongst others, but I’ll be patient :3

Just out of curiosity, do I qualify for the Notoriously Divine Tagger badge yet?
PuffyDearlySmith for metadata badges?

The metadata one wouldn’t be until around 3,000, but I think you should have the tagger one. Someone would have to check though :)

I still don’t understand how to get Notoriously Divine Tagger and Speaking Fancy badges.

Divine Tagger I’d for uploading images that contain a high amount of useful/detailed tags

Speaking Fancy is for helping translate images from one language to another (like translating an image with Spanish text to English)

About speaking fancy, how many images that will make us qualified for this badge?
