I miss my badges too, we work our tails off to get them and poof gone in the wind.
I also don't want a million emails every time I touch the keyboard. There's no room left for really important non-chicken emails. I mean I don't need an email as proof that I answered a new member or ??
But it crowds out other stuff like LLBean or Lands end having a big one day sale, or Zazzle having 50% off my favorite items. Or the grocery store ad showing my favorite ice cream brand on sale..
BYC is FOREVER, I hope. Not so for retail establishments.
Also miss my favorite smilies, the bouncing chick, the blue thing pounding fist, shooting mouth off, etc.
It is sooooo great though, when I catch up with the usual great crowd, I hope everyone finds their way back.
PS do we still get to nominate members for awards when there are NO badges.
One more thing and I will

. Any word on Rachel?
