Me. Although it’s the base for a GW model now. In about 2000, there was a GAME just up the road from my local GW that had all the free internet installer disks on a stand by the door, and we used to raid it for bases for big models. I think it’s under either my Orc Boar Chariot or the Orc Wyvern.

Rod-IT:

This still exists?

Beaver badge for people who have been nominated for going above and beyond

To work together, tighter with security and networking to make a better IT

Excellent. I’ll give you the badge anyway for being brave and going first, but you got these three wrong, at least in part.

Hints:

1 – You can put me down for that one if you want. I have never used AOL, but I used to collect all of the different disks that they would give away everywhere. I thought this one would be easier from people having them laying around, so this can be a freebie.

3 – This is a badge from a time back when we voted on some new mascots. Yes, the word Beaver is in there, so close on that part, but the other part seems to be from the “Above and Beyond” badge.

5 – This is a good goal statement, but the “IT Alignment” we’re looking for is from an old post that lays out several alignments and asks you to choose.

Nice. The Discobot we were looking for is the one Rod-IT mentioned, over on the new Spiceworks Playground, where this community will be moving at some point (see THIS post if you are confused). (However, you were close, and you will definitely get the badge.)

Not actually the name of the badge (“April Fool’s Day 2019 (You Need a Badger!)”), but counts.

I also love that you made the AOL disk into a base. Perfect.

I still have several still in the paper mailing sleeves.
I have the Top of the Daily Challenge Leader Board badge, three of them it seems.
I also have the Beaver badge because I voted for the new mascot back on April Fool’s Day in 2019.
Me again, I joined the site before 2019.
I drift between Chaotic Good, Chaotic Neutral, but sometimes Neutral Evil.
Me yet again with a Best Answer badge.
I always get notices from NetworkNerd about the upcoming SpiceCorps meetups.
March 27th. I’ve celebrated a few of those birthdays.
Beside’s Sean having 30 of them? Well, I missed out on this one being me. I’m stuck with August.
According to how my certificate was signed, Discobot is a Director.

I was thinking it was a Discord server bot, but others think that it is a Discourse bot. I don’t know what Discourse is, but I will go with that answer too.

I wasn’t participating for the badge - merely the sport, but I wont refuse.

You - although AOL was less popular here in the UK.
I guessed (and Bing! is wrong), but there is nothing about this badge on the badges section so I couldn’t relate it to a topic, I forgot to mention this in my replies. community.spiceworks.com/badges.
I’d have to have been privy to that I guess. Such is the challenge of a quiz.

To paraphrase an Edison quote - my replies are not wrong, they are just not what you are looking for.

He actually quoted “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Thanks for the treasure hunt.

Darn. The badge one looks like my mistake. I pull up the list of badges in different areas and I see things like this

0f06204c-3b6a-456a-b5d4-7fff8e129414-april_fools_badges.png

Which I didn’t realize were only things that I can see… based on the replies here, everyone seems to be able to see the description but not the title. Weird, and disappointing, since I thought I was being clever with the titles all these years.

Hopefully that will improve when we move over to the new community site, so everyone can see the same thing.

I could see it at community.spiceworks.com/badges, but it did take me a couple times of going through the list to find it.

I see the badge now, but it was not there when I looked - I wasn’t specifically looking for the icon either, I was searching “bea” and nothing was returning.

Thanks, though.
