That’s weird. I’ve got 4 of them too, going back to 2018. But they were awarded in June. I joined in November. I’ve got four of them as well, although I’ve been here since well before 2018. I wonder why they were only awarded for four years back? Was Discourse established in 2018, so the badges only record from then? ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Was Discourse established in 2018, so the badges only record from then? Nope, and 1 year anniversary badges were released in 2015, based on this thread. I don’t know why it’s only 4 years that we’ve gotten badges for. WHERE ARE MY OTHER 3 BADGES??!!! Just kidding.

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > What’s next-A badge for typing with one hand? I got my night-owl badge for making 25% of posts between midnight and 04:00 a.m. (local time) in the past year. I got the “casual poster” badge for posting at least 100 posts while wearing only underwear. I got the “more casual than usual poster” badge for posting at least 25 of the above “casual” posts from a mobile device. ---
