Badges are cool little awards you earn by participating in the community. Each badge carries a set number of points. Get your chat on, start or join a crew, or even write an opinion piece to earn some points and impress your peers.
As you accumulate points through the badge system, you’ll be eligible to earn Achievements. Achievements will eventually give you the opportunity to earn awards, member discounts, VIP web site privileges and ultimately peer recognition.
