Achievement Badges are not automated?

According to the Badge Descriptions, the G2G6 Badge is awarded to those who have more than 6000 points in the G2G Forum. I had assumed that this as well as other badges would be automatically assigned when the requisite benchmark is reached...but I'm guessing this is not the case since I am quickly approaching 8k....I guess my assumption was incorrect. This seems like a lot of work to keep up with, especially as we approach 13 BILLION profiles. (ok so I exaggerated) It seems like this would be along the lines of 'things that could easily be automated'...no? -P Rich

HI Phillip,

The G2G6 badge is one of the few achievement badges not an automated one.  I check G2G contributors about once a week (usually Saturdays) to see who has passed the 6000 mark and award the badges then.  But I just awarded you yours now :)

Thanks for contributing!

You get Best Answer because you Are the best at G2G ;-)
But it still seems an onerous task as our numbers multiply...why not automated?
THANK YOU for all you do for G2G!!!

Aw, you're so nice!

Someday maybe we'll automate it, it's really not that bad right now.  There's just a few each week.  If you click the "Contributors" tab at the top of the G2G you can check it out.  There aren't hundreds of people surpassing 6000 every week :)
Congratulations to you as well!
