The whole idea behind the Hello Name Badge icon is to promote two things.
1. to encourage members who haven't met anyone on here to make themselves available so since many others have done it.
2. to show that many of us actually know each other now in real life which enhances our site and makes our site VERY different from all the other sites.
Since we actually know each other it makes it hard for someone to get on here and start flaming. This site has taken my interest in the 71-73 mustang and turned it into several good friendships.
So if you don't have a Hello badge and you have met other members let me or another staff member know and tell how many other members you have met so you'll receive the correct badge. Also if you switch from one category to the next let me know that as well and it'll be swapped out.
Here are the categories:
Met 1 - 4 other forum members in person.
Met 5 - 9 other forum members in person.
Met 10 - 14 other forum members in person.
Met 15 - 19 other forum members in person.
Met 20 - 29 other forum members in person.
Met 30 - 39 other forum members in person.
