It's my care cup, and it's empty.
How are we misleading people? The badge is representation of absolutely nothing other than a VALID license. The badges are hardly showing themselves as the *only multiboxing* options. I don't think brand new people that come here looking for information are going to look at someone's post, see a KeyClone badge and suddenly "Oh wow, KeyClone, I MUST buy that since OBVIOUSLY that is the only thing since there is not a badge on this user for any other product." I think you're basis on this is not valid for a new user.
I get asked *constantly* what I use. The badges are a method for people to easily recognize what I'm using and give users a sense of what kind of issues I could help them with. As in, I can answer KeyClone and IS questions, but I'm probably not going to be too hot on HKN.
If people want to cry about every little thing, please go back to the wow forums where you'll be much more at home.
Once more, for the record, and for the cheap seats...
This was *my* idea. I went to Lax and asked him if any sites were using it, and if he planned to leave his end of the functionality in place. He said his end was no issue so I developed what was needed on the dual-boxing.com side. I talked to Rob about doing some kind of similar method to allow me to verify users. A couple days later Rob sent me a method to validate KeyClone users. A month later (due to my own work issues getting in the way) I finished up what we needed on this end for KeyClone support. If you look at my OP, Zanthor beat me to the punch announcing it for IS. I didn't want to say anything until I had support for KC as well. But oh well, it's fine. This is not paid advertising, Rob and Lax are not slipping me $50's under the table for this. Ellay's seen what I was doing, and he thought it was a pretty cool idea.
So back off the conspiracy theories and the QQ. There is no place here for that crap. In Zanthor's post, and my OP here, I extended the invitation for any developer that wants to support this. My only conditions are that the badge actually represent something (IE Valid License), Limit to 2 badges per person, and give me a method to verify forum users -> their software users.
