And here I got the badge today for 365 consecutive days…
Guess I missed January 1st last year.

Do you get that repeatedly? I assumed that you didn’t get notified year-over-year once you got it and kept it. Huh, TIL.

Also, does anyone know what the difference between “likes” and “score” is?

This is the first time I’ve gotten it… surprisingly.

“discourse score” represents a more holistic measure of a post’s engagement and impact within a discussion, taking into account not only likes but also factors like views, replies, and sometimes even the quality of discussion generated by the post, while “likes” simply indicate a user’s positive reaction to a post with a single click.

“I’d like to thank my smartphone and T-Mobile for an unlimited data plan and decent coverage as I traveled around this year. Without their support I wouldn’t be able to achieve placement in 6 out of 7 main categories. Truly this is the peak of my CD career and I look forward to a decline in the following years.”

Everything but most topics! It’s not visible (91 of us are guilty but it only shames 10) but I was here all 366 days at some point or another.

(Reused meme, but i don’t care)

Truth right here… Hopefully a few things on the horizon help lol. I am in a fabulous mood to start the new year. Met some very "life is about the journey " folks yesterday I hope will become some good friends. Too many people focusing overly intensely on career progression in my circles atm.

Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all year until I graduate!

.

I would like to give an honorable mention to @asha_forever and @kierajreed for the most likes given, it was a rapid decision yo try and aim for top 10 in that category in the last week of eligibility.

Also, how did I get most replied to?! Didn’t expect that :flushed:.
