Hope you like the Purpleness ;p Love your Forum Modi Council

Purple Edition 2012

Hey everyone!

Today is a day for exciting news!

We released our new badge feature today!

Your Modi Master Pharwynd, along with Modi Harajuku,

have been working very hard to create some amazing

badges for the Artifex community!

To find the badges, check out your profiles! That is where

they will be displayed as you earn them. Badges can be

earned in many different ways. In order to begin

accumulating these exciting badges, start posting and

attend as many of the Artifex events as possible! We

would like to see as many people participate as possible.

I’m sure we can all agree that it just isn’t as fun with only

a few people. So get out there and play some games,

post comments and complete challenges!
