Badges off today, updates inbound.

Badges are not going to run in full today. We are doing a bit of table maintenance in the DB, and I need to test a small change to the badge code.

We are taking this opportunity to roll out a new collection and a new genre. The collection is "The Great Outdoors" and the genre is "Top Gun". What won't be included in this update, is any updates to current genres. There are some steps into streamlining that, so expect a possible update to that in about 3 weeks.

Thanks for everyone's patience on the badge updates, discussion/feedback as always is recommended.

Update 06-10-2009 08:40AM EST: Sorry for the delay in the blogs yesterday, didn't realize table maintenance would slow them down so much.  On track to get badges back up and running today.
