How do you get the Fanatic badge?

How do you keep up a consecutive visit count for a hundred days straight!?

Make it the homepage of your browser(s). Then whenever you open your browser(s), you can't forget to open UnityAnswers.

Oh... That explains it, then. :/ No wonder I haven't gotten the Enthusiastic badge yet. Hmm, I wonder if making a question your homepage counts.

Oh, the pain. Also, UA needs to upgrade to SO 2.0. I want to see how many days consecutive I have as of right now. >:) Any idea if or when that's going to happen?

I have this as my homepage, however I haven't got any badge for this and I know I've been visiting 2-3 months straight every day. Not all days checking questions tho :P So I guess I'm not a real fanatic :))

(There's another badge for 50 days straight IIRC)

Yes, you're thinking of the "Enthusiast" badge, which is for 30 days straight, I believe.

Insanity, pure and simple :D

You must be right, because that's just... insane. :P

Hehehe, it's true!

Or just a dream became truth... working in your passion ;)

For what it's worth - I did it the insane way. I logged in every day for (more than o.O) 100 days, mainly to answer (far too many) questions

Haha, yes, we do. Perhaps I'll start a new account and only answer questions on it, like Eric and Mike.

Write a windows tray application. Once a day launch a browser window with Unity Answers as the URL :p

Haha, I like that. Unfortunately, as Cyclops pointed out, just visiting the site doesn't trigger the hit meter. You have to actually click on a question in order for it to register.

Hahah, that could be written too I guess. But now one needs to start weighing up is all the effort for the Fanatic badge worth it?? :p

Haha, I suppose that's true. If I knew how, I'd say it was worth it! Better than taking the time and expending the effort to manually visit the site for 100 days straight. :P

Or you could rent a server to run it. :P That would be a waste though. lol Good luck!
