Question

It was my second time to get 100 views in a question, but it took me like 5 minutes for it the first time, but the second time it was already been around 4 hours and I have not still got it, is it normal?

Answer 2

It takes a 100 views to get a popular question badge - currently this question is at 5 views, so it may take a while . . . To put it in perspective there have been 21 popular question badges awarded in the last 24 hours and 124,206 all time at the time I write this. Well known names on the site such as: Ray, Ian, Katydew, Rac1 who have regular Q & A features regularly earn popular question badges within hours of their posts...

I think he's talking about a thread he started earlier: My New Game. It does have more than 100 views. - AnnRon, Jun 7, 2014

Thanks Ann - your comment may also help him speed up the process. . . - Esteban_317, Jun 7, 2014

I see his game post does have 100 + views... so eventually the Badge will be awarded. - Esteban_317, Jun 7, 2014

Answer 3

I am not understanding this question , can I ask firstly , what is a popular question?

Is it , as I am led to believe a question that is acceptable to the majority of the

populace , if that can be answered in the affirmative , then I can affirm that it is

quite irrefutably incorrect , because very few of my questions have been overtly

in the arterial modular of even the minor hoi poloi of the average populace.

Furthermore to infer a 'badge' of any worth can be bestowed upon some hitherto

unknown , unloved and mayhap hapless soul of questionable character will

upon receiving such badge of dubious honour can immediately attain the stature

of a Demi God; I say no sir , defiantly not sir, Caste your minds back to the great Napoleon he of whom the gods loved above all others , until he assumed the mantle

of the ' Emperor ' of all that he surveyed , yet from this moment of his sublime and

and inexorable orgiastic culmination of emotion the forces that drove his life were in the wane . so in conclusion we , and dare I say I am in the opinion , nay the extenuating

undeniably aggravating conservative belief that a popular question is not worth a

Tinkers cuss,. Taman Shud !
