Until the real thing comes along (if ever) post virtual badge(s) here. To add more quote your last entry to keep them all together.

Nice idea, but what colours and gems would represent the various levels above 2 years and which levels?
----------------------------------------4 Years = 6 Years = (or would this be excluded?) 8 Years = 16... Of would it go Current 2 Years Sapphire (Blue) 5 Years = 10 Years = 20... Where or at what level do you have the additional badges? Any suggestions?

Virtual Badge color would unnecessary or up to the poster.
----------------------------------------The Virtual Badge would be what ever one wants. Pretty much as you mentioned above (whole years only). Something in the form of UserFrendlyID-VB-#years (HCC-VB-5 or HCC-VB5) |

Yep, I like that
----------------------------------------So my next goal on HCC is 3 years, it would look like this then? Mamajuanauk reached VB3 on HCC today Or similar as you said? Does anyone else have any comments?

Or they could just keep posting in each of the current badge forums like most currently do.

I would suggest 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 years badges. As for being "virtual", I would also suggest that they be a full blown badges (forget the virtual part) for example:
----------------------------------------5 yr = turquoise 10 yr = Diamond 20 yr = Jade 50 yr = Onyx 100 yr = Topaz 200 yr = Pearl ... or something like the above. CJSL Crunching for a better world... |

Real badges are based on run time. But as the first GPU project has shown, GPUs do much more work per run time hour. So how about virtual badges based on actual work done?
