I was really expecting a special badge for the holiday again this year. I joined club pogo in the summer of 2006, so I don't know if there was a July 4th special edition badge that year, but in 2007 and 2008 we had one. Anybody else miss having this badge?

Yeah, I saw that one, but there's usually a free one they have :-(

I'm surprised they didn't have one as well. That's one of the things I usually look forward to around the holidays. I'm not ready to fork over gems just for the special badge they do have, especially when they've had a free one before. It looks like there's a special edition badge coming up but it has nothing to do with the 4th or even summer. And it's one of those where you play a certain game to earn it, not win so many badges.

I like the ones where you have to get 4 badges or whatever in a time frame. I surely don't want to pay for them though!

I too am disappointed that Pogo has chosen to do away with this badge. I saw the one you have to pay for (with gems), but it's not the same. I don't think it's correct that pogo wants people to pay for our patriotism. There should have been a free one as well as a premium one. A lot has changed as pogo has become bigger. I remember when birthday greeting were sent out, and that's another thing that has been eliminated.

I'm still fairly new - a year or two?? - so I don't really miss what I didn't know they had. But I was looking forward to a new special badge.
