Tessellation forum badges

in General
As part of the tessellation event, forums badges such as tracker, discoverer and first discoverer were given out during the event.
With the closure of the forums, will there be any chance if this will be migrated to reddit or into the scanner someway for those agent contribution?

Lol 😂
Agreed.
this is part of the legacy of the Ingress forums and should be inherited.
In some way or another...
To add on, another forum exclusive medal:
In short, no.
They didn't see them as scanner worthy. To be honest, they forgot about them after the Tessellation.
To be honest, I'd forgotten about that too (can you even use the forum badges in any way? I think not). But in scanner there is the Tessellation Paragon badge which covers some of the above.
(The whole 13AR decoding challenge is another thing that will be lost in time, like tears in rain...)
Thanks for the reminder that these exist. It's good to have a chance to go a bit down memory lane and view those pixels, even if this is the last chance. To some extent, these forum medals correlate to Paragon and/or Knight of the Tessellation in scanner, but Tracker is a little bit extra special, having been earned by only 85 agents: https://community.ingress.com/en/badge/tracker
It's a shame to lose the record of the Tessellation, which was one of the only times that everyday agents got invested in game lore, but at least we have a chance to save our screenshots.
Just trying my luck and see if they remembers. It's part of the history in the forum back in the tessellation days where they were having plans to build the community in the forums.
Won't be surprised that I am just speaking in an echo chamber but at least there are agents who remembers about this. 😁
Who cares about your medals? I'm going to lose the record of this important achievement! Do you know how many agents I had to upset before they finally gave me this?
Maybe I can have it printed on a T-shirt. That will work way better than a name tag for introducing myself to people, don't you think?
Mine expires March 2061 so four months before yours, LOL. They never even told me what it was for, either (my suspicion is that it was for writing the initial letters of the phrase "for Frith's sake" in a post that got sent for moderation, back when that was a thing).
