Badges are small graphics awarded to users that compete in competitions or help out the site in some way. However, they originally had a much different purpose.
History
Back during the EZBoard (or vBulletin) era, badges were conceived. They were originally just jokes created by Kritter, for a bit of humour on the boards, and nobody actually took them to heart; they were the Whiner, Complainer, Mr. Serious, Flamer, Stupidity and Annoyance badges. Once this caught on, other users decided to make their own badges for various things, for example being a Soveryhappy fan, or Draco's Ass of MFGG badge, to the point where users had whole armada's of badges to give out, people had dozens in their sigs at a time, and most of which weren't really useful at all.
After a while, users started creating more useful badges, such as winners of the Sprite Competitions. Some time later, when MFGG transferred to an Invision board, Klobber and Retriever II decided to make badges that promote these positive things, and have them be in the user's profiles. Badges were created using graphics from Paper Mario and awarded for many things.
