:This article discusses the badges you can earn on the NaNoWriMo forums. For other types of NaNoWriMo badges, see Badges.
Forum badges are the badges a Wrimo can earn on the NaNoWriMo forums. They were introduced in 2019 with the transition to Discourse hosting the forums.
==NaNoWriMo forums-specific badges==
NaNoWriMo has some custom forum badges for the NaNo community. In fact, the NaNoWriMo staff asked for forum badge suggestions during the site preview period.
* Beta Tester 2019: Earned for helping beta test the preview NaNoWriMo site and the new Discourse forums before the September 2019 launch. It was assigned manually by posting in this thread. This badge can be used as a title.
* Bug Hunter: Found a bug on the NaNoWriMo website or forums and reported it in the support forum. This badge is assigned manually.
* Exemplar: Earned for making an outstanding contribution to the NaNoWriMo community. This badge is assigned manually.
* Greeter: Earned for being friendly and helpful to new Wrimos. This badge is assigned manually.
* Jailbird: Earned for running out of likes. This badge is assigned manually after posting to the Like Jail thread. Wrimo tdgor suggested this badge.
* Mod Minion: Earned for timely and appropriate flagging of posts. This badge is assigned manually and can be used as a title.
* Municipal Liaison: Earned for being a Municipal Liaison. It's unknown if MLs lose this badge upon deciding not to return for the next November NaNoWriMo event. This badge is assigned manually.
* Thememaker: Earned for creating a Discourse theme that was accepted and installed on the NaNoWriMo forums. This badge is assigned manually.
* Velociraptor: No one really knows how you earn this badge, but it's assigned manually. This badge can be used as a title. Wrimo pipn_t suggested this badge as a joke, but then it caught on, eventually spinning off in one of the largest threads in the forum.
* Voice of Reason: Earned for being a calm, soothing presence that encouraged others to get along when things get tense in a forum thread. This badge is assigned manually and can be used as a title.
==Built-in Discourse Badges==
Discourse provides many badges built in as part of its gamification system for learning the forums. Many of these can be earned quickly after joining, such as creating a topic, replying to a post, editing your post, completing the user tutorial with Discobot, liking or reacting to a post, and linking to a post.
You can also gain badges after reaching the next Trust Level or receiving a certain number of likes on a post or thread.
Note that filling out your profile on the main NaNoWriMo website will transfer that profile over to the forums, earning you the badge.

Fourth wall

The term "fourth wall" comes from staging plays. On a stage there are three walls that are built, leaving out the fourth so that the audience can see what is going on. The term has come to mean the separation between a fictional world and the audience. "Breaking the Fourth Wall" often refers to a character addressing the audience, such as an aside in a screen play.
The fourth wall is a great and often used way of word padding. In some works, it is used for comedic effect. Sometimes a narrator will use it to relay information to the audience that either the characters don't know, or already know, but learned when the audience wasn't "present" such as before the storyline began.

Fund-o-Meter

The NaNoWriMo Fund-o-Meter measures how much of the target donation to NaNoWriMo nonprofit has been funded. It is visible on the main page of the NaNoWriMo website in the form of a graph of books that are colored in as the goal gets closer to being met. In 2010 and earlier, each level had a pop up box showing what would be covered by that amount. In 2011, this was replaced with a page of the site entitled "Where Your Donation Goes" due to the popups not truly reflecting where the money went. Before 2014 or so, the Fund-o-Meter featured the current stats for the year including what percentage of Wrimos have donated and how much money has been raised overall. It also included either "Have you donated?" or "Thanks for donating!", depending on whether the logged-in Wrimo has donated, which is still located below the Fund-o-Meter.
In 2013 the Fund-o-Meter moved from the front page to the dashboard, making it only viewable to logged-in users. It also reset at the beginning of 2014 to reflect fundraising for the new fiscal and calendar year, and has reset at the beginning of each calendar year since then.
Camp NaNoWriMo's Fund-o-Meter took the form of an arrow that showed how much has been donated toward Camp NaNo's expenses.

Gamers & Gaming

Gamers & Gaming (formerly Virtual Worlds) is a NaNoWriMo forum that lets Wrimos of a common game or virtual world connect. This forum differs from Finding Your Crew in that Finding Your Crew is open to online communities (for example, other forums), while Virtual Worlds is more focused on games, online or offline.
It was founded in 2007 as Virtual Worlds and was renamed in 2019 to reflect a wider focus on all types of games, not just online games. Gamers & Gaming is a subforum of Outside the Box.

Genre Lounges

Genre lounges are forums on the official NaNoWriMo site that allow writers to communicate with others who are writing the same genre. Many of the genre lounges have regular threads and sub-topics. Some of the more common threads that occur in many or all of the genre forums include the Writing Buddies and genre-specific Dares.
More specific examples of types of threads include the Science Fiction forum, which has many genre sub-categories, and the Historical Fiction forum, which has several threads discussing different time periods.
The Genre Lounges in 2012 are:
* Adventure
* Chick Lit
* Erotic Fiction
* Fantasy
* Historical Fiction
* Horror & Supernatural
* Literary Fiction
* Mainstream Fiction
* Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
* Religious, Spiritual, & New Age
* Romance

Get Sponsored

Get Sponsored is a part of NaNoWriMo's More Ways to Give program, which allows enthusiastic Wrimos who are a little short on spending money to support NaNoWriMo in other ways by getting family, friends, and fellow Wrimos to support them in their place.
Users create a page and set a fundraising goal through the Classy website. Wrimos can upload a picture and write text, or use the provided sponsorship request text. The page allows you to accept pledges and offline donations as well as credit card donations. Previously the sponsorship pages were run through GiftTool, but in 2011, they were switched to Classy. Wrimos earn donor goodies as they raise the equivalent funds; for example, a Wrimo who raises $100 through their sponsorship page will get the year's donation poster. However, since the sponsorship runs through the end of the month, a Wrimo will not be able to get their halo until December. Sponsorship funds do not count toward region totals during the event since they are not counted in full until December, when the sponsorship ends.
During Camp NaNoWriMo Wrimos who add their sponsorship URL to their profiles get a "Sponsored Camper" profile badge on their profiles. The main NaNoWriMo Author Info area also provides a space for Wrimos to include their sponsorship URL.
Often NaNoWriMo HQ give away prizes to the top sponsorship fundraisers at the end of an event. Past prizes have included tablets and a phone consultation with a published author.
Wrimos who want to attend the Night of Writing Dangerously must raise a certain amount ($300 in 2016) through the Night of Writing Dangerously-specific sponsorship page in order to be admitted.

Goodchatting

GoodChatting is the IRC server where one of NaNoWriMo's unofficial chatrooms is hosted. The channel name is #nanowrimo. #nanowrimo is the oldest Nano-related IRC chat, founded in October 2002. While its popularity has dwindled over the years, during November, it may have over 100 people actively participating in the chat simultaneously.
The GoodChatting NaNoWriMo chatroom served as the official NaNoWriMo chatroom in the 2007 and 2008 seasons and had its own page on the NaNoWriMo website . While the chat moved to unofficial status in 2009, the FAQ continued to mention the chatroom in 2009 and 2010. Since then, the GoodChatting NaNoWriMo chat has been strictly unofficial but is still very active during Nano season.
You can access #nanowrimo with your web browser by going to this page or you can use your favourite IRC client to connect to #nanowrimo (or any other GoodChatting channel) by connecting to server irc.goodchatting.com, channel #nanowrimo (or the channel of your choice). Several regions, such as Georgia::Atlanta, Edmonton (Alberta) and Montreal (Quebec) host their regional chatrooms on GoodChatting as well.
If you're a Municipal Liaison, you can fill out this form to request a regional chatroom be set up to allow people to chat via the web.
BattleJesus is the primary bot found in GoodChatting NaNo-related chat rooms.

Great Nordic Word War

The Great Nordic Word War is a multi-region word war that takes place on one day in November. It first took place on 16 November 2019 with Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland participating. Denmark joined in 2020 .
During the event, writers write as many words as they can on the day and record their word count for that day in a spreadsheet, along with the country they represent. At the end of the day, each country's word count is averaged, with the highest median word count declared the winner. The event is optional, and writers who do not want to participate may opt out.
Norway won the 2019 event, with an average word count of 6,419 across 47 writers. Finland had the largest individual total. Overall, the four countries saw 179 writers who wrote 894,637 words.
Norway took the crown again in 2020, with an average word count of 9,094 words among 54 writers. Overall the five countries saw 252 writers and 1,816,597 words written. The other countries placed as follows:
* Second place: Finland, average 7,336 words, 37 writers
* Third place: Denmark, average 7,061 words, 48 writers
* Fourth place: Sweden, average 6,724 words, 104 writers
* Fifth place: Iceland, average 4,120 words, 9 writers

Great Train Escape

The Great Train Escape is an all-day train write-in. Southern California Wrimos take over an entire Amtrak train car section on the Coast Starlight train traveling between San Diego and Oakland. It is held on the weekend of the Night of Writing Dangerously each year, and many of the Wrimos taking this trip attend the event.
Wrimos may board the train at any point between San Diego and Oakland; if not boarding at San Diego or Los Angeles Union Station with a group of Wrimos, the conductor can lead them to the NaNo group.
After arriving in Oakland, Wrimos usually split taxi or Uber fare to San Francisco, where they retreat to their hotels and hostels. Some Wrimos room together for the weekend to save on prices.
Saturday consists of having fun in San Francisco, as well as attending the out-of-towner get-together hosted by NaNoWriMo HQ. Sunday consists of more San Francisco fun before the Night of Writing Dangerously, followed by flying or taking the train back home on Monday.
The USA::California::Los Angeles MLs attending the Night of Writing Dangerously organized the Great Train Escape from 2012, possibly earlier, to 2014. USA::California::San Diego ML syaffolee organized the event in 2015 and 2016.
Wrimos taking part in the Great Train Escape are not required to attend the Night of Writing Dangerously, although many do. Some Wrimos come along just to enjoy the train ride and San Francisco for the weekend, and the Bay Area regions host write-ins and events that out-of-town Wrimos are welcome to attend.
