- We actually listed 5 for Cali: 2 in LA and 3 in San Fran. These aren’t the only ones out there, just the only ones that we have found of have been notified about.
  
  We have also created a discussion in our forum about this topic: http://mattersofgrey.com/forum/discussion/58/douchebag-badge

This used to be the best site for badge info…not anymore. In less than a month it went from being fast with updates and comments/tips to rare updates. Yes, I know there’s a forum now…its great in theory, but very few post, and you have no way of seeing the newest comments. I hope something changes, I used to love checking here. P.S. There are three new Puma badges not mentioned anywhere here.

- We understand you concern and that we won’t be able to make everyone happy. Our forum has proven very useful for many people and has more people sign up every day. Many of our users have moved over to the forum as we will be shutting down the comments on this page tonight and all comments will be in the forum now.
  
  You can see the most recent comments on the http://mattersofgrey.com/forum/discussions page. The most recent commented discussions will show at the top.
  
  We also have a thread for new badge alerts http://mattersofgrey.com/forum/discussion/1/new-badge-alerts
  
  As for the delay in getting the Puma badges up, today has been a hectic day. All of us here at MoG have full time jobs. No one pays us to do this, it is in our free time and out of the desire to share info to everyone. We also pay for the servers out of our own pockets. We may not post info the second it shows every time but we usually do most times, and sometimes have info before anyone else. Setting up the forum was the best way we could organize all of this information, and it’s needs grow every day. Again, we understand if we aren’t making everyone happy, but we strive to make the info easier for people to subscribe to. Thank you.
