It's not important enough a problem to solve. If I want badges and stuff, I can very easily program that myself, without the headache of integrating with you guys. I don't think this will work. On the other hand, email delivery is hard and important, so I will pay a company to do that. Find a harder problem to solve for people.
I appreciate your honest feedback. What did you think of some of the alternatives we have been playing around with?
If you were to make your own achievement system, would you share those badges with a repository? This is basically where we started - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=795952
