Add lifetime badges as a reward for download milestones etc.

Hey,

badges are cool, and they can motivate people to keep doing what they are doing. The current badges are very temporary, and there's a lot of smaller creators that don't have the time or resources to train the amount needed to go for those. But they still keep uploading and are slowly accumulating downloads and followers etc., which is something that might be worth rewarding. YouTube has a cool reward called play buttons, and they are rewarded when reaching 100k (silver), 1m (gold), 10m (diamond) etc. subscribers. Having something similar for total model downloads (similar scaling like youtube) or eventually followers (once the website gets big enough to have bigger follower milestones (I think Lykon has like 15k followers right now?). Here's an example for some cool rewards:

• 100k total downloads -> bronze creator badge and a bronze name color

• 1m total downloads -> silver creator badge and a silvername color

• 10m total downloads -> gold creator badge and a gold name color

• 100m total downloads -> diamond creator badge and a light blue ish name color

And then you could consider adding some buzz rewards of some size for each milestone a creator passes. I would suggest rewarding the custom name colors (like the supporters green color) since its a permanent achievement that takes a lot of long time dedication to reach, and it might be worth adding more colors for those. These values will need a change eventually if the website starts to get more overall users and downloads tho since it will get easier to achieve.

For followers you might want to wait and see how it develops, or start rewards there at 1k+. Maybe even send out actual trophies or something cool like colored civet plushies for reaching really big milestones in followers.

Thats it for now. Would be awesome to see this implemented in some way.
