The following Badges have been changed:

Ahoy Matey! - This badge has changed from a single level to Level badge up to 100. Each level requires 5 different venues to match other badges, instead of the old standards. If you *do not* have retroactive badges enabled the badge will automatically be retroactive to 11-24-2010 (the badge creation date).

NOTE: When a badge criteria changes, it means that your count will go down (or up, if styles are added), but it will not affect your current badge (meaning you don’t lose or gain badges). Your badge count, however, will change. For example, if you had 100 distinct beers for the Pale as the Moon badge, and checked in 20 different IPL style beer, your count will go down by 20. Your badge level will remain, but now it will need 20 more distinct beers to get back to where you were.*
