I know that it had some issues some time ago and thought it's gonna shut down but it survived. However, I've noticed that they haven't included the new changes regarding genres in its achievements, nor have they added the achievement about watching 2022 anime and we're already February.

So, is it still maintained in any way? Is it expected to add new achievements and/or keep up to date with MAL changes or is it on life support?

I can't speak for the long-term future of the site, but the 2022 achievement has now been added. And while new genres like "Gourmet" haven't been added, the old genre achievements mal-badges have always worked with the new genre names on MAL, e.g. "Avant Garde" titles count for "Dementia," and "Suspense" titles count for "Thriller." So it seems as though the site isn't quite dead, though we should be on the lookout for further messages from the site owner and calls for donations, should they become necessary.

I really wish there were director and studio specific challenges, been wondering if it's possible to make it happen.

Who cares about MAL anyways, let alone MAL-badges? This shite could go south the next day and people would just go to anilist.co.

Yeah, just recently noticed that my signature doesn't work anymore and sends to some lousy anime website instead.
RIP, I guess.

The guy who's taken over the site has now used it to advertise his own anime DB site, and will only do badges until 2025.

Someone needs to take the site off from him and take control and regularly update and even improve and add on to the current badges.

Edit: I just checked. FFS. Whoever that guy is just ruined MAL badges

My current goal is to revamp all the character details for High School DxD and have all the characters included in the DB.

The whole site is dead now and just redirects you to his DB site

I don't even know how you're supposed to use badges with the new site. Or are you not?

That new site won't be ready in months if that guy is the only one doing the development.

Check out this suggestion post, I'm offering an alternative solution to MAL Badges: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2059852

There is a "badges" section under one's user profile, but at least for me, it isn't displaying very accurate information at the moment.
