Update: experiment was a success, power badge is no more in Warpcast!

Active users saw no impact and new users benefitted from this change. Warpcast will remove power badges from the UI permanently. 

If you are a developer who uses Power Badge, @neynar will continue supporting the Power Badge API for you.

Why are ppl upset about this? Isn't this what everyone wanted? No more power badges?

Frequently incoherent. Hater. Not interesting. Very boring.
