Create a visual chart (maybe bar chart? Or line chart?) of the 21 badges over 7 years with 1 data point per month since that seems to be the density of data available.

Poll Question: Would you reward and/or recognize and/or applaud someone who made this?
Are you offering to do this or is this homework for me?
Neither.
I'm hoping that an enterprising student wants to enhance their portfolio by doing this simple task. By demonstrating that Ozbargainers want this I'm further motivating them. I haven't been successful in the last part though.
I'm not sure this is the best use of your time and energy. It would help though to demonstrate to Scotty the good job you're doing to shepherd the community though? Help with payrises ;-)
Or, it's just a waste of time?
Please stop trying to mould this site into how you want it, or getting others to do tasks for you. It's annoying to see, and I bet it's even more annoying for scotty et al to read and have to reply to.
The 13 million subscribers to r/dataisbeautiful would beg to differ. Besides aesthetics for example the graph of contributor's badge would show if the community was healthy. An increase matching or more then the growth in browsers or registered users would be good.
I posted on site discussion and not TWAM. If Ozbargain staff don't want to read it then they can ignore it. As I said above I wasn't posting to them necessarily.
I acknowledge this post was "lazy web" and maybe I'm not doing a great job of communicating why this isn't just for me or how it would benefit the Ozbargain community besides aesthetically.
Getting back on topic:
Although I do want to know if the data on Wayback machine is more easily retrieved via back end access by staff or maybe someone knows about Ozbargain API?

You (excessively) posted in about 3 other places, 1 being a post from 2012/13! Not even 1 place is necessary as this post would be the top topic in the forum as it was newly created and replied to.
It's just a silly statistic that is unnecessary. Smatters hit the nail on the head:
I would look at it, internally say 'that's interesting', then click back.
@spackbace: Please put further discussion on this thread about this topic where it's slightly more appropriate - Thread Resurrection/Necro Posting - Good or Bad? OzBargain Culture - OzBargain Forums
Thank you spackbace for your feedback although I'd prefer private rather then public.
Whatever happened to be excellent to each other? That's from a different site and I can't seem to find the code of conduct on Ozbargain but it holds. Your posts as regards to this thread is not constructive but dismissive.
You can't accuse me of not contributing I do have the contributor's badge - Sharing 15 or more deals that have votes 5 or more. Applies only to non-store-rep deals.
Here's what I posted in the 3 threads - 13/08/2019 - 09:46:
I'm posting it around because I know I miss posts in the site discussion forum but don't miss notifications from interesting posts. Does anyone know of a less intrusive way to get views since I will/have posted it in a few relevant threads but then the same person might get multiple notifications or read the same post twice
I did have the self-awareness to know it might be annoying or frowned upon.
I also knew that each of the threads I posted in had more then 5 subscribers for a total of tens of highly targeted subscribers who would get alerts to relevant content. They wouldn't, like me, necessarily be reading the sub-forums all the time. For example I missed DAE Feel The Classified Posting Guidelines Are Too Restrictive? by two weeks because I don't know or Ozbargain won't let you subscribe to new topics in sub-forums (Feature Request).

If you're not interested in it ignore it. If I want to go on an extended naval gazing session then let me be. I'm trying to find the other people on ozbargain who share the same goal.
This thread has degenerated into "I think it's silly" without supporting evidence and me providing some supporting evidence but saying "it's not".
Please put further discussion on this thread about this topic where it's slightly more appropriate - Thread Resurrection/Necro Posting - Good or Bad? OzBargain Culture - OzBargain Forums
Did someone call?
In all seriousness. I suspect this would be very easy to script on the other side of ozbargain.
Alternatively you would manually enter
1)7x12x21 data points (would have to load 84 pages) Probably would take 2-3 hours
2)Scrape data from way back archive - if someone has existing script might not be too hard
I don't think it is very interesting. There are other better markers of ozbargain growth, health, disease, eneloopiness etc.
If you really think it is interesting do it yourself. (Shouldn't take more than a few hours. Even if you spent 1 hour the data you get would be enough to see what you want)
Thanks DataScientist1 for the constructive post.

Please elaborate? That is what are better markers or indicators?

When I wrote 13/08/2019 - 13:17 comment I was on lunch break and writing on a mobile hence maybe a bit terse.
I would also do it myself or Upwork or Airtask it if necessary. There is also r/Data Visualization Requests and/or r/Datasets
