First of all, I am not asking SE to install platinum badges across the board.

  1. Should the popular-notable-famous question criteria be adjusted?
  2. Will all questions eventually become popular, notable and famous? Do we have a problem with that?

I am not suggesting that questions that reach 10,000 views should no longer be awarded a gold badge, but I do believe that a post that has reached a 100k visits is something a bit special and out of the ordinary. I don't know which form should this recognition take. I am hoping that the community can come up with some suggestions. What about a platinum badge?
