Oh well - I figured that was the case.
Just a footnote - I decided to have Omar fill in for my final 2 games because my game vs. Bomb took 4 hours and 23 minutes to complete. I regret that decision and wish I would have finished at least one more game...

Glad to hear that badges have been accepted. I've setup a wiki page for the BGG badge program.
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/index.php/BGG_Badges
I will post an announcement with a link to this page.

Great! 
Meanwhile I've added camelback to the list of people to get a badge during the next update.

I just noticed that Arimaa moved up to #27 in list of abstract strategy games on BGG. It was around #30 for the last few months. I guess the recent sale on Tanga helped more BGG folks notice the game. Maybe the Arimaa badges will also help it get noticed more.

I'll try again to check it.
In fact I don't use a spam folder at all on my main public e-mail account to avoid losing important messages from unexpected sources, so that's surely not an issue there.
Edit: Checked - and unfortunately the message system does not work for me.

Keep your fingers crossed. I've just written Scot "Aldie" Alden, the big boss of BGG himself about a few still unsolved issues regarding the Arimaa award microbadges.
Meanwhile I've re-checked the contact link on the Wiki page: it does not work for me and I don't know why: I don't receive anything and no spam filters are on. So I guess it's a good idea to remove that link to avoid confusion and leave only the forum instant message link there.

Sorry for triple-posting  yet my intervention at the very top finally paid out. The badges are finally established as they should be.
What could I do more now? I just want to invite again all the top bot developers: fotland, jdb, tize and lightvector to register on BGG.
The poor horse  looks for an owner!
Edit: Badges have been awarded to the people whose nicknames I had collected up to March 15th. The next update will be in May and for now I have one player on the waiting list - camelback.

Thanks for spearheading this UT; glad to hear everything is setup with the badges now. The next step is to educated the Arimaa community about it and encourage everyone to claim their badge and display it with their icon. I'm displaying my badges now on BGG.
I've posted an announcement in the gameroom about the badge program. I will also mention it next time I send out an announcement email to the community.

BGG microbadge update coming soon(TM). 
Well, not so soon, the yearly update time is the first half of May.
Current update status:
Rabbit:
No new players in World Championship this year. I have three update requests from froody, Knarl and Heyckie.
Cat:
N B can obtain the badge for bot Lucy. Yet I have no data whether N B has a BGG account.
Dog:
Nombril and Hanzack both have chance to be awarded. For nombril I have the BGG account name: Wily Jeneric. I have no data for Hanzack.
Horse:
No change. It's somewhat sad that none of the champion developers has an account on BGG...
Camel:
Hanzack can obtain the badge.
Elephant:
There is a chance for tize!
As usual I ask all the eligible people who have BGG accounts and who are not assigned the badges yet to contact me to add their BGG nicks to the list. I also encourage all other eligible people to create accounts on BoardGameGeek to promote our game there. In fact the existence of such accounts alone would promote the game no other special activity is required...
