I've been through every single page that isn't on the list for where NOT to find them (i.e. store, modrigs, etc) and only have 3/10.
Do I need to try from another browser or are they actually in the individual product pages too (which would be the store, or so I assume)?

I started the scavenger hunt yesterday and managed to find 5/10 badges, before running into errors where it looks like evga was blocking my IP. Now, today, I can't find ANY badges, not even the badges I previously found (where it should show a "Badge Unlocked" symbol, right?)

Moderators,
Should our posts about "Access Denied" errors during the scavenger hunt be moved to a new thread?

Moderators,
Should our posts about "Access Denied" errors during the scavenger hunt be moved to a new thread?
Access denied happens to me when I hit the forums too many times in a short period of time, As when I have to moderate and clean up many posts. I get kicked out. EVGA is aware of the issue with the forum software. What I do is clear my cache and history and log back in or if I'm in a hurry, I go to another browser like firefox. Regardless, try not to hit too many pages in a short period of time. It will happens if you keep clicking. I believe it has something to do with settings for forum spammers but I don't have a confirmation on that.

I see Delirious and several others are having the same "Access Denied" issue that I am having as well. I checked the email I thread I have with EVGA web support, and it looks like I'm on my 8th email message. Gabriel's last message said that he is going to contact their service provider, but this has been going on for some time now. I am hopeful that they can figure this out in time (not a cookie, browser, or VPN issue) as I'm at 7/10 on the scavenger hunt, but my hunch is that some of us won't be able to complete it in time. Those with problems like myself may be incorrectly flagged as a bot. Things worked well the first day or two and then this. My ping time here to www.evga.com is only 12ms; way less than google even (32ms). Still hoping tech support can figure something out soon.

Just an update - as of this morning, after purposefully not accessing evga for a good 12 hours, I was able to complete the scavenger hunt. I made sure to open tabs slowly, only loading 3 or 4 at a time. Maybe a built in ddos protection flagged my IP as potentially malicious?

I did try clicking slowly (and only one tab open) on page 42 of the news articles, and after the 10th article got the "Access Denied" again. It appears that EVGA web support won't figure this one out in time for those of us affected but maybe next time.

I'm having a similar experience: even after waiting roughly 24 hours without accessing any evga site, came today to look for ribbons with just one tab open, couldn't get through more than 10 pages before access denied. I've been through every scavenger hunt since the first one, this has definitely been the most difficult. As an aside, https://www.evga.com/folding is still reporting a 404 error. Is it possible for pages with 404 errors to have ribbons on them?

Tip for the scavenger hunt: i searched so many articles back to 2015. Then I came back to the earlier ones and found the remaining badges there. I had just missed them before.
Check the first ten Pages of articles, i don't think you need to go further.

Yeah well, I searched on all submenu items and all the articles (I've seen all the 93 pages of articles). The first time I accessed them I didn't find any badge, but I went there again and found them, like you said, it didn't even take the first 10 pages to find all the missing ones. Regarding the Access Denied error, it happened countless times with me while going through all these articles. At first, I stopped scavenging and waited a few hours. Today it also happened and I've been instructed to clear EVGA's website cookies and browser cache, restarted the browser and the error disappeared. At first, I thought it was an anti-DDoS thing but, apparently, it's not. Even though it took a few hours to find all of them, it was fun. Of course that there were bugs, and I faced some of them, that's why I waited a few days to start scavenging. However, like everything done in lines of code, they are prone to bugs, so let's move on. Thanks to the dev team for fixing these bugs and happy 22nd anniversary, EVGA!

I checked back again here, thinking maybe Cyberfly and urielneves were onto something.
I went through all of the news articles from the beginning and found the remainder. Then I started checking high number pages where I had left off (44) and within a few articles "Access Denied". My hunch is that EVGA has bot protection turned off on the early articles that we all search through but after the end of the hunt you run into this issue. If you start seeing "Access Denied" you are past the end and should start over again. If this is really the case I wish tech support would have said something, but they can't reveal all of their bot protection techniques either.
Also I noticed at some point that I had been "logged out". So always check your login at the upper-right of each page you click on that you are still logged in. If you aren't for some reason the badges will not appear even if you are on the right page. That is likely how I missed some in the beginning being inadvertently logged out.
Good luck

Anyone else submit a video for the "Broadcast" contest that wasn't added to the list of videos @ evga.com/22/broadcast list? Put mine in on the 30th I think and haven't seen it added.
