    I was just awarded another "Popular Question" badge. But this time it was for my *closed* question ( http://mathoverflow.net/questions/3667/ ). An interesting feature of the software, I guess.

    You can still view and vote on closed questions, therefore you can still earn badges on closed questions. This is not your case, but it makes a lot of sense for big list questions which were closed as "no longer relevant" because they reached their quota of useful answers.

    Closed isn't the opposite of interesting or enjoyable. Closed questions can be [Popular]. There's even a closed question which is [Famous]. There are also [Good Questions] which aren't [Popular].

    I still get points and badges for the "Singing in the Rain" question.
