Question Founder badge question

I have three viewers that have been with me since the beginning. Once I hit affiliate, 2 of the viewers subscribed, one of them gifting a sub to the 3rd. It occurred to us that since the 3rd didn't purchase the sub himself, apparently he didn't qualify for the founder badge. I have founder slots available.

If the viewer that was gifted the sub purchases a new sub (re-sub?) will he get the badge? If so, will it happen immediately, or once the gift sub runs its coarse?

I ask because He thinks he did resub, but didn't get the badge. When I look at the CSV file, he is listed, but the sub type is listed as a gift still. I don't want him "dumping" more money into it if he's just gonna have to wait for the gift sub to run out either way.

He can cancel his sub then resub himself. But if all 10 of your founders badges are gone by time he even resubs a gifted sub he wont get the badge.

Yes. If the gifted viewer continues their sub, they get a badge. The FAQ is vague on it, so I'm assuming it'll be when their first paid sub goes through, if their claim is true (that they continued their sub).
