Some people have a series of ribbons below their profile...
Some of them are obvious, others not so much.

Is there a list of all of them and how they're earned?

For example, I have member. I kinda figured that is because I paid for my membership.
But I also have Adventure - no clue why I have that.
What is expedition for?
What else can be earned?

Just realized i'm not in the correct category anymore.
If moderators want to move this post, that would be great

Ribs
Staff member - OB staff
Moderator - OB forums moderator
Member - someone who pays for an OB membership (both old lifetime and newer yearly)
Expedition - someone who has the highest level of OB1 app options available to them (paid for thing)
Adventure - someone who has the middle level of OB1 app options available to them (paid for thing)
Supporter - someone who contributes $$$ to OB outside/beyond any normal fees
Investor - OB ran a fundraising thing and allowed folks to invest, this demarcates someone who invested.

The expedition/adventure items are explained in a post/page about OB1 tiers. IMO Expedition is the way to go as it allows offline maps and GPX saving.

@Ubiety nailed this one. The link below shows the difference between the three tiers; Basic, Adventure, and Expedition.

One other banner not mentioned is the Mod Team… The Mod Team reviews the POIs and GPX files for final review before they go public.

Neither “Sight Supporter” nor “Investor” Banners can be achieved anymore.
