Instead of introducing new ranks, I would recommend more merit requirement per rank. Well it's not to make the process harder to rank up but to make it more precise. I mean 100 merit for Full Member really sounds too low and so does the above ranks.
^ only takes 10 years of being active everyday for 4k activity, sounds good, but I would change 'bad motherfucker' to 'Veteran' or similar as it sounds less cheesy and more reflective of reality.
A decade is a long time, most people move on by then, very few who stick around can get that shiny rank under their name.

I'm open to ideas for a higher rank. I feel like "Legend" is too grandiose a title to give to a living person, though. Any other ideas?
I also feel the same. Reposting the same thing that I said in another thread: Legendary rank should only be given to a few, like original devs that are still active on this forum. If ANYONE can get that rank, then it detracts away from its epicness. Maybe a more fitting term for ~1k activity would be Noble or Templar.
I was looking forward to seeing what came next to top that. I'd like to suggest "Prophet" at activity 1566 to commemorate the death of Nostradamus.
I was half kidding back when I suggested we add a “Prophet” rank and the activity level would be rather low looking back ~8 years later. A new rank would be cool though. It’s been discussed as you can see from the quote for quite some time, so I wouldn’t hold your breath. This is one of the easier things to add to the forum though, so maybe if there’s enough interest then theymos will oblige the calls for a new rank.
What would I suggest now you ask? Bad Mother Fucker - At 4000 activity/merit

The only rank that makes sense to me, without this place becoming something you see on a gaming server with loads of different ranks, which usually just become meaningless with the more you add, would be one beyond Legendary which is reserved for the exceptional. Think 10k or even 20k merits.
IIRC, Theymos has hinted about adding at least one new rank, and members have chipped in with suggestions for name and customization,big however this should happen, then besides an activity count there would also be a new merit requirement that one should reach to attain this new rank.
Would be news to me, I'm pretty sure theymos has never commented on further ranks being added at least in favour of it, I could be wrong in that though. I think other staff might have hinted at supporting the idea. to me, mega, ultra, super are not very innovative as name
I can't remember who proposed it first, but "mythical" was suggested before by cryptoaddictchie here, while it definitely does sound a little cheesy, I think it's the only one which I think would work in the current system. It seemed to get a little support at the time. 
I wouldn't mind if there are new ranks added but I don't see how it could be beneficial (for the users and/or the forum).
You propose news ranks but you don't give arguments on why they should be added and it's the most important thing you should have mentioned to convince.
- For fun? There are a lot of better things to do here to get fun.
- To make less high-ranked users? With time, the situation will be the same, and so the forum will need again to create new ranks every X years
- To get more coins under a username? fuck that, no need to make a Christmas tree
- sec. of waiting between posts won't make a difference. I think people can wait some seconds more if they really want to post

He did? Can you please point me to that post?The only thing I could find about him commenting on adding the new rank after Legendary is when he classified suggestions in Community generated suggestions to improve the forum (+ eventual voting on them) post and that specific suggestion about new rank was in the "no" group.
Anyway, I really hope that there won't be any new ranks as I don't see who would benefit from it. Maybe only people that are taking this forum way too seriously and wanna separate from others more than it is possible now.

Also, I cannot think of any motivation to add other ranks available for purchase, the admin has said that the forum does not need extra funds and copper membership pretty much covers the necessities that one would need when joining the forum and if they need to advertise a little service.
