Wow, man. The history of the forum will forever be split into two eras.
Before the Legendary rank, and after the Legendary rank.
I... was proud to be here... in the before time...

And I was in the era where there was no such thing as activity, ranks, trust rating, and all the other gimmicks. I was also in the era where scumbag scammers were very rare.

Things were much different in my day... Folks had four figure activity, but were still called hero members...

I added a new Legendary membergroup with a yellow coin. I am completely open to the possibility of changing both the name and the coin color if people don't like them. In particular, if people find that threads are now too "glittery" with all of the yellow coins, I will remove the color or make it more subtle. If you think that some other color would work better, download the legendary.gif image, modify it with your color, and post your modified GIF image. Don't change anything but the color of that one region in the image, though. (I make these images by opening the image in GIMP, selecting the colored region, and then using the Colorize tool.)
To make things more fun, the Legendary membergroup has no universal activity requirement. You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity, but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.
Also, I made it so that Staff have the coin icons for their post group instead of a fixed 5 coins.
No.

Then Theymos is retiring from the forum?
No.
This means user with activity lower than 775 has chance to be legendary?

I liked my five coins
. Suppose it makes sense to keep it in line with your actual rank though. August 11, 2014, 03:07:22 AM

That's very interesting! How is it implemented technically? Did you generate a new row for every user once-off (I suppose a few hundred k rows aren't too bad), or use something like the hash of UID + a salt to determine the point?

Just noticed that Theymos has the Legendary ranking.
Are we under a change in the rank/positions?
Or it always have been that way, and I never noticed?

It's quite new. I came to this thread looking for some information, I think theymos will announce it later. Also BadBear is the new Administrator now.
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'd probably want to give this highest rank a colored half-coin (like my red half-coin); what color should it be?

Very nice, very nice...
(Quick question: where has John gone?)
John is very busy in his personal life just because of this now not giving too much time here(Quick question: where has John gone?)
John was last active on 30th July which is not far. IMO, too much time isn't needed here, just some helpful posts.
Kindly,

That founder rank is cool! But how do you know it is Satoshi joining?
He already joined. If he returned he could sign a message from one of his known addresses.
Still dont quite understand the activity calculation. Please help.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-definitive-explanation-of-how-activity-works-495948
You can get a max of 14 activity points every two week period. Next period starts next Tuesday.
The site states that you get 14 activity posts, but doesn't matter on how many posts you have. However, that's not always the case. Newbies up to activity 15 it matters on posts. for example, if I post 6 posts then my activity will be 6. If I post 14 it will be 14 right up until 15 I believe.
Besides that, even if you don't post for a long time, your activity will be incremented with each post when you begin posting up to the limit determined by your registration date...
