I think this is a good idea, as it sheds light on the old members of the community. There are new legendaries almost every two weeks, so it's getting easier and easier to find one.
I think the activity should be 1920, so it ties in with the doubling activity pattern.
Topic: [Proposal] New "Ancient" ranking / higher than Legendary - page 3. (Read 2988 times)
Why not incorporate trust ratings into the trust ranking system? If you get a certain number of positive trust posts or points, then you can get opened up to different forum ranks. Perhaps put this in conjecture with time on forum or post count and you can start having different ranks based on contribution to the community.

New ranks should or probably will have to be added eventually especially when the highest rank becomes common. The ranks up to Hero just double the activity of the previous one so Legendary should become 960 activity and add another rank at double that and when the time comes double that one etc. Not really a fan of the randomness or Legendary but maybe the new rank could be random instead, though would prefer fixed ones.
It would help the forum to keep going! Would it not?
I don't really think it would. While it would be nice for this forum to live for a long time, I doubt anyone will care about an online number of points and title to stay here for several decades.People would donate if they have worked for 10 or 20 years on making their account with 5000-7000 activity.
Would they? I don't think it would really make someone donate over $3k (right now) because they have been here for a long time.But if they could sell their account for ~5 or 10 BTC. Then, they might donate. Won't they?
I guess a range between 1850 and 2150 would be ideal, a painfully long random waiting period will make the activity note interesting.
How about "Old-Timer" xD
there was already a discussion about this, for the new forum, among the other proposal, i wuld also like to see a new rank, but the name you choose is a bit underwhelming
legendary sound more badass, maybe "Eternal" or something like this?

Good constructive feedback. Thanks for telling us why.
No need to be sarcastic.I don't like it, because it is unnecessary. It certainly doesn't help with promoting Bitcoin. We should be focusing on ways to make the site more comfortable for users so they have a free outlet to work on Bitcoin related ideas, and not feel uncomfortable here. The site is for work. It can be for play too because of the Off-topic forum, but I don't see a point in making unneccessary arrangements or features when more needed arrangements and features are still very much not placed into affect on the site. Work first, then play.
Keep in mind that it is my personal opinion, so it deserves to be respected just like yours does.
These forums do not exist to make you comfortable or to promote Bitcoin.
These forums are brutally harsh and unforgiving. If your feelings are hurt, or you are triggered, or whatever coddled nonsense you are reacting to, I might suggest you find other forums to patronize.

I'd love to see a new rank just for the heck of it. Bring the action, we will have many more legendary members soon. This or add another rank before legendary and make legendary a little harder to achieve. Even better, make all ranks harder to achieve. 30 or 60 posts are nothing nowadays. Forget the 30 years idea UNTIL we have a club of members who posted here for 30 years.
The forum keeps the ecosystem of Bitcoin and the altcoins so this board should last if we're to keep it that way. As long as the system don't change, 30 years is nothing. Time flies and you shall see it when you're 50+.
Legendary already takes several years to obtain. I feel like this is enough. Maybe if I someday start to see that there's some decently-sized subset of Legendary members who are "noticeably more veteran", then another rank would be appropriate.
I'd rather see a rework of the high level ranks. The required levels of posting are almost non existent so at the moment its simply a "who has the oldest account" game. For example, Legendary requires ~1000 posts over 1000 days....
...and since it's exactly what it is, a "who has the oldest account game", it's not even a game since you can't beat someone else if you're both trying.
What would be the minimum activity, 2000?
Probably not a bad number to aim for. I'll leave the decisions up to management. Wanted to get a ball rolling on discussions for the idea.I saw the introduction of Legendary rank when there were too many hero ranks. Now that there are not many legendaries anyway, there is no need to introduce another rank above. Although 2000 activity is a logical number, that's 5.5 years of fully active postings. I wonder how many members can achieve that.

I don't like the idea at all.
Good constructive feedback. Thanks for telling us why.That would make the rank so great! Only the most passionate bitcoiners will get it! Iron out the scammers, no scammer will take 30 years to make an account!

Go for an activity of 10,000. Probably not call it ancient, but: Veteron.
This may work better, make it harder for people to get!
10,000/14 = 715: 14 day periods
= 1430 Weeks.
= 10010 Days.
= ~ 30 years.
Harder to get!
I doubt anyone here would be willing to spend 30 years of their lives actively posting on the forums.

Quote his opinion , I don't think is necessary at the moment.
Just like theymos has written above, I too do think that legendary is already hard enough to obtain. And to be quite honest, I don't see them this much!
This doesn't mean that in few years, addition of one extra rank won't be necessary. Then we will have many more legendary members!
