The rank above Legendary should be Super Saiyajin. Required activity?
I'll see what I can do over the weekend. I scripted an Auction-bot for bitcointalk a while ago, so it should not be too difficult.
I kind of like the idea of an elitist bot squishing newb postings

If no-one complains over the next one or two days, I'll let you have it or set up a new "international" thread
At the moment you only need 1 post per potential activity to turn it into activity. Or looking at it from the other way, you only get a maximum of 1 potential activity per day). Because the average person posts 5-10x as much as this, it means that "activity" isn't measuring any form of activeness, but just of how old the account is.
For example:
Account with 1500 potential activity and 1500 posts = 1500 activity
Account with 1000 potential activity and 50000 posts = 1000 activity
Is having an older account really a better metric when its capped at 1 potential activity a day?
Well your argument does make sense. Someone who has not used his account for a long time could easily jump-start the activity by posting. This is what I also dislike and this is what makes the metric invalid for me. What is your proposal exactly though? For example:
Account with 1500 potential activity and 1500 posts = 1500 activity
Account with 1000 potential activity and 50000 posts = 1000 activity
Is having an older account really a better metric when its capped at 1 potential activity a day?
The simplest fix which could be tried first is to increase the level of potential activity per day such that your number of posts actually becomes relavent. Ie 5-10x what it is now. Then you would inflate the level requirements by the same amount to prevent inflation.
Ie for accounts of the same age from the previous example:
Account with 7500 potential activity and 1500 posts = 1500 activity
Account with 5000 potential activity and 50000 posts = 5000 activity
This discussion side tracked a little but I don't mind a special sub-forum for legendary members, I am sure I'll reach there some day, maybe allow Hero-Members there too for certain discussions, atleast people will post their opinion there without hiding behind newbie accounts.
Let's try a thread for legendary members only and call it "Land of Legends | No Trespassing"
Wonder where you guys would make it though and what it will be about.

I'd still prefer a rework/uncapping/higher cap per day to the activity than just more tiers. Ie someone can be on 10k posts or 1k posts and have the same activity - it doesn't make sense.

im hoping to get there soon. fingers crossed. a while back it was discussed to have a section for certain level users, like apparently the mods have.
me personally, i know i wanted as a feature, to be able to discriminate against certain accounts from being able to reply to posts. whether it be based on rank, trust, blacklist, or the presence of a sig.
someone stated then, that this sort of option, may be a feature in the long awaited new forum software. only time will tell.

It'd be easy to start the thread with a bot-account and have that bot do the administration automatically every 5 minutes or so.
If you can provide the bot, we could work something out. I kind of like the idea of an elitist bot squishing newb postings
That's right, quite a few of the VIPs spend time in jail or are in hiding 
Let's hope that you do join them. But isn't the same true for Legendaries? There's just so many that are no longer active.
I don't think so. Initially I would have thought that this is the case, but a lot more people have been becoming legendaries (since the rank was introduced). According to the Members page there are 563 Legendary members now.Sure, a thread is not a forum, but it could be a test, nonetheless. Like "Wall observer" for elitists
Well the suggestion makes sense, albeit the thread would have to be in the off-topic section.It'd be easy to start the thread with a bot-account and have that bot do the administration automatically every 5 minutes or so.
If you can provide the bot, we could work something out. As I wrote before, the Donators'/VIPs' forum is practically dead, suggesting that "elitist" subforums don't really work.
I don't think that analogy is correct since the majority of Donators/VIPs are gone (are they not?).But isn't the same true for Legendaries? There's just so many that are no longer active.
But as a suggestion, why don't we simply try out?
Create a self-moderated thread where one of us simply deletes any and all posts by non-Legendaries?
Well we could, but I don't see how a single thread could resemble a section. The only way to do that would be a thread in the off-topic section where legendaries could talk about anything. Even this can't really be compared to a section and I don't think that it would attract a lot of attention in that section (basically trash section).

Above legendary?
You can be promoted for moderator? Maybe staff?
Or if you are a great poster you can monetize your few years effort..
Also as trusted member you can always become escrow and enjoy..

That would be a forum for somewhere on the order of 600 people, as far as I can tell.
Way too few to sustain a lively discussion, IMHO.
Not necessarily. This is just a subforum and I'm pretty sure that it would be quite active because of legionaries being a "special club" of sorts that looks down on the pawns. Besides, that section would keep getting new members as more activity cycles pass. I don't see a reason for which this idea should not be (at least) given a shot in the new forum. Way too few to sustain a lively discussion, IMHO.
Especially considering that many are inactive and also not necessarily all of us are fluent in English.
Even if we put the number of active and decent English speakers at around 300 it would be enough to sustain a section. There don't have to be hundreds of posts a day you know. But as a suggestion, why don't we simply try out?

since we're suggesting rank names. I vote for Sage.
as for the Legendary sub-forum. I'm very sure that it won't be very active because the lack of specific subjects to talk about. ofc there's no harm in making one.... probably.

This is also true, it would ahve to be put in the off topic forum and off topic replies are against forum rules. You would need an entire self-moderatedboard for this to work!

Why don't create a special forum section only for the legendary users instead create a new rank (for the moment) ? What do you think guys ?
So many good ideas here, and this is one of them. I definitely like the idea of exclusive sections of bitcointalk, and I wish I'd been here at the beginning to donate whilst bitcoin was cheap. But for members who've been here for longer than a legendary member--they should have their own section. The language problem I think can be dealt with. Most members write English pretty well but the non-English speaking ranks would fill up eventually. hero member

It took theymos years to create a new rank. Perhaps we should wait more before there's a new one so it's more of an achievement to those that kept using the forum along that time.

We have too much power. I wonder how it would be with those first hitting the next rank (albeit I'd place it very high/or via different contributions).

"Significant" would be a nice rank
I like that but should that be above Legendary? Not sure..

Those are more of titles, working beside the ranks.
Misread that as titties at first.
If we have these ranks at the top, users would try to lose their activity somehow to not reach there.
Don't know if that's even possible or not.
Should there be another Rank above Legendary?
It would of course be interesting to have but if you have to make threads to appeal then No,not necessary.Though,'Brand New' is the rank you start with before newbie ,maybe edit the image ?Yeah, totally forgot about that, let's just imagine them somewhere between the first ring and the wooden base.
There might be something to it for some though, but hasnt theymos said he likes "mytic" or "mystic" or something like that?
Don't know what mytic means but mystic is nice.
How about these..
Epic
Magnificent
Prime
Mighty
Elite
Iconic

Pioneer

Well, the Donator/VIP only forum is practically dead.So, empirical evidence seems to suggest that such a small group is unlikely to sustain a vibrant community
After legendary should be:
1. Legendarier
2. Legendariest
3. Legendariester
4. Legendariestest
5. Legendary-oh-you-get-the-point->:-|

Instead of piffling forum ranks, once you reach a beyond legendary level you should have a block named after your username and link to the wonderful transactions within it. Plus a ten per cent cut of its contents.
I doubt we can get consensus on this, you know bitcoin wide, beyond the forum, etc.
It would be nice if there was another rank (not sure why we don't have more of them). The community could give suggestions and later a poll could be run in order to vote for the best one. However, this was proposed at least once in recent times and theymos has stated that he would not add one (right now; IIRC).

I like "Addict" or maybe "Obsessed"

Well, would that mean we would have to get rid of the "mysterious Legendary achievement activity set for each member" sort of thing for Legendary and put that on the higher rank? Or... how would that work? A mystery for both ranks? (Because I think it's more likely that we'll get one more additional rank instead of a whopping ten or something.)
Well, you know, activity typically doubles for every consecutive rank and I doubt anyone, regardless of how
Plus Satoshi might have a problem with that last one.
Also legendary - then perhaps entity...myth... deity... demi god ..god.. final rank should be
" I am Satoshi "
200k posting 10 yrs member
" I am Satoshi "

LOL at your picture there OP, I liked that.
I too think there should be rank(s) above legendary, and I think it should be a surprise. There could be some really creative ways to do it if people put some thought into it. But at least something above legendary--I'm down with that. I have yet to get to hero, but I'm working on it.

How many years to be legendary rank?
You can get the legendary rank when you have between 775-1030 activity. It is random when you will get the legendary rank once you have the minimum activity (775).So, you would need 775 days, or roughly 2 years to get to the legendary rank.
What if it goes like "Super Member" or "Super Legendary"
Sounds nice, right???
Sounds nice, right???
How about "Addict"?
(that seems more suitable to me - and no I'm not hoping to qualify)

Wouldn't they just offer extensions. E.G: the ability to change a profile name every time you get an extra 1000 activity?
Meaning, at 2000 activity, you get a chance to change your name twice!
