Bitcoin Forum

I just saw a member in forum whose activity is about 900+ but he is still a hero member while others at this activity is legendary?? How is this possible?

Legendary can come anytime after 9?? it could be at 1000 ans still be a hero.

Legendaries can be hit in a broad window of activity ranging from 775 to 1030.
It is random and you can't do anything to influence when your account will hit the legendary ranks (or can you? :D ).
The stickies^[1] would have answered your question.

Thanks for correcting my noob answer.

I would think it also depends on when you hit legendary by the post quality as well is put into consideration for the rank up to that level. :-\

No, getting legendary rank doesn't depends on post quality. Forum software can't check does member have poor or good posts quality. And forum staff can't promote any forum members to legenderary rank.

I am nearly at 1000 activity but I am still a Hero level member.

I guess because I do not post very much.

in theory you may become Legendary  even today, all what you need write up to 30 post,
practically probably be enough and half of the :)

Hey check your inbox please I PM'd you earlier.

there is another topic about that,it could give you some insight as well

there are staunch believers in "random" theory as well as "karma" theory supporters
but I think there is a secret council held on a daily basis,deciding who to promote
jk I don't :) but that would be hella funny

Et voilà, now you are a legendary member (welcome to the club :P). I wonder when theymos will add the next rank?

I am more unluckier than this guy as I touched legendary and then demoted back to Hero by system :D

What next rank?
I thought it would be implemented when the new forum goes live.
When ever that will be. ::)

Perhaps a bought account and a lot of post purging?

Hopefully not too soon, I've only been Legendary for about a month ;D

Well I still have a long, long way to go.  Was it decided as to whether a higher rank or ranks will be added?  I don't recall that Theymos chimed in on the issue, though I know it was batted around.  It would certainly be good, because the legendary ranks aren't exactly going to shrink.  Perhaps a whole new renaming is in order?

I've already become a Legendary member and I'm so happy with the new rank :)

I also expected to become one when my activity reached 900+ but it was so soon :D

After you posted this comment here, you have already became a Legendary member, is someone make this happened(not random)?

No, their activity could be higher but is limited by the number of posts. It will increase with every post until the limit is hit. Because the user often posts less than 14 posts in 14 days, this limit was actually above legendary max (1030) for quite some time.

It should be randomly generated and you have already become legendary...

For the rest people. Just read the rules. :)

It is randomly generated on your join date, some kind of algorithm or random process decided by theymos. I think it's between 775 & 1030 activity that every member is guaranteed to become a Legendary Member.

It has to do with what other privileges the top members give them I think

Who cares about ranks tho.....

Oh, a lot of people do.  Not just on this forum, but pretty much on all of them.  Legendary status is kind of starting to lose its meaning around here because there are so many of them, but it still means you're an OG on bitcointalk.  Same thing for the hack forums and all the other boards.  The system on this board is weird, unlike so many other boards I've been to.
