[Proposal] New "Ancient" ranking / higher than Legendary

[theymos]

Probably the next one would be "Mythical".

I like the sound of it.  Ancient after thinking does kinda make the account sound old not special. Mythical has kinda a more magical sounding.

I can only wonder what activity for it would be.   You would have to have it very high to make it so special.  I like the random factor to, so random just so high very few would ever get it.  I think it would be fun if only a handful ever got it the activity level was so high.

They should just double with every rank in my opinion. Makes it easier and doubling each time makes the ranks much difficult to achieve whilst keeping some standard/order. Legendary should become 960 and then Mythical 1920.

When you have 1337 posts your post number becomes leet, right? We should make it that when you reach 420 the post number transforms into weed master.

"Activity" is a good name because it shows how many days you've been active on the forum. If you created an account in 2010, used it for a week, and then returned in 2015, your activity (including potential activity) would be pretty small.

I agree that it'd be better to look at the quality of your posts and things like that, but this can't be calculated automatically.

Why do I have 250 more activity than hilariousandco, someone who has posted [been active] twice as much as I have? Because my account is a bit older? People could have less than 10% of his posts and still have a higher activity, it doesn't make sense.

My point is is that there should be a much higher standard than 1 post a day, even if it only becomes active at higher ranks, which would give a greater quantification to "activity" on the forum.

Yes, definitely activity is not the correct name (or it should change the calculation of it).

Because you've been here much longer than I have. Activity is a good indicator because you can't just spam your way to it as activity takes into consideration age by how many two week periods you've posted in. It's also not necessarily one activity point per day but 14 per fortnight. You can get the same activity by making one post in each period then making up the rest of the posts at a later date.

Maybe not but it's too late to change it now but what else would you call it?

Ancient sounds like abandoned or old account to me.

No arguments here. Better choice.

I think about we can maybe introduce some rare status for people who registered on bitcointalk in the first year of the forum?

It should say: 'Early Adopter', or something distinctive enough to spot these lucky individuals. Thoughts?

Nope, I don't think so, early adopter, even legendary is still better than that, should check account age not activity, which is not implemented in this forums.

Plus if its about earliness I have an account that I never used in this forum since ages ago and that wont be fair.

Just increases value to account sellers and doesn't actually represent people who are contributing to the forums,

Probably wouldn't increase value that much especially if it doesn't have any benefits with it other than just the name. I don't thinl registering early should mean much without the activity which will suffice.

Yeah, plus this discussion reminds me of Spinal Tap's "Up to eleven" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven

Would you to receive an honest answer ....    ?


I don't have in my mind any valid substitute to 'activity'.

I can only wonder what activity for it would be.   You would have to have it very high to make it so special.  I like the random factor to, so random just so high very few would ever get it.  I think it would be fun if only a handful ever got it the activity level was so high.

I like your thinking on this.  That range is pretty good.  I still would like it to be random as it adds additional factor that makes it even more special. 

But if you did random with 1920 - 2XXX (2000 and something) I would like it.   I just want this one to be one where when someone sees it they are impressed with the person getting it.   

Also giving them a nice deign on the coin's beside name.  I don't know how to make it super special.  But it would have to be something worthy of the rank.

Is there any statistic about how many Hero, Legendary are in total, or sorting them by every rank so we can see how many Mythical could there be at activity 1920+.

Having the highest rank as random (after 1920) would be ok but personally I'd prefer it to be fixed (but that's just me  ).

You can search for members, enable Search by position and enter "Legendary". At the moment there are 490 Legendary members and about 2300 Heros.

I don't think there's a way to sort or filter by activity.
