Aren't I the most active user among Hero members here?

[Joel_Jantsen]

Well, if a user's activity is a measure of being active on the forum

Not really.I've barely seen you posting or active on the forum.It's from the past 2 months I think I started noticing some of your posts.Activity points can be farmed,no big deal.

am I currently the top Hero member? So does anyone know of a Hero member with activity higher than or equal to mine presently (just curious)? I'm at 980 as of today...

Activity doesn't prove shit.Lutpin is one of the highly active hero members who "actually" contributes to something good along with achow aka knightdk.

I will lock this thread when (if) I become a Legendary member myself

Still don't understand why would you think it should matter to anyone else in the forum ? Being legendary also "doesn't mean jack" go to auctions and see the number of legendary accounts being sold.

If I was you,I'd lock this thread right away.

Wow! I'd like to know what made you post here in the first place if it didn't matter anything to anyone in the forum. But the thread is essentially not about becoming Legendary. I'm just curious if I'm currently a Hero member with the highest activity value (hoping to meet someone walking in the same shoes). On the other hand, if you had read the first page, you would have known that I even stroke a bet on me hitting (or missing) a Legendary member status soon. As you can see, at least some people do care exactly for that...

But you can try to monetize your claims as well, you're welcome

I have to admit I'm looking forward to becoming a Legendary Member, it'll be good to look down on & disregard all those pauper Senior & Hero's (joke).

deisik - It's activity upgrade today, hopefully you could become a Legendary Member later on today.

If users didn't want to get promoted to a higher rank, there wouldn't be any such ranks at all. In this way, it is human and normal to feel like that. The 30 pages (and counting) of the Legendary One Day thread stockpiled during the last year speak louder than any words. And I gather as well that a higher rank account costs more than a lower one on average. So the rank does matter after all...

I hope for that too, but now I won't be quite disappointed if I don't

[Ardenyham]

There are two of us with Activity 910 - I expect the other person will become legendary earlier than myself due to their posting double the number of posts in a shorter period of time.

I don't think the amount of posts really matter to make someone legendary. I don't know how people get rank up. I think admins created a bot or coded this feature and it automatically rank accounts up..
I've become legendary with only 805 Activity and my posts was also 805(wasn't have any extra posts. don't you think it should be noted in the history and list of bitcointalk's records and rare things?) so the number of higher posts won't make him legendary.

You're correct. It doesn't matter whether how many posts a user makes during one activity period, they can only get a maximum of 14 activity (if all potential activity is used up).
I also expect that rank-ups are hard-coded into the system, so BTCT doesn't use a bot or anything similar.

(wasn't have any extra posts. don't you think it should be noted in the history and list of bitcointalk's records and rare things?)

It's a cool thing to note, but not really that rare. It simply meant that you didn't use up all of your activity in some periods, giving you some potential activity (which then made your activity be directly influenced by your post count, causing them to be the same).

[deisik]

Activity just got increased, but I'm still a Hero member, now at 994 points for another two weeks. I have a gut feeling that I will turn into Legendary exactly at 1,008 points. So my bet will evidently end up in a draw. But it is still somewhat better than making it till "the bitter end"...

Now I stake 0.001 BTC (1.0 mBTC) that I will hit it next time

[The Sceptical Chymist]

They made me wait right until the bitter end for my enthronement. They'll get theirs. Oh yes they will.

Lol.  Glad you made it without going even more insane than you are.

OP, I swear I've never seen you post here and it definitely seems like I should have by now.  What sections are you in, mostly?  Anywhos, I would bet that you're not going to be legendary tomorrow, but I wouldn't take the other side of that bet.  You're probably gonna have to wait and wait and wait.

Didn't Amph get legendary like really early?

You can check his activity and figure out why you never seen him post  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=156665;sa=statPanel

Ah that makes sense,  and I apologize for my ignorance and/or laziness.

Damn they're making you wait until the bitter end. I'm on 770 now so technically I'm finally eligible at the next activity add up although obviously it'll take a lot longer.

[deisik]

Is it a deal?

I agree with the deal. To further validate this:

Code:

I, actmyname, on this October 10th, 2016 (EST) agree to wagering 1.75 mBTC against deisik. 
If deisik does not become a Legendary member on Bitcointalk at 1008 activity or less,
I will pay them 1.75 mBTC.

I guess it's time to pay. As you can see, I'm still a Hero Member and my activity is at 1,008 points at the moment. But what did you really hope for? My BTC addy is in my profile page...

Here's the snapshot for future reference

I expected something like that from the very beginning when the Legendary rank had first been introduced, so I'm not surprised really. If I made it past the 1030 limit still as a Hero member, that would likely surprise me somewhat...

Though there’s always the next wedding

[LFC_Bitcoin]

deisik you are still a Hero Member at 1008 activity points, you are guaranteed to be Legendary within 4 weeks though so relax.

I've only just reached 784 (over 775) and I am still a Hero. Hopefully I make Legendary in the next activity rank up.

If users didn't want to get promoted to a higher rank, there wouldn't be any such ranks at all. In this way, it is human and normal to feel like that. The 30 pages (and counting) of the Legendary One Day thread stockpiled during the last year speak louder than any words. And I gather as well that a higher rank account costs more than a lower one on average. So the rank does matter after all...

You must be really very disappointed buddy as despite crossing 1000 activities point you still not legendary but isn't it a matter of time before you become one.So do not be sad and enjoy spending your time here

So what about the remaining amount?

Honestly speaking, there is no point into getting disappointed over not reaching Legendary member yet. Especially because of the fact that there are no real benefits to it. Yes, some signature campaigns pay Legendary members slightly more, but it's peanuts. Also, not yet achieving such states, gives you something to look forward to. Especially because of the fact that after Legendary there is nothing anymore. It's an empty road that you continue to walk without end in sight.

Edit;

Many a little makes a mickle

I like that one.

I'm not very much disappointed now, since I won the bet, after all. Though I really hoped that I would lose and become Legendary sooner, but it didn't work out, lol. It is not so much about being up-ranked per se as being not lucky enough to get there earlier (read later than others). On the other hand, this alone makes you tough as well as search for workarounds and insurances of sorts...

Tough times never last, but tough people do

I personally forgot about the .75. I was falsely remembering the week prior that I needed to check your activity on Tuesday to see if I had to pay 1 mBTC. No worries though: I'll pay by tonight if no personal problems arise. After all, I don't want to have anything happen over less than a dollar.
