LoyceV, as always you're a statistics machine and I always like looking at data like this--but in this particular case, the tag of "the future of bitcointalk" might be misleading. There's no telling if any low-ranked, highly-merited member is going to stick around for the long term. That might be especially true now that we're in the age of AI-generated blogs/articles/posts/etc., since if anyone gets caught for that, they're toast.
We've also had members like nullius (just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others) make a big splash while new then just disappear. I'm probably making a useless argument here, but I'm just saying that having a lot of merits when you're relatively new here doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be an OG in a few years.
It would be interesting to revisit these members who've made it into this thread in about 5 years to see if they were indeed the future of the forum. Don't know how long you're going to be updating this, but I think I'm going to bookmark it on the off chance I'm still here then and still interested in knowing the results. See you in the future, Marty!!

Obviously, the tag doesn't apply to all listed users. But it's the best indication I have, and users without Merit certainly won't become the future of this forum. It would be interesting to revisit these members who've made it into this thread in about 5 years to see if they were indeed the future of the forum. There's no need to wait that long, this topic is almost 4 years old. Just check which names on the first page you recognize: They're all Legendary now.
