We actually do, though: the Donator awards.
I understand about the grammar i was just using that to explain how HQ the forum seemed. What? Donator awards?

Like I've said, I was always a fan of posting for your ranks/privileges, which I've always thought gave this forum a step up from almost every forum out there. But maybe it's selfish of me to be disappointed about the change in that regard because I am not the one running the show. Things cost money behind the scenes so I don't want to throw a hissy-fit while I enjoy everything for free.
As for the reputation update, I think it's the fairest thing to do as a compromise for older and future members. I would have kept everyone's negative reputation also, I don't see why that's removed. But my selfish side tells me to just say fuck you to the new members, because the older members rightfully earned their +3, +4 reputation ability.
Let's just so how this pans out.

Well, @Oni is hosting a sitewide contest for HQ threads and tutorials to bring back quality, if that helps. And yep, Donator awards.

The only difference between S.Elite and Elite was that you got access to the S.Elite lounge, giveaways(weren't that many tbh) and downloads. As for Legends being inclusive, I don't think that was the intention of it at all. I think it was just to let people know that their past status wasn't a waste, that you're being rewarded with a usergroup with some upcoming perks and that holyfuckingshit you're an oldfag.
Yeah, I would have liked to have S.Elite though...
Letting people know that their past status wasn't a waste? I feel rather like it was now. Like I don't see any benefit in being a "Legend" Like literally half the forums has the same thing.

When people (sadly) start to become more inactive, it should start to become more rare and something to be proud of.

Or rather, when more people start to become active...

I might, maybe. Make a suggestion thread.

Always the optimist.

I think it's retarded how you have to buy one upgrade to get to the next one. You should just be able to buy it as it is.
