    Firstly, the links on the first post here are a bit broken. Maybe a lot broken.

    Secondly, I know Mason isn't exactly around any more, but perhaps we could have this topic updated? Post a new topic or something...?

    Lastly... 21 likes... I think I have a build that hit Legendary Master rank already. A very nice thing to see from coming back from being away.

    I second this, definitely needs to be updated. I've got a quick idea about that too. Maybe what we could do is break it into sections, with new pages being posted for each of the sections just so it's a bit easier to navigate. At the moment that page is really massive and now we'll be adding another category to it that requires another batch of explanations but it might work better to instead create multiple pages that can all still be based in the Archives, just cut up a little more. 

    So we'd have Playstyle Tags (maybe add Races here too) as one page, Rank tags as another page and then another which could be the rest of it (so linking and tagging Events/Contests and the Misc Tags).

    Dunno, just an idea. It would make reading through that for specific information a lot easier IMO but maybe there's something to be said for it all to be in one place.

    @ Soly:  those links just happen whe you add colons between words on Social Engine they don's actually link to anything they are just to iterate the new ranks proper links and tags will be added to the archives soon

    @soly and DB:  Speaking of the archives I am working on a new archive page that will replace the old one.  I think keeping the archive all on one page is better since is just means one stickied topic instead of two or three.  I try to keep the number of stickied subjects to a minimum since I don't want stickies to override new content.

    thanks for the ideas though since I also agree that right now the archives feel sort of rambly and some of the links are broken too I think.  I'm working on it and will try to have a new archive up in the next few days if not today.  Just need some free time to do it.

    This has given me a thought -- we have a few builds that are rounding 30 and even 40, so why don't we have a long-term goal included as a 6th rank, at say, 50 likes? It can come complete with a fancy badge and title and everything.

    I think this is perfect. With the average amount of likes per build, this is a good representation of the "quality" of the build based on likes. Good setup!

    Also a great idea.

    And if we're naming the ranks after Skyrim Difficulty levels... well, that sixth level is Legendary. Bring back the Legendary rank confirmed?

    That said I would definitely make it explicitly clear that SE Legendary, if pegged at 50 likes, is really, really insanely difficult to get on a build these days. That it really shouldn't be treated anything like the other five ranks.

    That was the idea I was basically going for. It's really insanely difficult to get, but not at all impossible. It should be hard to get. "SE: Legendary" makes sense, and it can be used almost as a tribute. Besides, the Vault's legacy is grounded in the word "Legendary," so the seo from having that rank should allow us to reap some extra rewards.

    Some interesint ideas here.  I like the idea of a Legendary rank with a 50 like threshold.  I haven't had the time to update the archives just yet but I am working on them.  Probably won't be until next week sometime that I actually update them.  So with the addition of a Legendary rank does everyone like the look of these new ranks?

    I like the idea of a 'SE: Legendary Rank' it does feel like the kind of next step to making the ranks complete and it's not an impossible task. I would check to see the highest like count if nobody actually has 50, then it might be a good idea to tone it down to 40 which might be a little more plausible.
