For example :
Legendary (airdropped) remains the same as before.
Legendary achieved without airdropped merits (coin color change).
Legendary who earned over 1000 merits after airdropped merits - maybe call them Legendary Veteran.
It is too complicated and makes forum ranks, badges look more messy. I don't support it.
I visited some other forums as a guest and saw their ranks, badges are abundant, unnecessary colorful and messy so I don't think I need it in Bitcointalk.
It's not that the forum has too many Legendary members that my idea would look
"unnecessarily colorful and messy" if nothing would change for some, others would get a change in the color of one coin, and the third would get the title of Legendary Veteran. I think that this idea is much more acceptable than that of depriving some Legendary members of that rank if they have not earned x amount of merit in x years or something similar.
