So, a suggestion was made that too many are peaking with the post ranks. At first I didn't really care. But then I read Equinox's post in which she displayed her sadness that she would never get a new rank. I could sympathize. So here's my idea for ranks after Nephalem:
The only thing that might be higher than a Nephalem (maybe not in power according to lore, but at the very least, status)would be an angel or a demon.
I suggest that once a user hits a certain K of posts, he/she gets to decide which side they want to be on. The ranks might look something like this:
Good .............. Bad Angel............... Demon
Arch Angel....... Demon Overlord
Maybe there could be individual forums for each side?
Do you have any thoughts as to what should be after Nephalem or if anything at all?

I'm pretty sure that's impossible with what we have now. Actually I'm positive.
It would require some sort of choice making prompt, and also change your usergroup after said choice is made.
I also don't like the idea personally because a Nephalem is the offspring of a angel/demon. So to be able to go from mixed to pure seems backwards.
Then what would come after Nephalem?

What we'd have to do really is move Nephalem up further and put some things in between, or perhaps just increase the post count needed for each rank, or just redo them all together.
We'll have to see what our options are when we get to this part.

But you also have to remember that a Nephalem is the most powerful of all humans, the beings created when an angel and a demon did the dirty. It would make sense for it to be insanely difficult to reach such a title.
There should be more ranks, if that's what your saying then I agree with you. But if your saying that it shouldn't be so difficult to get to Nephalem, then I don't agree with you. o.O
Well actually, Nephalem may be the most powerful beings ever. But status wise the angels still are higher.

Actually, ancient, que hegan, and nephalem are all the same thing according to the books and d2 lore.
I'm not so sure about that.

Que Hegan was said to be a khejistani variant of the term and the ancients even say they are nephalem.
We are the spirits of the Nephalem, the Ancient Ones. We have been chosen to guard sacred Mount Arreat, wherein the Worldstone rests. Few are worthy to stand in its presence. Fewer still can comprehend its true purpose. Before you enter, you must defeat us.
No, they are the spirits of Nephalem. They were valiant warriors chosen by the Nephalem to gaurd the WorldStone Keep.

Well, are they even dead? They were chosen when they were alive. Were they not preserved so they could guard for an eternity?

Nephalems are the entire first generation of humans.
And the Ancients are not the first generation of man.

Well the books say that the worldstone was implemented by inarius in order to slowly subdue the power of the nephalem. I bet Inarius also charged the ancients with protecting it.
Wouldn't you kind of have to have more people at the top end of the post spectrum to justify something like having a rank after Nephalem?
As far as I can tell there is what, 4 people with over 8000 posts. Trying to remember what Nephalem rank kicks in at. Was it 8000 or 10000?
Nephalem is a pretty cool title and you have to (kinda) work for it. I can't really think of anything that would fit to be above Nephalem in rank.
Edit...
Uh I think I had some posts moved around. I was sure I was short of 10000 posts last time I was here. Now i have 10411.
