Leaderboard D9 new name and color

[One Winged Angel]

I'm not heavily invested in the naming conventions and also haven't read through this entire thread yet, but

Very quick $0.02 without touching on anything else: Godly should be reserved for the highest division, so I'd repurpose that title for D9 and shift D8 to a title related to ascension in some capacity as a transition to Godly, like Celestial

Right now we have a majority of people voting for a single option, which is adding D9 as "Revolutionary". While I personally find some of the new suggested ideas better, I suggest that we go with the majority, even if only temporarily, just so we have D9 existing as a first step.

I agree with a few of the solutions that involve renaming/shifting lower divisions, so we should probably do that in a second step where we take all suggestions and put them in a tournament style vote battle, including a "keep things as is" suggestion.

Thoughts?

Users are very good at finding problems and very bad at solving them. I think in general, a large revamp should be discussed among the users, but the decision should come from the people who are

a) responsible for creating the new system and
b) responsible for deciding the general direction of the site

Ie: Feel free to solicit ideas from us, and talk it out with us, but don't feel like we're the actual decision making authority here on how to set it up.

No decision will make every active user happy, and picking the one that got the "most" votes in a 10 choice vote will probably make even fewer active users happy, since you could end up picking something that got like 20 votes out of 100, just because nothing else managed more than 20 votes.

For sure, and I fully agree with all of that. That being said, I'm not staff and I dont have website code access (sad), therefore my best bet is to gather as many opinions as I can, and try to keep the debates logically sound.
