But I think it would be easier if there were a BUNCH of factors that could contribute, like say there's a point-based scale where you would need 1000 to become veteran. There could be factors such as:

Every 1 billion GTS = 100 points
Every 1000 forum posts = 150 points
Every 6 months on the site = 150 points
Every 5000 FFR Games played = 150 points
Every token (skill/reg) = 15 points
Maybe something for profile votes or MP games

I think it should be a high points goal with a ton of possibilities. This way, the amount of work is more equal. If someone plays the game a ton and doesn't go on the forums, they could rely on the game metrics of the point scale and they wouldn't have to go whore posts in the forums. If someone's more social and on the forums, they could obtain Veteran Status by racking up points with posts/profiles and wouldn't have to play the game if they don't want.

Subtracting from 7 years just seems odd to me, but the concept is great.

Oh, and additional rewards for people who rock the forums and the game
