Previously, one attained the highest user rank after you reached 500 posts. Back when YWS was first created, that worked fine. However, there are now 78 members with more than 500 posts, so that doesn't work as well anymore.
So four new ranks have been added:
1000 posts: Master of the Forum
2500 posts: Epic Novelist
5000 posts: Writer of Legend
10000 posts: *secret*
Currently, only two people have reached 5000 posts, and no one will reach 10000 posts for at least a year (possibly two... if ever!). However, there is a new rank for whenever you reach that number!
