I disagree, respectively. You're right when you say that the ranks have to be exclusive, but not just for the rich kids. That'd turn this amazing forum into a HF copycat. However, SL still needs to make some money, so there needs to be a balance between keeping the prices reasonable and still making significant amounts of money for Oni. The best solution that comes to mind is keeping the price dynamic, based on a user's stats, ranks, and contributions. You were right when you said that it shouldn't be based on the time registered as then it could be abused. For me, personally what I want is a figure that I can save up to in order to get gold. I don't work as of yet, so the money I make is through thinking of ideas, spending time and then making something.

I also disagree respectively. Every kid on HF has UB3R and they throw their power around and it's the main reason why the forum is shit. It needs to be exclusive for the sole purpose that kids can't do just that. No kid has 90$ to throw at the forum, but if they do happen to actually have that money they have to be dedicated to put that much into the forum. I agree a slight discount would work for posts but it shouldn't be crazy, maybe 25% per 1k posts up to a max of 50%. The reason that Legends got a discount is because they helped support the forum a ton and they earned their right to a discount. I can probably only pick 5-6 regular users that actually deserve the discount, and the others that should get it already do. I also think that staff or mods should get like 50% off but we don't really have much staff so it doesn't really matter. Anyways, I leave the decision up to @Oni but I still think we should keep the ranks fairly exclusive. Though I would like to note if I do see someone that really deserves the rank but can't afford it, I'll probably just upgrade them myself.
