And Lance is a huge cheater.
I personally feel that in determining post requirements for the theoretical user group (or more appropriately perk milestones), it would be better to determine a limit based on posting incentive rather than exclusivity. Something not extremely high so as to discourage users but nothing too low either (which I personally believe 2500 falls beneath).

Stressing this a bit: I am enjoying the discussions over here! Though I suggest continued discussion over the mechanics (namely and in my opinion most importantly perk brainstorming for a few reasons, along with post number milestones and the like) of these tiers and the possibility of the usergroup over things such as name colour and the like which can be decided later, though things are looking wonderful so far. I hope things can reach a consensus, as with a consensus it would be generally easier to present to the staff. It is also recommended, if a poll is to be made in the future, that the major proponents of this system encourage less vocal members to offer their opinions and submit votes. Vocal minorities should not have the only say in decisions, after all. Also, keep in mind that if there is to be a user group, from what I am understanding, it would be an end goal of the aforementioned perk incentive tiers. The primary existence of these systems would be to increase post activity after all, so I would recommend basing requirements of both milestones and the potential user group on that as well. One perk in particular that may be beyond the line a tad is the permitting of users to lock their own threads, which has the potential for some abuse. Typically the reasons such powers are reserved are due to the fact that those with the ability to use them have been generally deemed responsible enough. But I personally find some of these other perks very nice - so keep up the brainstorming!
I would consider the separation purely superficial at the moment, no? Though there is a small division yes, such a division is primarily through the small number of perks Premium members have regarding avatars and signatures (superficial by definition) and an extremely dead section that has a whiff of life from time to time. Even in this there are divisions among Premium members - they are not a completely united force (*subtly coughs at constant name colour change debates*). These perk levels would simply act as fun posting incentives - and really, the quality of one's posting should be irrelevant in regard to their usergroup or their post count.
As I said before in the preliminary stages I am in extensive approval of this. My only major applicable concern is the ability of the perks to act as incentives, which is why, I suppose, it is good that the public considers these perks in question. I have a few minor concerns, namely the brick red colour of the usergroup being a bit too close to Sectional Moderators as Amber said earlier, same with the blue to the admins I believe. Something in-between would be nice. I believe Vivi suggested a gold colour previously?
This may have been the inspiration for the Iliad, perhaps.

So Neo-Dadaism.
Please sir! Men are allowed to fangirl. What is this, the sexist 17th century with universally enforced gender expectations?!
I am not sure what this thread is anymore. I am labelling it Neo-Dadaist expression on the forum.

I am trying my hardest to grab my friends but my hand will not pass through the gosh darned computer screen! I am missing the episode!
Well now we know what Ganon is up to this time. Busy knocking everyone down.

Cosmic horrors? Lovecraft would be proud! Spirals and now planets. What is next, zombie robots roused by some sort of smelly stench? A collection of mysterious holes in the mountains? Psssh.
Oh gosh I did as well! Well it is good that we have amended this! This has happened to myself with many others a number of times as well, hm.
I ate a homo because hoes kept stealing my tacos. I dread the day when thieving farming equipment will cause me to become a cannibal.
I put the blame on the Land of Departure education system.
This thread is filled with opinions. Cosplayers are fun.
