I suggest that those who managed to achieve the position of rank 1, 2 or 3 in their lifetime should have the rank and medal appear under there avatar and possibly the date of when it was achieved. I think this would be a great idea as there is currently no proper way of telling the history of the leader-boards. It also would give players old and new some well deserved recognition.
Another way to solve this issue would be to do monthly or seasonal news posts of the leader-boards and keep the results in an archive somewhere on the site. For instance, create a sub section under the Ladder drop down menu called Hall of Fame where the monthly or seasonal news post reside.
Hi guys,
I think that would be a great idea. You guys ever played command and conquer? Especially the Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 2 Yuris Revenge (I played that for many years) have a quite similar leader board as the proposed from Hans. The game is now about 14! years old but there are still some ppl playing and there is still a ladders as you can find here:

-> the badges u got from ladders show up in lobby (like in COH1)

The ladders in combination with badges (badges for ladder points, NOT badges for compstomp as @ COH2) @ RA2 is what the game keeps alive - many ppl played just to get a blue badge (as many ppl just played to get badges @ COH1).
Even though COH ladders and RA2 ladders have much in common, there is one huge difference. At RA2 once a month there is a ladders reset. So all people start again with 0 Points and no badge. Its like a league in soccer and I think it would be great to count the times one got into TOP 10 or one was the winner of ladders. It also would be great to have some sort of different leagues (1st, 2nd, 3rd) where u can be promoted or relegated. And then show the times you won a league within the players profile - that would be so amazing and long time motivating. What do you guys think? If you need further information how the ladder-system worked @ RA2 just page me.
To cut it short, Hans I am with you and I would pay money to have this feature included .
Cheers,
