Someone in late 2000 or early 2001 was posting rumors of AA instituting higher qualification levels and a fourth tier. Of course, they had gotten the information for "reliable sources inside of AA."

The tiers they proposed were 30k, 60k, 90k and 120k.

Months later, after the original poster claimed the new levels were definitely going to be implemented (but of course were not) I brought the topic to the top, but strangely received no response from the original poster.
