If they did introduce a Lifetime Silver at the level you quote I'd qualify although I haven't been Silver or Gold for 8 years. I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell of then introducing that but I can but dream.
Perhaps I should have been a little clearer - I meant 'perpetual silvers' - e.g. those that scrape past every year without ever getting to gold.
But this is also why I think the bar would be set higher - e.g. what does the average silver end at every year and then go from there. I suspect that's also what they did with LTG - what's the average gold-y ending at every year and then working out how many years they'd want to give it over and rounding up.
I would strongly suspect the answer for silvers is somewhere around 900-1000 ... that'd be my guess ... hence why it'd be about 20 years from there - so about 20k.
But - like anyone else on here - I'm picking random numbers and guesses.
