Adding onto your theory I also believe that for a member to gain the Intrepid, or Fabled member prefix they have to be here for around 2+ years. While there is one person that hasn't been here for more than a year has it(had it), other users who I see that have this title are users who have been here for awhile(Ghandi 2, Elmicker, Batzter, Cortana 5, Lord Snakie etc.).

Hmm... That theory doesn't really coordinate well with my observations. I've seen many "Intrepid" and "Fabled" members with scattered join dates ranging from 6 months to 5 years.
I used to think that "Intrepid" members were very active members with a fairly recent ban history, within the last 2 years or so, and that "Fabled" members were very active members with a clean recent ban history. Although this theory could be somewhat true, I've seen a few members that don't follow this pattern leaving me to believe that this theory might not be the case.
My other theory is that "Intrepid" members are just very active members who have sustained a daily / weekly / monthly main forum post count for a long period of time. While "Fabled" members are just very active members who have either sustained that same post count for a longer period of time, or have sustained a higher daily / weekly / monthly post count than the "Intrepid" members over the same period of time.
Well, that's my insight on the "Activity" based prefixes. Now I just need to come up with some plausible theories about the "Join Date" based prefixes. The only problem is that not many members have them since the "Ban History" and "Activity" prefixes seem to take priority, making it hard to observe the patterns of those prefixes. ^_^
