Okay, so I went through the options and user-created groups aren't possible with MyBB. Public groups are but they need to be created by an admin.
As for DKYG badges, I'm leaning against it. It's nothing personal against any of you guys but since this is a joint effort between a couple of sites, we'd then need to make tSR badges as well and then pretty much everyone would have something there and it would require a lot of manual group moving. I realize you guys are actually migrating here entirely and tSR is not, and that's something I'll take into consideration but I'd like to discuss it with the rest of staff first.
What I may do, if some sort of DYKG original designation is deemed appropriate, is create a publicly-joinable group with moderated members, assign one of the originals (maybe you, Cuccos, or the one who originally suggested it?) the moderator position of the group, and have them approve joins from original members so I don't actually have to keep shuffling people around.
However, like I said, this isn't a definite thing. Just a proposed solution should it become definite in the future.
Oh, and as for downloadable mobile apps, are you talking about the forum or the site as a whole? Forum-wise, there's a special mobile theme that works well already. Site-wise, it does function on mobile devices but can be a little difficult to navigate on small screens, I admit. I'm not familiar enough with iOS or Android programming to create a native app though.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that you can, in the mean time, obviously use your custom title to display your DYKG original status.
