I am attempting to create additional user groups, I can add everyone to the additional user group but myself, I belong to the Administrator User Group. 

What am I doing wrong here?

If you are a Simple:Press admin you don’t need to add your self to a group.

Administrators do NOT belong to a User Group and do NOT require permission being assigned to them. By their very nature, forum Admins are granted total and unrestricted access although their activities within the forum admin panels can be restricted

Strange that you can not have additional groups for admins though. I am run a Madden Football online league/website. I want to create usergroups for different occasions during the the season such as winning the Super Bowl. Those created user groups display a special rank badge in the forums created by, such as a trophy. 

Many of my users also double as administrators on the site. Is there a plugin that will do let me create custom ranks that I can assign per user and not per # of posts?

The Special Forum Ranks admin panel at forum admin > Components > Forum Ranks is where you can set up user level rankings with badges etc.
