Signings certainly count. On Signin #11, I made "member" with 31 posts and signin #21 made me "established member"

I hit "Valued Member" today when I had my 25th post (2,900 minutes online).
It's got more to do with the number of posts, not their content, I've been on here 6 1/2 years but "only" have 2668 posts because I don't do a lot of just "congrats" as a post. Still ranked as a valued contributor .....
At $19.95 a month for 78 months ($1556) no wonder I'm "valued"
Total Signins | 9750 |
Total Minutes Online | 217846 |
How many posts until you reach the "Member" ranking?

Yes the primary factor is posts (just not those on smorgasboard). It's easier for most to reach minutes on-line and sign-ins than posts. However, there are some prolific posters that rank below what their count would suggest.
My current stats:
Posts = 2334
Sign-ins = 1901
Minutes on-line = 105,160

I'm a New Contributor now... 75 posts, 6092 minutes online, 100 signins. I'm interested to see how many signins it will take, or where the bottleneck is to rank up.
Very interesting. I didn't know time on the website counts too.
Okay I didn't receive a notification or message, but I ranked up. It was somewhere between 101-103 signins, 75 posts and 6000+ minutes.
Below is an updated table with additional data points and estimates on sign-ins. Also, I have NOT seen any Mega Contributors under 15,000 so I adjusted minimum estimate from 10,000 to 10k => 15k. - However, that's a big step up from Super. Epic and Legendary # posts are solid. Kudos are not considered in community rank nor are topics started. Also, length of time since sign-up is not a factor.
Side note: Posts on smorgasboard are not considered in community rank formulas.
Below is a partial list of perks by minimum rank. Undoubetedly it is incomplete.
Rank Perk Description | Minimum Rank Required |
Putting cards in signature | Member |
Uploading images into posts | Member |
Changing user avatar | Regular Contributor |
signaling posters using @Anonymous | Senior Contributor or Community Leader |
Page views, board views and/or messages read are likely considered in rank. I suspect page views.
