For me at Valued, the number of Posts is my driver.
I exceed Super with my current Minutes and Mega with my Sign-ins.
I know this is old but do you know what "perks" come with each rank? I know some give you the ability to add picture, text, or signatures. I was wondering if there are certain things only they can do or is it just a fancy title on your profile? lol

I don't think kudos received has much to do with it as some of the super contributors have under 1500 received and a low percentage of posts to kudos. To me anything over 20% is good because that means much of what you say is of some value.Best I can telll the rankings are primarily based on # posts and minutes on-line. You need a certain minimum posts and minutes on-line to get to the next level. Others posters have presented data indicating # of sign-ins may be a factor as well. Kudos is not a factor nor is time since 1st sign-in. [system glitch on 7/22/2016 reset minutes on line dropping rank for many posters.]
A breakdown of minimum posts (and minutes on-line) for each rank is shown below. Not much data on sign-ins. [note: visitor rankings appear to follow the same QTY for posts as member rankings].
Added column with potential minimum on-line minutes based on glitch data. "Tested" thresholds for Established Member, Valued Member, New Contributor, Contributor, Regular Contributor and Frequent Contributor. [On-line minutes threshold over 3600 for Established Contributor per my data and feedback from SJ. On-line minutes threshold for Valued Contributor is around 8000 per Elim feedback]. Legendary threshold added 1/2018 based on Robert EG rank change.
Added column for sign-ins. Sign-in data reported for new member, established member and new contributor ranks

Legendary Contributor 30,000 350,000? 10,000? Can confirm for Contributor rank I just hit 75 posts and received the rank level increase, but my sign-ins are only at 81 so the sign-in number might be lower than 100
I hit Established Contributor at exactly 500 posts a couple of weeks ago, logins are now at 454, minutes are 23k so well over the minutes for that level, but not quite the logins the chart suggests.
I'm pretty sure Super Contributor is at least 5100 posts.
I'm at 5114 and well-in-excess of 75,000 (152,425 - enough for MEGA) minutes and 3,000 (3,636) sign-in's, yet I'm still showing as "Senior." I'll try to update again it eventually rolls over. I'm thinking it might be in the next 500 or so posts.
@Aim_Highlook at @CreditMagic7 19,000 and still not Mega. Another metric may have been lacking so far. Your next step will be Super. Post do more than anything. @Thomas_Thumb knows. Never seen anyone jump a spot. Sometimes I wonder if "replies" kicks it.
Well Total Board Views don't seem to mean diddle...........

@Aim_High Total replies for me when I turned Super was around 5500. @M_Smart007 posted on my Venmo approval Feb 2021 informing/congratulating me on my rank up. I just counted the pages since then, total number of replies/posts since then and it comes to roughly 1170. 39 pages x 30 posts/page.
Thanks @FireMedic1 and @GApeachy. Yeah, I'm thinking 5500 to 6000 will probably tip the scales for me. All my other stats are pretty high so they shouldn't be holding me back. Oddly enough, it looks like this message will be my "5,000th" reply (and post number 5,129) ... so I'll let you know if it trips the switch! Lol
