Welp. I need to start posting more.
just posting crap isnt the idea 
As said above it has to do with amount of time the account has been active.
Welp. I need to start posting more.
With over 6000 posts I think your posting more than enough. The rank is about time not posts.

I wish I kept posting
According to the stats page, there are 350419 members and 8293716 posts, meaning an average post count of 24. Since activity is always lower than post count, that means the mean user is a Newbie-level.
Thanks for the link to the stats page, I've been looking for that!

Legendary member rank is a good idea. I think I like it. ALthough I have a long way to go to make it 
Then people will start to mass farm accounts only to drive the requeriments for higher ranks lower. You supposing people will be honest and don't try to manipulate the system, what might not be true
Not sure where you get the idea from that this will be so easy. I've seen a few accounts that very obviously are linked to a posting bot. Those posts seem to be reported (and deleted) rather quickly usually.
And if the automated approach should work, then what prevents them from using it to "farm" for high rank accounts directly (in a fixed requirement rank system).
All that said, the deviation defined rank idea looks very nice to me and has a certain nerdy appeal, but in reality, it's not really worth the effort probably. Introducing a new rank each 2 years with about twice the activity requirement is a hack, but an acceptable one imo.
But with the variance stuff, the requeriments for ranks will change every time, so many will be in one position, and next hour in another, then back the the starting one, and so for.
Will generate lots of complains and will be a pain to signature campaigns.
The current activity required for "level up" are 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, ~900 (middle of 775 and 1030).
So, maybe we will need a new rank 2 years later but then it will be 5 years and 10 years, as the activity required for the new level will be doubled every time.
Kind of a reverse way of looking at bitcoin as the coin circulation halves
The activity to the next rank on the forum doubles.
