I completely agree. Barring some extraordinary events happening, it is not hard for somebody to post one comment every two months. Even if somebody couldn't do it, all they have to do to become active again is to post a freebuild.Ferretclaw wrote:Yes, true. I am just saying that this is if we go by the rules AK put out for us. I agree that six months is a very generous amount of time, and that it should be three or four. I also agree that the two said factions should remain closed for a while. And I still say that if all the guys that posted cics recently built a free build or something it would really help out. Cics are great, and there have been some really cool ones (lol mine was extremely simple) but I dont think it really counts as being active. Heck some guys just post a pic of a fig holding a flag and then disappear for a month. By my definition that is not active.
I think active should be decided by a build within 3 months (maybe four) or a post within the last one or two months.
Needless to say, if someone has not been active for a while, but they decide to come back later on, they can play some more and will be added to the "active" list, so being active just decides the number of active members in a faction, nothing more. I also think that we should have two lists on the main post of the sign up thread, and each faction thread: a list of total members, and a list of active members.
Six months is just too long of a timeframe for someone to be away and still be considered "active".
