As for 777coin and Bitvest, I don't think they should be in 'Active' category. They advertised themselves as open, get shitload of new applications (way more than free spots), most would set their sigs+avatars and effectively advertise them for free for weeks now, while Lutpin won't process application and won't give any update.
Lutpin has stated in the thread that applications are only looked at when he does payments. So anyone applying only needs to set their signature, avatar and text on that day. He is also consistent in only replying to successful applications. When I applied and was accepted into 777coin campaign a few months ago I was able to deduce that from spending 5 minutes going through the thread.
