Just imagine if theymos will introduce a 1 earned merit requirement to display signature for all accounts no matter the rank

I bet in a month you will see those numbers triple, especially since most merit sellers have probably depleted their stash.
It was also my sugestion few weeks ago:
What to say.. Life isn't always fair..
It was said a thousand times that one merit isn't much so everybody can achieve it...
But in fact we could be more fair... Let's rise every rank requirements for 1 merit
jr. member - 1 merit,
member - 11 merits,
full member - 101 merits,
senior member - 251 merits,
hero member - 501 merits,
legendary - 1001 merits
I think it would be really FUN to see some high ranked users fighting to "EARN" their first merit ever ;-)
Anyhow when you talk about "abandoned" are those both inactive and banned account or just inactive.
Would be some nice stats to see plagiarism quantified in $
Firstly I planed to diverse it, but unfortunetly this database doesn't contain data about bans (honestly I tried to find such data somwhere else but didn't manage to do it), so as I wrote in my post "abandoned" means inactive for any reason (bans, hacked, lost password, true abandon etc.).
