These are three lists of those close to ranking-up, lacking less than 20% merits to reach their goal (Activity is reached in all cases (*), they just lack merits):
Man, you are the data guru (along with LoyceV, of course). I appreciate the links and I'm going to pay particular attention to the members who are close to ranking up to Full Member. Don't know what I'll find when I start checking post histories, but we'll see.
Even easier would be to use iasenko's list, which I'll also do. Sure would be nice if Theymos filled up my source sMerits, because I'm running relatively low on my personal ones. Don't know if he looked at that thread about merit sources who need more sMerits, but hopefully he did and is considering it.
