Re: Top 1000 merit receivers who were not active the past 30 days.
There are others as well who aren't on this list because they weren't top merit earners, and I'm thinking of xtraelv right off the top of my head, though there are others.
I think not much has changed in the last few months since I was interested in xtraelv's affairs, given that he continues to visit the forum, [he was online 5 days ago] but does not post anything. There was a time when I also had a break in publishing, I continued to read and surf the forum for more than a year, but did not publish anything (while I continued to feel involved in forum life).As for xtraelv, I think he will not scold me if I say that everything is fine with him ... he leads a more active lifestyle than many of us, and in his free time he works to refute the lies that CSW has been telling for years, (at least that was the case a couple of weeks ago). 
There seems to be a lot of forum members who were last active in the 300-500 days ago range on this list. I can't help but wonder if these people were somehow negatively affected by covid. My guess is that at least some of them were.
I no longer remember who exactly published the comparative statistics of forum activity and the consequences of Covid, but I can say for sure that about a year ago the numbers were in the range of 30% of the total number of inactive users (the likelihood that someone stopped visiting the forum because of Covid).
