I do not know about AakZaki and the time he applied, but I know of
crwth,
skarais and
myself. Before the three of us applied, total merit sources were 111, while still 111 till today. No one among the three has been accepted.
I came across the merit source app from AakZaki when I started checking the first 10-15 page of meta a while ago before I created a thread. So I also don't know whether the application is accepted or not before I know that the number of merit source is still 111 users until now.
Regarding merit application, I think theymos as admin must have their reason for not responding to it and considering it too. So, it is reasonable to expect some added users to be a merit source as the number of forum users increases. Previously I have supported your application as well, so I hope that you can also be added to the next merit resource by theymos.
