Don't give up mate I am pretty sure that you will be one of the merit sources here in the forum someday if theymos will add some merit source then hoping you are one of them. But for now, all we need to do is to wait for the response of our administrator cause we all know it takes too long like what other applications did last year or even for the past 3 years. There's no response yet but still hoping for those worthy users.
Waiting can get tedious sometimes, but it's the only option for anyone applying as a merit source once the forum has a number of merit sources selected by admin. I don't know how many times an application will be reviewed and it will be decided whether it is accepted or not, but as long as the admin doesn't respond there is always a possibility.
But by the way, is it true that the merit source has decreased again? As I remember, the previous source was 111, but now it's only 110.
