Because activity is calculated according to a certain formula, which takes into account "number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration". Therefore, the number of activity on the forum will always be less than the number of posts written. You can read more about it in this topic
Activity & new membergroup limits.
Let me quote it for visibility - but OP also shouldn't ignore this thread to find out how it works:
FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and meritThe activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Rough summary of what this means: If you post once per day on average, then you will eventually get the maximum number of activity points that you can get. Posting more than once per day on average is useless for increasing activity. The maximum number of activity points you can get is 1 per day, but your activity score only updates every two weeks. Therefore, it will take about 100 days to get 100 activity if you post once per day on average.Activity is updated every hour.
The new membergroup limits work like this: (
Edit: Obsolete, do not use)
| Group | Requirement |
| Brand New | 0 posts |
| Newbie | (none) |
| Jr. Member | activity: 30 |
| Member | activity: 60 |
| Full Member | activity: 120 |
| Sr. Member | activity: 240 |
| Hero Member | activity: 480 |
| Legendary | occurs randomly between 775 and 1030 activity |
I'm not 100% sure that the membergroups work correctly. Tell me if you see any bugs.
OP - You need to read as often as possible the topics pinned to the top of all certain boards, they can help you know the rules or maybe important information. If you read - then you don't need a special thread to ask. Of course you can ask questions as long as you are still confused - but try to read first.
