So sad, it's seem merit source that help out in this thread no longer have any interest or have decided to go cold. after going through previous page of the thread it's seem active users that help out like @the cryptovator, yahoo62278, Ratimov and other merit source have abandoned the thread if not there are loads of applications that need merit and some of these folks are actually good posters too.
I am not a merit source, I just earn a decent amount of merit from my posts normally. I went cold due to the amount of accounts that end up being connected and are ultimately ban evaders or scammers trying to start over or increase the farm.
This thread started with good intentions, but I think too many bad people have found it.
