Even some new merit sources have been added which is definitely good news. But the number of merit sources has been reduced which is definitely bad news. Maybe it would have been a good decision to replace the inactive merit sources with some new active and sensible members as merit sources. Because the forum lacks merit sources who will read the posts regularly and give merit to the deserving posters. Although there is an alternative thread for this, I think it would be better for active merit sources to find the posts and give merit than to report the posts.
I don't see reduced number of merit sources as bad news. I think it's better to have 88 merit source who is actually active, than having over 100 when significant part of them is inactive. Offcourse, it would be best to have 109 actually active merit source, but maybe theymos don't see enough right people for it.
