For every Pris and TML there's two Logan's or Formx's. Lots of inside jokes and chirps that might drive some people away. Furthermore, the progression can seem slow for people who just want to jump in and have fun (I have an idea for an Unlimited League that I'll need to explore further before bringing anything else to light), and a lot of people just can't or won't keep up with the weekly demands that the PT's and earning money commands.

Actually, league was more active back in the day when toxicity was even higher than it is now. The fights brought a lot of people to the forum, it was normal to see 100+ members in a fight thread, and they would often hit a ton of pages in a day

The glory days...

It's unfortunate AC's are really the only metric. For example, I'm active on the forums, as a GM, etc. but I didn't do AC's for about 2 months because I was busy and was feeling a bit burnt out on Bent. I wasn't inactive, I just wasn't doing them. There might be others like me who are active in their jobs and community but don't update every week/aren't TPE cum guzzlers

Unfortunately, it's really the only metric to use, as it's the easiest way to test activity
