Inactivity

[wesley54]

Just wondering how long the inactivity period is before someone is stripped of their VIP status? Because lately, there have been no threads that have interested me. Boards go through slow periods sometimes, especially with it being the summer and all......

So I have been forcing myself to post in certain threads just so I won't get hit with the inactivity script. So how many days is it before you get stripped of VIP?

But I do log in daily, so I have no prob staying active when I see threads that interest me.

there is no easy way to explain it, so ill try the best i can. if you look under your reputation bar in each post you see your activity meters. if you hold the mouse over the green/yellow bar under activity it shows your activity percent. you can also see this by clicking stats in the navbar.

under the activity bar in each post is a bar for today's activity. The green dot is for visiting the forum. the yellow dots are for each post. the way you make your activity go up and down is from those two bars. if your activity bar is lets say 31% and your today bar says that today you have 25% of possible points then your activity would go down a small amount (like .5% at most) if you were to not post again today.

the today bar resets at midnight EST time. so if your current activity was 31% and your total points for today was at 25% and the time reached midnight EST, your activity would go down a little bit.

the thing i am not sure on is HOW much activity can drop/rise in one 24 hour period...i thinks its like .5% or 1% max per 24 hours period.

if your activity falls to a certain level (which no one except me knows) VIP status is automatically pulled. to get it back you must raise activity to another level (again only known to me)

hope that wasnt too confusing

also for the today bar, visiting the site once per day counts as 10% activity, you can visit the site 100 times in a day and it only counts as 10% maximum for your today bar. (the green dot) Each posts represents one yellow dot, meaning at around 8 or 9 posts you have reached 100% for the day.
