Some of the replies here focuses on overall activity. Even though being active is a requirement, it does not reflect the ability of the applicant himself.
I believe some of the players here, like me, lurk around the forums without posting frequently. Moreover, movement of the forums is rather slow lately, and it doesn't give him the opportunity to post at all. Hence, the "low" activity level.
Looking at the current situation, if we were to bring up our activity level by participating in "forumers events" or "off-topic" posts, some may misinterpret it as spamming instead of helping.
To be fair to future applications, I hope you will not put so much focus on "overall activity" until the forums gets back to its former glory.
