I recently asked him if he had become a merit source since I wanted him to visit our local board (India) and award some sMerits to deserving topics or posts. He replied that his application had not been approved. I was very disappointed, as he submitted his application long ago.
Don't feel too much disappointed to be frank you're not the only one but what can we all do, nothing but wait until Theymos to speak on this issues and at least accept some of the piling applications for some years now.
He is known for his good reputation, which is evident from the numerous positive conversations he engages in on various local boards as well as the abundance of positive feedback he has received. I firmly believe that he is well-suited to become a merit source, and I fully support his application, just as I did for TheUltraElite. I kindly ask @Theymos to review both applications, as individuals like these two are the reason why users like myself remain active on the forum.
Many of the forum members who have applied has a good reputation including him but we all are still waiting till when Theymos will decide to speak about all these.
Most LB needs merit source and this side of the forum I can say has been among the part most lacking merit source or allocation and sadly we're still waiting for Theymos to respond to us either by giving more allocation to merit source in the LB or add more merit source there.
