Activity rising too fast ... ! Bug?

[MissionPhailed]

Greetings ... !

Ever stood still by the fact that it only seemed yesterday that you were a kid and you've grown up so fast? Well, I've got that feeling with my account on this forum; activity has surged from 2 to 53 in only 12 days, and considering the way this forum normally calculates activity, I suspect there's a bug going on. According to my account I'm only days away of becoming a Member, while I 'should' still be a Newbie I think ... !

Thats your potential activity being "used up" , not a bug. You have posted in many activity periods.

Well, in fact I've posted in two, maybe three activity periods. There's been a long period of complete inactivity between january 2014 and october 2015.

Just remove these posts[1][2] and it should be like you expected. They are from Jan 2014 and thus giving you at least 14 points of activity. If there was a new activity period between these two posts they would give you 28 in total.

Looks like you have 56 potential activity, since you've posted during 4 activity periods ( 4 x 14 = 56) . Once you hit that activity, your activity will stop increasing until the next activity change (which I believe is due on the 9th of November). Then on the 9th you will get another 14 potential activity points, allowing you to achieve member rank with another four posts (since member rank is achieved at 60 activity).

You have posted in 4 activity periods, you'll see the activity increase , stop after you reach 56 activity.
P.S: The thread's purpose has been fulfilled, would be a good idea to lock it to avoid unnecessary discussion( unless it will involve a lot of signature spam )
Edit: Those guys got before me, but still lock this thread now.

The two posts from january 2014 are deleted. Let's see how that affects Activity. Thanks for the answers, locking this thread now ... !
