Merit Refugees

[nndep3m]

A lot of us have acquired the activity we need to rank up, but do not have the post quality required to receive enough merit to gain our new ranks.  We are the first of the merit refugees, who missed the boat to rank up in time before the merit system was implemented.

Anyone else here a merit refugee? Should we form a club? Not to be hostile to anyone here, I think the forum does a great job and the merit system is great, however reality is what it is, and we are the refugees and will probably be stuck at our current ranks forever. So perhaps we can at least find solace in one another.

Who is with me here, I say?
