Larry, I don't know the exact criteria, but I've seen people who haven't posted or commented in several months and their profiles are still "active."

Larry, could it be that the bloggers themselves made their profile inactive?  I'm parked until someone who knows comes along.   

It might be that their profiles where deactivated, or erased.  Some people are not posting information or even active anymore for their own reasons and you can still read their blogs and posts.

Larry, I don't know the criteria either, but I guess they forgot how great this site is. 

I think you have to deactivate your profile and /or blog otherwise it just goes on  and on and on....

Maybe they are taking the fine wine approach..... leave it be and let it age. "Maybe it will get better with time"

Hey Larry. Maybe their profiles were deactivated by the powers that be at AR. If you don't get an answer here, you might want to contact AR to see what the deal is.

Thanks all...you're no different than me....you all have great ideas, but no real answers.....such is life...thanks everyone.

I am parking to see if we can get the answer to this, interesting!

We'll watch you Renee

Hey Larry,

    Great question! I too, don't have an answer. This just keeps me motivated to keep contributing to active rain.
