Since you have find a post that worth to be merited, but you don't have any merit, it means drop in forum activity isn't a problem. Drop in forum activity is a problem if you don't find enough good post that need to be merited.

It's true the current activity was drop since 2022 by half, but I feel like the distribution was fine than this year (weekly merit stats).

I think it's not because lack of merit sources, but it's because most people share their merit among their own gangs or locals. This is why users outside from the gangs or locals won't receive merits. Imagine if new approved merit sources are among of those gangs or locals? merit distribution will increase only in their own gangs or locals, which means the problem won't be solved.

The problem will be solved if:
1. Encourage all users to send merit without need to check the names, locals, gangs etc.
2. Promoting the best #1 users into merit sources.

Sources may be spending more of their time looking at the newer members of the forums posts and meriting them?

Is merit spending becoming more and more scarce lately?
Could some folks please help us with the stats? @LoyceV, @DdmrDdmr @tranthidung

It's true though but not all your points listed above are totally correct. The possible cause of the low merit supply, may be due to some members holding their spendable merits. Or there's just not much meritable posts from their own point of view to merit. Also, the no of merits source has reduces lately, with some being inactive or no longer available on the forum. And as far as I'm concerned, there have been so many merit source applications over the years but non of them have been approved till now. I guess the admin has some reasons for that decision. But still, it wouldn't make any sense if members are holding their spendable merits. Yes no one has the right to tell you how to spend your merit, but holding them back is totally wrong because if others had held them, you probably won't earn them.

As of your last point,the forum activity haven't actually dropped because using the LoyceV activity stat,
past 7 days, you will see here that there's a total of

Which seems to be a good stats of the forum activity. So the low merit circulation may probably be from the reasons I stated ( holding of spendable merit and low activity of merit sources). I hope the admin visits and approve some new merit source applications.

Is merit spending becoming more and more scarce lately?

I couldn't surely be the only one noticing this. Most of the time, I find posts worth meriting, but I can't, because in most cases I have zero sMerits, something that was rare to me in the past. I know about reporting them to some threads, but it gets tiring if I can't even have 1 sMerit every other time I see a post.

Not that I am a perfect merit earner or poster. I am just an average member and from this perspective, to me, it seems there has either been;
A. Depletion of spendable merits among members like me due to low merit circulation.
B. A drop in the number of active merit sources.
C. A drop in forum activity.

Theymos could you please look into this? I don't remember the last time you approved new merit sources.
