I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
if an account has been inactive for a while like 8 weeks, if it starts posting again can it get the 56 activity it could have got in the time or only 14?
It doesn't work like that, and for good reason. If it did work like that everybody could create 10+ accounts and then just let them sit for a year or so and start posting again and become a Sr. Member or similar instantly. You have to post during every 2 week period to get the activity increase.
That was my interpretation of it at least. Each post is worth 1 activity, up to a cap of 14 which is reset every ~2 weeks. There is no banking of points or potential mentioned anywhere.

it depends. you need to atleast post once every 2 week period so you can save atleast 14 activity points on each period. if you are inactive for 8 weeks then you already lost 56 activity
its all about posting in 2 weeks period.
if you are active but not posting... you cant earn activity point. but if you post when you active, 28 is the correct answer for you. but if you dont send any post in that 8 weeks, you ll start from 14 activity point

From the meta sticky:
The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every hour.

Only 14. It doesn't compile. That activity that you didn't claim is lost.

It'll get 28. 14 from 8 week back and 14 now. But, u'll see that only when your post count is > 27.
