Bitcointalk is more than ten years old, and in this time it is safe to assume that with the rhythm of everyday life, some users have left, some have died, some opened multiple accounts for fun. Some were red tagged and lost interest, some were demoted during the recent merit requirement and got discouraged. And there is a number of other reasons for an inactive account
The figures aren't anything unexpected in my opinion

I'm much worried if more than 50% of those active members are just bounty abusers.Yet only 13.50605615% active profiles makes me anxious.

It is really a great statistics. Base on last 3 months report it is sure that rate of inactivity will increase more. And I thought large number of people are brand new but chart showing more than my thinking. In this case I am optimistic. I think real active members are many more than the chart I mentioned. As we have to deduct brand new from the list.
Bear in mind too the definition of active. Vod’s BPIP considers a user active if he has logged-in within the last three months. That is therefore the context of the data you are looking at.
There is also an interesting post that analysis activity, created by mazdafunsun (see The real activity of bitcointalk.org + full stats). This post shows the data by rank, and compares four different criteria:
- Logged-in in the last 3 months.
- Logged-in in 2018.
- Logged-in and posted in the last 3 months.
- Logged-in and posted in 2018.
These criteria are easily comparable in a single table in the referenced post:
As you can see, those who have created a post over the last three months are way lower than just having logged-in, and the amount of Newbie accounts is abysmal. The number of Newbies that post is really large, although it likely groups Newbies, demoted Jr. Member and bot accounts.
Having said that, it does look like there is a lot of potential for growth, and perhaps some focus will be placed there at some point (sem/seo, etc.). It also denoted that merit should be easier to obtain than one would have thought, since the number of active forum members that actually post is less than one may have had in mind.
Note: We also need to consider the amount of readers who browse the forum while lacking an account.

Good to see the numbers and just a proof that the enhanced rules really affect those spammers and had a thought they won't get throughout here. Like obviously, they got dismayed that they can't earn anymore with some bucks here and so it will be useless to stay.
So don't be bother everything is doing fine, so far.

1% active members with high quality posts is better than 100% of spammers.
13% out of 2 million is more than 260.000 active members which is more than enough for this forum to hold on and to keep its reputation as the biggest source of information related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

The forum is here from November 2009,
Now we are soon November 2018... so for 9 years many have left the ship and all together with the farm/bot/spam/scam accounts got banned, 13% is quite a good number.
Keep in mind that even the creator left the ship back in the day.

According to last update of BPIP,
Total Bitcointalk account created: 2,447,428
Deleted Profiles: 15,799
Archived Profiles: 1,585,624
Inactive Profiles: 507,163
Active Profiles: 330,551
According to above quantity only 13.50605615% profiles are active. I know many profiles opened and never been used as bitcoitalk fee for spam activity. Yet only 13.50605615% active profiles makes me anxious. Is it regular activity or it is increasing recently? Percentage of active profile will increase or decrease more?
