Active vs Inactive

Define "Active"

The word "active" is very subjective here. Is the person who plays once a month "active?" Is the person who is away for the summer but will return in the fall "active?" Is the player who is gone for two years but returns next week going to be "active?"

I try to not label someone as either, but instead note the number of players who have been seen in multiplayer within a certain span of time. The community can judge and decide, similar to the meta of a game. I'm simply offering truth through statistics to help others be better informed.
