    Ok then in your opinion what would be the limit without mods or anyone posting 5 6 7 8 months? Like askhistorians? I let it go for about a week and still found I was the only one posting. Not to mention its ran by someone who calls themselves a karmabot…I don’t mean to sound like a dick but just wondering.

      I’m not sure this is the same problem as a community that has gone offline or was scrubbed in some way. A community that’s inactive or not being properly maintained sounds like a different kind of problem. In this case, we mainly just hope that the federative design means such communities eventually get replaced by people who want a better community, possibly on another server entirely.

      I can imagine someone writing a bot or script to detect dead communities.
