not active for a week or more

This can be a definite drawback to listing these activity levels.
...
This activity level thing can cause miscommunication. I do not like it at all.

In the last three days, every one of my daily matches has not been active in a week or more, and 13 of them have not been active in over three weeks! This had never happened before. I didn't close them all immediately, as was my first inclination, fearing that it is yet another weird EH technical glitch.

That doesn't bode well...
My guess is that your Active Matches are petering out, and so they are sending you the remaining Matches...

One thing that I find weird about this new Time Stamp stuff...

I had always assumed the eHarmony would tailor their daily Matches to include mostly Active matches, but toss in a couple inactive ones each day as well.

My thinking behind that is, that:
1) They want to extend the amount of "live" Matches you would get to as far as they can. Thus, instead of 7 "live" matches, they would send you 5 + 2, each day. Most people wouldn't notice that 2 of their Matches were "dead", yet this would extend the Active Matches out by an extra day each week.
2) They want to still try to get those inactive members to come back. If these inactive members see they get Communication with paid members once or twice, (or more) a week, this might get them to come back and pay up.


What I am finding is that they rarely send me anyone that is Inactive beyond Today or Yesterday.
Which means I am going to eventually run out of Active members, and then they will have no choice but to send me nothing but inactive members.
I think I would be more irritated by that, rather than getting 5 active + 2 inactive each day...
