I have to agree--come talk to me when "active users" is defined as once a month and, even better, once a week, like, I dunno, people that watch cable TV, etc. Defining it as once ever 8-months is patently ridiculous and was clearly arrived at to grossly inflate the numbers.

it's pretty normal to count 8 months as active.. Hotmail/Live mail set your account inactive after 8,5 months.. Google does it at 9 months.. Twitter has a 6 month policy.. Ea has 24 months.. 8 months is fine

 

 

Good enough for you? It's a common thing.

Already addressed this - email is not the same.

Compare it to other PAID services  like cable/internet/TiVo/Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu Plus - look at those and how they identify their active users.
