Member cards and inactive members

[indigo]

*facepalm* This is why I shouldn't post when I'm sick.

So after spamming the begging section with like 200 posts in people's take mine-leave yours member card threads, I JUST THEN thought to look and see if these people were members anymore. Most of them aren't.

Thing is, you haven't designated which member cards are retired on the member card page. So I don't want to cheat or anything, especially when it'd be such a quick mastered deck, but are any of these acceptable to take if I leave mine? Or do they have to be 100% active? Can they be members but hiatused? What are the rules here?

Thanks and I hope I haven't made too big an arse of myself.

They are more-than-likely not on hiatus. If you look at "Northwind," her card is faded out to denote she isn't around anymore, but I admit I'm not the one that keeps up with this.

It's okay Indigo. We recently made a change so no worries.

If their card is on the member card page, it counts towards your 20, even if it's faded out like Northwind's. The whole "can I take it even if they're on hiatus?" thing is up to the member, really. If it says so on their post, then yes. If not, then you just can't get their card until they come back. =P
