Well, don't think that you lose the approval stamp if members went inactive. As long as it was approved, they could still be used, I think. Especially if you've already made deals.
If you wouldn't mind, please take a look at this thread when you get the chance :D
[MAIN THREAD] A Meeting of Galactic Proportions
(OOC) A Meeting of Galactic Proportions
(I don't know if your Indi faction will be applicable for this, but the invitation is included)
Well our thread is yet to commence so you're ahead of the game. xD
Not certain if/when Sid plans on posting the thread. I'll poke ya again whenever the thread is posted.
