It's not my definition. It is a definition that is the standard for pretty much every BBS software I've ever used.
An active member isn't required to participate in a discussion if the site bases their success on page views for advertisements. It's active and making the board owner money.
There are many TFP members who lurked for years and then one day decided to start posting. They read threads and posts for years, know and understand the characters and posters, I don't see how that makes them less of a participant as far as the board is concerned. As far as the discussion well that's a different metric.
