I am working on the statistics for this thread and will post more information later. So far, I have counted 200 respondants through Post #204 (including those who reported for 2 persons). 46% have dropped in status from 2014 to 2015. 40 % have stayed the same. 14 % increased status.

The most noticable trend so far among FTers who have reported to this thread is that of the 46% who reported dropping in status, 58% were 1K in 2014. Of that 58%, 50% dropped to Gold or Below.

Of course, FTers represent a very small percentage of all MP members, so it is just speculation to predict how well these figures represent the general population of MP members. It would help if more FTers would report to this thread. Those who have already posted, please go back and edit your posts to give more reasons to help us all understand your status changes. Thanks. And please also answer the survey in the other thread about your 2015 plans for earning 2016 status. Thanks.

I will edit the WIKI later with more statistics, but I have a lot of other things to do today. Thanks.
