Weird LiveJournal stats

Published on:

I've been watching the stats of various blog hosting providers over the past year, and I'm puzzled with the LiveJournal stats. From January to October 2005, the number of accounts has grown 51%, however the number of accounts that are "active in some way" has grown only 4% over the same period. Actually, it is stuck below 2.6M since at least June. Am I wrong or has LJ reached a plateau in terms of active/loyal bloggers?
