NewChapter - "It seems they are getting more aggressive in going after inactive people...is there any concrete evidence that the GB is demanding more loyalty? I know there is a general feeling, and I feel it too, but is there any proof? I'm just wondering."
No concrete proof; GB2.0's legal division is an old hand at spin. Plenty of circumstantial evidence that supports the idea a lot more than in refutes it (along with with compelling theories as to why), IMO.
Battening down the hatches and filtering out the riffraff.
noni1974 - "Maybe because the old members have died off and none of the originals are left anymore."
Give the lady a cigar. Seriously. I've heard Cubans are really, really good. BTW, this retroactively labels their predecessors as GB1.0, and the overlapped generation of oldtimers and newbies in the previous couple decades as GB1.5.
