I'm writing the updater script for the List of Untergangers (of the new format, read more about it here) and about to write the status algorithm, based on five of the channel's latest videos. I'm not sure whether to stick with the fixed months here or go purely by average publish intervals.

Interesting to note is the List currently has no "hiatus", for a good reason. With the updater script [mostly] eliminating the manual labour we can start putting it back in.

I might be modifying the mileages as follows - assuming an average publishing rate of two parodies every week (Average Production Interval, API=3.5):
 * Active - within 2 weeks (4API)
 * Hiatus - within 2 months (16API)
 * Dormant - over 2 months
 * Retired (of the implied kind) - over 6 months (48API)
