answer:Yes. As the number of new members steadily grows, more Lurve will be distributed. As for whether older members are now more generous, I doubt it. We all have our own criteria on how it is issued, and if anything, I suspect that it would decline rather than increase over time. Another factor is that most members focus on new questions and not those already posted. It is easy to never see these older posts unless one searches for a specific topic or they are referenced in a new post. When I happen to run across an older post, I’ll check to see if the person who posted the question or a great answer is still a member. If they are still around, I’ll click on the GQ or GA.
