Happy Easter my friend!
You're doing great as usual, maybe except on the meetups side, but that's probably a tough one.
Regarding GO, I think I ranked up some 400, maybe even 500 places since I have the goal, to 622nd currently. Mine is not a ranking goal, but pushing on my goal has the side effect of ranking me up. You might be right that others may have slowed down. Frankly, I think that's a mistake. It's a game that is still rewarding after quite a bit since launch, unlike others.
