I believe you. I'm not some nut who thinks you're out to get the players via willful refusal to inform anyone of potential inactivity. Just thought it might be an oversight sort of thing.

If I may suggest, after too many beers, it would be convenient if there were a single place to check on the status of various immortals. But it's not a huge deal. Just an idea since not every imm with a religion has a forum on this site. If I'm considering following Joe Blow Immortal and Joe Blow Immortal doesn't have a forum...I have to guess if he's active or not. Or scour "Ask an Immortal" and hope something got posted there.
