Always useful to see the list of inactive or dead witness servers and it's actually quite a shame to see so many still occupying top 100 spot, even top 300 really. Seems there's more inactive than active ones in the top 500?

Yea as time passes, more witnesses come in and come out. Once in, they will never disappear from the list. We have less than 150 witnesses I think, which is why the more you get down the list the more inactive ones are listed.

Yea it's a shame they can't just be removed from that list once they are inactive or not producing blocks after, say, 3 months as then it would be a better representation and "cleaner"...

All the more reason to make sure witness votes are up to date but a lot of inactive accounts still have a vote registered to an inactive witness so that is also a tricky one.

I guess it’s related to the fact that witness votes don’t expire either, so inactive witnesses are still receiving votes and hence should stay in the list.

There have been suggestions to expire witness votes or at least to witnesses that have been inactive for a long period of time (years).
