Your opinion of the definition of the word "active" is irrelevant, as by the actual English definition of the word in every dictionary there is, this game is active, and also engaging, that is not an opinion, it is not subjective, it's a fact.
"Active enough" is subjective though, and is true for myself and other people. Though i'm not going to deny i'd happily welcome even more activity!
Also, Worms Armageddon history doesn't dictate what the word active means. It's definitely not at it's peak, and it likely never will be again, nobody is arguing that. It might not be active in such a way that satisfies you, and there are parts of the game and people that are gone I wish would come back, that's life though, people move on, people adapt.
The game is still active though, that isn't even up for debate, it's literally a fact.
All these things you personally think are stupid, are parts of the game that are active and lots of other people enjoy.
It's your own problem you don't enjoy playing with inexperienced players. Quitters are sometimes frustrating though i'll give you that, though that isn't exclusive to this game, that happens everywhere in life.
It's your problem you don't enjoy playing offline to submit your times against others around the world, then again.
It's your problem you can't accept there is a vast galaxy of adventures and possibilities outside the world you are living in(metaphorically speaking of course).
People still make maps, even Mablak is posting world record runs for missions and deathmatch! People are streaming the game on Twitch including myself, the r/worms subreddit often has people asking about the game, Sensei has that massive Discord channel which has thousands of people, Deadcode & CyberShadow are still updating the game. People are playing Cups, Tournaments, Challenges, CWT will begin within 2 months and should be great! lalo told me the Southern American communities have a private Discord where they organize Elite Tournaments with each other and Adun streams them on Twitch often. Apparently there is a massive Russian community of wormers as well who play among themselves, sometimes some pretty big YouTubers streaming Worms matches.
These are all things which add to the activity of the game.
Every time i've logged on to WormNET in the past year there has always been multiple games hosted, and i've seen a healthy variation of schemes hosted, i've seen Ropers, Big RR, WxW, Shopper, Mole Shopper, Normal, BnG, Bungee, Kaos, Darts, Team17, Elite, TTRR, Warmer and the list goes on... Granted most of the games hosted are casual, though that still adds to the games activity.
Here is an idea, you could create your own Discord channel, with the express purpose of inviting all the people you like playing games with, so you can organize games with people that you deem good enough.
The main point being, just because things aren't the way you personally want them to be, doesn't mean the game is dead, or that it sucks, or that people are stupid, or that noobs are worthless.
You are not more important or better than everyone else, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Why do you like arguing nonsense? Why do you feel that you must try to 'win' any conversation you engage in? This post has absolutely nothing to do with you but as always, you make it your holy duty to argue because you have no life.
My attitude about this game is based upon what I've seen with my own eyes. Every time you log on there's multiple games hosted? Well good for you! Many times when I log on there's no games hosted, or maybe one of something simple like a shopper. The game is frequently 'dead' by any reasonable understanding of the term. Of course we can argue semantics but that's pointless. Your opinion of my attitude is just your opinion, and your opinion sucks the vast majority of the time lol. Just look at a few of the 12,000+ posts you've made over the years and re-read a lot of the retarded shit you've said. You're a smug twat who tries to do or say anything you can to make yourself look better while putting others down.
I furthermore have no idea wtf you are talking about when it comes to me acting ignorant and selfish towards people. How am I acting selfish? How am I being ignorant? If me wishing that the game was more active and more full of old school players, then yeah... I'm definitely selfish. Guilty as charged! If me being ignorant means that I am unaware of ranked activities hosted on various forums, then I'm also guilty as charged there. Aside from that, I have no clue what you are talking about.
If you consider WA to be active, then good for you. I don't. 90%+ of the time I log on to WormNET there are less than 40 people in #AG and of those ~40 people, probably 2/3rds of them are snoopers and bots. Of course this doesn't reflect anyone who might be in the middle of a game, but still... that's not what any reasonable person would consider active, both in terms of historical WA activity and for most online multiplayer games in general. "Worms Armageddon history doesn't dictate what active means" - you. Why the f@#! would it not? You make no sense. The fact that the game is active is not "literally a fact." That's just... wrong.
As far as me not caring about offline challenges and stuff goes, that's simply my prerogative. It's not fun to *me.* I don't care about speedrunning deathmatches or doing time trials. That's not a "problem" but rather a matter of preference. I am not shitting on anyone for being into those sorts of things. All I said is that I'm not into it; not that other people should be ashamed about enjoying it.
I shouldn't have to organize an external site/forum/channel to arrange games. If people spent half as much time actually playing WA as they do lurking in such places, the game would be way more active and fun. People need to take that activity/chat to AG and make the game feel more alive. Then again, that's just my opinion.
Playing with random/noob players isn't fun, personally. They either quit or pose little to no challenge. Where's the fun in that, when the outcome is a foregone conclusion? Also, a lot of them barely speak English so there's that also. I don't mind playing with newcomers in a teaching context but for general gameplay fun it just doesn't work. Also, the list of games you claim to see hosted is far more variety than what I see whenever I get on. Hardly anyone hosts ropers aside from Kradie and his silly ZaR ropers or those Zillians hosting w2 ropers. I haven't seen anyone host a BnG in ages, nor a Bungee, Darts, Elite, TTRR or Warmer. Those basically never get hosted.
I never said that just because I don't like something then it doesn't exist. That's stupid and you're simply being disingenuous for the sake of winning an argument that you are engaged in with yourself because you are being you.. in other words, finding arguments where they don't exist and upping your post count.
All I want is what is best for the game - more in-game activity, more of a feeling of community, etc. I want old school players to actually boot up the game and play. I am not unhappy that new people are discovering the game and playing... in fact, I think it's great. However, what I don't like is logging on to WormNET and seeing almost nothing but randoms from Bumf@#!istan who keep hosting and joining the same handful of beginner schemes. I am glad that when *you* join AG you seem to see so much more activity and variety than I do. More fortunate timezone in general, I guess? All I know is that most of the time when I have a chance to play, the game isn't nearly as active as you make it out to be, and the scheme variety is also far more limited. Just sayin'.
