Shouldn't random user show someone who's made a public post in the last 7 days? (I clicked and got a journal that looked empty. And I remember this happening before.)
Othernotes: I don't like calculating activity based on total entries/# days; it penalizes long-term users who've had a quiet period or took a six-month sabbatical. (The idea of favoring a user who started last week and posted 20 memes over someone who's been around for months or years, and posted every three days except for summer when they don't post at all, sounds bad.) If it's calculated over time, I'd rather it didn't check back farther than six months or so.
Or perhaps that it always measured activity over six months--which skews away from new accounts, which haven't had activity that long.
Also--how would it deal with imported posts? Does it have a way to exclude those from the activity levels?
