Ask HN: Is my karma rotting?

Everyday I'm inactive I notice my karma goes down by 1 point, but none of my recent threads have been down voted. Does Karma now 'rot'?

I haven't noticed my karma decreasing when I've been inactive, but then I tend not to be inactive for long periods of time.

By inactive, do you mean not visiting the site, not commenting, not voting on comments/articles, or some combination of those? I ask because it's possible that there's some combination of things which triggers it, if that is indeed what is happening.

I don't thing thats the case. I am inactive from past few weeks, and there is no affect on my karma.
