I think he means the squeeky wheel gets the grease - if you've been inactive on standard, the adjustment may be slow in happening. Just guessing here.. Mine hasn't changed yet either. 
(@RJC, lol, you're still the man)
That makes more sense now that I think about. That rating is for standard. But an active member could be anyone involved in vote chess, 960, tournaments, blitz, As long as your playing something. Thank you UK.

If that were the case I would've been affected by the rating change.
hahahahahaha I don't know what to tell you. I haven't gotten tomorrows mail yet either. Maybe your just an Amazing Fairlure. Maybe your the last one on the list. ??? I don't understand RATINGS, I barely understand WOMEN

@titust: OK, a game a day is active, it's kinda why I said ("Just guessing here.."). Seems we're in the same situation, I'm waiting for my standard rating adjustment too.

I think it's more likely that this move is more to do with the hole left by cheats being banned.
When a cheat is banned, their rating points from turn-based games are redistributed amongst their opponents in games they currently are playing. In live chess, their rating points are simply lost from the ratings pool...
Is boost for all players ? I haven't received extra points.... 
"I think it's more likely that this move is more to do with the hole left by cheats being banned" That could be. I thought maybe something with V3, but I've been wrong before.
Maybe the site was finally convinced by the experience of NM @FLChessplayer, and his inability to achieve a Standard Chess rating much higher than 1550, after almost 86 games at those time controls.

I have seen many people in the 1600-1800 range that haven´t received points.

If you're going to boost the ratings I don't see why you can't just boost everybody.
I'd also be interested in the definition of "active".
I haven´t played Standard in 2 months and I got 150 points.

What a lot of people aren't getting is that there was a logjam of players in the 1850-2150 range. What this will do is open it up so that there will be a real difference between players. Instead of all the top players crammed into a 300 point range, they are now spread over a range from 2000-2750.
This will actually make the ratings more accurate in the long run.
If players are really that far apart in ability, they wouldn't be so close in rating now. If someone was 2,200 and not increasing it's because they don't score any better than they should against the 2,100s and so on.
