It is a constant "rebuilding" at the moment.
I hope that the really good Update 7 (no server outage, no game breaking bugs) motivates people to take a peek in again. It for sure has motivated a few.
However I completely understand that it is harder for some factions to recover than for others.
Therefore, I would say: No, no activity checks. Factions that know they cannot make it back again, can disband anyway. And in a few months, we can try again.
