StillActive

Stillactive is a term used across disciplines to denote that something remains in operation, accessible, or relevant. It is generally used descriptively rather than as a formal classification, and may appear in various capitalizations such as stillactive, StillActive, or still-active.

In computing and information technology, stillactive may refer to a status indicating that a process, session, or service is currently active and has not been terminated. In software development and documentation, the term is sometimes used as a placeholder label or variable name to indicate ongoing activity or to differentiate between active and inactive components.

In digital preservation and archives, stillactive describes digital assets that remain accessible over time, despite evolving hardware or software platforms. In media, marketing, and branding contexts, the term is sometimes used to suggest longevity, durability, or continued relevance of a product, brand, or piece of content.

Because there is no universal definition or governing body, interpretations of stillactive vary by field and organization. It is largely contextual and often accompanied by qualifiers that specify the exact meaning in a given context.
