Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form 7” for “infusionsoft”. “contact form 7” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “infusionsoft” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 87.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,668 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Thanks for the plugin, it really helped me with the task I was working on. It would be good if you could support Mailchimp tags as well, so when someone subscribes, I can assign a tag ( already defined in MailChimp ).

The plugin works with one of my site but does not with the other. I used the same API key for both, but one of the site failed to “check the API”. Any ways to fix this?
