I think I'd be more skeptical if there were NO activity at 96 hrs.
gravity readings?
They're the only things that can tell you what your beer is doing, not us, or your airlock.

Don't feel bad for asking goodyO, it's a valid question. I know that Palmer's book says something about "worry about infection if your airlock is still bubbling after a week", but unfortunately you can't reliably use the airlock as an indicator of what's going on inside. The people on this forum can be a really great resource for information....don't be afraid to ask. I'm sure your beer is fine.
Just did a gravity reading, 1.012. This is a Brewers Best PSA IPA. The OG was 1.054 and there still lots of krausen on top after 4 days.

I'm sorry but that isn't true at all.

I hope he was being facetious.
