Next person posting a thread spreading rumors, and specifically claiming they have proof/evidence (which simply does not exist) that villages are removed will be banned.

Yes, inactive bases are moved back in the matchmaking queue after a while. This is common knowledge here on the forum, and Supercell has confirmed it.
Precidence in matchmaking is given to active accounts, which is of course how it should be.
