I'm confused by your wording.
Let's go through a couple scenarios.
1) Tokiyo and Shun are threading
-Tokiyo makes the thread go inactive by not posting for 2 weeks
-He and Shun discuss this and Shun knows full well why Tokiyo has not posted
-The thread remains unclaimed by Shun
-Tokiyo eventually posts again and they finish up
-Both claimed GP fine
2) Tokiyo and Shun are threading.
-Tokiyo makes the thread go inactive
-Shun has not heard from him
-Shun waits several weeks but has no reply, so he claims the GP. The thread is now "abandoned".
-Tokiyo comes back and talks to Shun, they agree to finish the thread.
-When complete, Tokiyo claims full GP, and Shun claims GP between first claim and the end.
3) Tokiyo and Shun are threading
-Tokiyo makes the thread go inactive
-Shun hears nothing and a month passes
-Shun claims the thread and it is now Abandoned.
-Tokiyo comes back and posts again, but Shun will never speak to him or write with him again.
-After waiting for Shun, and getting no reply, Tokiyo can claim GP for the topic because he made a good faith effort to repair the thread.
4) Tokiyo and Shun are threading
-Tokiyo makes it inactive
-Shun desperately needs this thread for his GM Pizza request
-Shun claims the thread and lets it go Abandoned.
-After a month, Shun has no choice but to move on and try to recover his plot. He tells Tokiyo, but it's just unavoidable. He writes the thread to close
-Tokiyo is not eligible for any GP from this topic.
So as you can see here: Unless you're screwing with something someone -really needs- and you leave them to fall on their faces, you can have your GP so long as you complete a thread, or make a good faith effort to.
