It's just hit a slump, I'm sure it will pick up eventually. It's never going to truly die, because you have retards like myself, Waffersforever, Ninetailed Fox, Glaceon, kimmy456, and so on that are pretty much glued to the place. All of the above names have over 50,000 posts there, so we can't just ditch it. =/
More people will come, and less people will be run off by our dictators such as qwertyuio when the rules are relaxed. Oh, and since Neptis was so kind as to mention the work Rich has put into it, I'll bring up the fact that the place is a broken down car with half the things not working right. Links r da broke, things are out of whack, and it just needs some TLC from a programmer like Mark... or an update once every few years.
