So, you think this site is dying. Maybe something made you think like that. And if it has anything to do with activity, then I can't blame you for that, but let's get it straight first.

Now, everything has its downtimes and uptimes. If you actually look at the activity graph for the last 12 months, you'll notice that the graph is full of spikes - one month is full of new things and stuff, and then another is kinda boring.

The last 2 months had increased activity, you can't argue about that. Members had more free time and stuff to show off, thus all of our key members were online at least one time a day.
Let's now look at what's been happening in the last week - Manic's missing and because most of us are still studying for the end of the school year, there aren't much new stuff to talk about. I'll take myself as an example - because of Manic's abscense, I can't really do anything on those surprise projects that me and my Serbian buddy's been cooking. Also, because of exams and studying I don't have the time to even open something in Blender. That's this month's situation.

You gotta think think more perspectively (don't even know if that's how it's spelled). In my opinion, it's just a little downtime for us, that's all.

Well for the last several months, we've had one or 2 only new users join us, then I agree we also had exams, you could see a lot of my absense there....

Even the chatbox has been empty, the last messages are like from 2010 or something...

I'm not arguing or putting an arguement or such, just stating, that the whole forum should be a tad more active, we should get a few new members.. I think I stated it all up there anyway.

But I agree to some parts of your posts, but I feel this "downtime" is also a bit too long IMO. Like it started 2-3 months ago.

Oh come on, Ed! Ya think that's called "dying", huh? The Gang is a lot more active that many of our "personal" forums, y'know, these we've created and are mostly dead already.

What's going on here is just a little downtime, that's all.
Don't worry, it'll be fine again.

Gotta admit, seen this site in a worse state. Not an excuse to keep us from doin' something to bring it back to its feet.

You gotta admit, this place is far more active than either of my forums ever were.
