Is Frictional Games forum dying?

[reehone]

I haven't been here too long, but I've seen this discussion on other forums. To be honest, whether the forum is dying or not depends on preference and perspective. Some people like the newcomers, and don't mind the more jumpscare-oriented type of CS's that are common now, so they feel it is more alive then ever before, because not all newcomers publish what may seem to some as lower quality CS's. On the other hand, some do not like the way the forum itself changes, and believes it used to be better, and the fact that old members leave, and newer, different people join, may give the impression to them that the forum is dying, especially due to seeing repetitive topics, (looking at YOU, co-op suggestion threads) which can make the whole forum seem like a waste of time, or just not the same anymore.(whether this be due to nostalgia, or actual declining quality of the forum, user-generated content, and its members is another matter of perspective)

The only time you can factually say a forum is dying, is when the post rate slows to a crawl, or if the servers/site are going to be taken down due to inactivity, or otherwise.
