Hm, yeah, there is a whole lot of fiddling with bots telling us
lost two points already. Some users - most notably Uberdude and Bill Spight - post some great bot-asissted analysis, though. But as far as I can see the game review section is not in a bad state - thanks to jts, Knowtlig and Bill Spight (on top of my head - I'll try to chip in, too). I'm keeping the study journal section afloat since hl782 got busy.
John Fairbairn is really pumping out books right now (Shuei, Teenage Meijin (still waiting Amazon!)), so maybe people are just busy catching up.
Other then that, Farran posts intersting tidbits all over the place and also relays news about the EGF pros.
So basically, we got old and I guess the younger generation is generally not too keen on joining forums when reddit offers a far more bloated and thus scrollable timeline for distraction.
