I- *weak gust of steam steam exits mouth* -I've given enough speeches today about dying forums and the current segregation issues it faces. I'll get back to this.  

Probably because of school starting up.  

It's about as active as it's ever been, in my opinion. Activity fluctuates during the year because of school and such and activity was much higher near the release because... well, it was new.  

The overall quality of this forum has declined in my opinion. Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, though. It's just the idiots that you'd get on any forum to be honest.

It's the magnitude and frequency of the idiots, though. In such a small community like ours, the idiotic posts seem much more frequent since there aren't as much 'average' posters to cover it up; and for whatever reason, the 'idiotic' ratio of members is so much higher than a lot of other forums. The sheer amount of idiotic matter in the space in which the idiots' brains are supposed to reside in is a whole new story, however.

It's because the average age of the playerbase is lower than most other game forums.  

Hmmm...This isn't where I parked my car.  

The forums arent dead we got some useless spammers and idiots here still.
But thats only a small number the rest atleats have 2/3 of a brain

I blame iEra, language barriers and bad pixel artists.  

The forum would be awesome if idiots who unneccisarily make threads and just piss people off just left... But lifes never perrfect.

Iera kinda eliminates that in some ways. Otherwise a translation system where everything is translated into the users home language should be implemented.  

its just a bunch of people that read the threads but don't post, like me  

Suprisingly, this actually seems true. it might be because school started back up.
