pazzy 08/26/24 9:55:05 AM #3:	No. It's more dead even. Primarily because I'm sure some left when it became private, some were banned, and just the general lack of interest for the site in general. Nowadays I don't really feel like talking to people on forums about games as much. Too many games to go through, and too many things in general to do, and younger generations don't seem to like the forum format nearly as much as we did / do. <cite>pazzy posted [p:981865912] in It has bee...
