The reason this site is dying.

[EDGE]

I still check from time to time.

Nothing really interests me besides seeing old members still around honestly, so I suppose nostalgia.

Games and Art being made doesn't look much different from what I've seen since 2005 so I barely give criticism or comment anymore on those topics.

Everytime someone mentions the site dying or being dead, old drama is brought up.
Not that is a bad thing but I don't think that has a big impact on activity since most of us grew up and moved on or have actually apologised and feel good and care that others are still around and didn't end up bad.

I guess what I mean is what has been said already, life happens.

Also, there are many other ways to share and join people with similar interests.

As some mentioned back then forums where the best thing around but feel outdated now.

I'm too busy with life to have time to start or finish a fan made project now.

The ones that are young and have time don't have some of the tools we had back then and mostly everything has to be paid to be able to use it's features now so of course that holds the young ones from doing what we did back then.

Also, I don't know about others but I use my phone for almost everything now. To check e-mails, pay bills and even post this comment.
I haven't sat down in front of a computer in a while. I think if I sat down in front a computer even if I had 20 to 30 minutes to spare I could do some sprites or work on a project but mobile devices keep me away from that.
