it's pretty much nailed on the head here. Apart from the few people that take it upon themselves to just be ****s to new members, I think places like Redditt and FourChan have killed the smaller forums like this.
But I don't think the forum has been as quiet recently, as you're saying Vanilla. And I do agree that if it has, summer is a big contributing factor.

Every forum I've been on has threads like this at least twice a year without fail, the forum is dying, the place isn't as good as it used to be and nobody discusses the main subject the forum was built around anymore. They attempt to encourage dicussion by creating threads and 1-2 weeks later everyone is back to talking about sex again. I suspect it's down to the tight knit groups that inevitably form, older members get bored, they move on or life gets in the way, the community shifts a little and those that are left are feeling a little lost among new faces. It's not the forums dying, it's your little cliques slowly eroding away.
