I've noticed that recently less and less people have been posting on topics. This started after the update IMO. What do you guys think?

Well if you are talking about off topic, yes. Off topic no longer appears in recent topics, so a thread quickly gets buried. It's sad really, I don't use OT anymore because of this. 

 

I see their reasoning behind this, but  I really wish they would change it back. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

As Wind said - statistically NO.
From my perspective: fix that God damn post count font size. I'm pretty sure that it's one of the reasons why I post less. It pisses me off more than it should.

No, please stop asking. The forum is growing a lot and the nly reason you might think it's dying is because Off Topic posts don't show up on the right column anymore which is normally where everyone looks.

Nope, every few weeks this discussion comes on here, since the beginning of this forum ironically.

For the 2 voters that said yes, then you really should try to scroll on every subforum and see how many posts are made daily. And no, its not dying, if anything, its getting new users every day.

If you mean if the forum is slowly losing brain cells then yes, I agree.

Ever since the forum update the off-topic thread has seemed almost deserted, but everything else appeares to be having no noticeable difference in traffic.

No, I haven't, and the reason I think it's dying (AKA not as many posts) is because a lot of topics with people that need help get 4 posts then no more when the person still needs help and most topics in the side bar have 2-3 posts in them when before this new posts would have 5-10.

It was someone else then, because I swear what you posted in the OP was word for word the same thing that the other guy asked when they asked if the forum was dying.

The forum now is ridiculously slow it always pisses me off. And also, the mobile version sucks, is way too clunky, and the recent topic are at the bottom, below at least 5 miles of crolling. Has cut my forum viewing time down with at least 90%. Really sad to have to say this.
