1,300 posts and 58 topics created per day doesn't look like a dead site to me.
They can't all be going to PPR. :wink:

The only sections that are thriving are the off the wall, L&D, news and PPR. I'm bored with Russia now. The GAD is the one that's most dead.

It appears I'm not the only one who thinks WP is dead. Other members have said so too.

Random discussion is only thriving with the "last thing you ate" threads but I don't really find those very interesting. I prefer discussions and people's experiences.

Maybe because I'm an addict I think some others should be addicts too. :lol:

I never said it's boring, I've just gotten bored of it all. I think it's because I hear contradicting information about it every day and also I'm trying to avoid it otherwise I'll just start worrying again.

Not quite dead yet, the lack of fast movement isn't rigor mortis so much as arthritis.

I stand corrected. The site has noticeably less activity than a few years ago. There are long periods during the day when it is less active than a dead sloth on Prozac. I've only been back three days now, but am already losing interest in staying.

I've just had a look at the front pages of the site. None more recent than four years ago. In the Autism News section there is an article expressing concern at the upcoming US presidential election between the contenders Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. :lol:

That topic was replaced four years later by threads related to Trump's attempted re-election and his subsequent legitimate and legal defeat during the 2019 election. Since all challenges to that defeat have themselves been defeated, there is not much left in the political arena to talk about, except reruns of the same old partisan battles.

Fnord, I'm referring to this article in the "Autism News" section of the site:

WP lives on (just?) through the forums alone - the front pages died years ago, unmissed by most here I suspect.

Actually, lately this place has actually been quite lively. There's been new threads posted each day in my favourite sections, and new posts added to recent threads each day.

I wouldnt call it dead. But it seems less active as you stated, no big updates or anything. I guess there are things that need to be updated, but the forums are still active it seems, atleast during the whole time I've been reading them. I havent been around for a long time to say for sure, but I think forum activity is still strong.
