I came for WAW lobbies but didn't make an account till a year ago

This is what I will say. The site, by definition, is growing. We get like 300-400 new members a day, however, the site's activity has definitely slowed down. For example, some of the most popular forums, that used to be viewed by anywhere between 100 and 200 people at a time, are now pulling 20-50 members at any one time.

ie.


Also, at the time I am posting this, there are 365 members online and 160 new members so far today. I'll say then that only 300 of the 365 members have actually been on the site for more than a week. There are 1,711,760 members on the site, so only 360/1711760 (roughly .0002%) of the members are online.

I get that different times etc. can impact this, but it's generally the same.

The site itself is still great and I have a blast on it, but the activity is definitely decreasing.

the site is growing in member count but its actual popularity is decreasing, here is a graph i pulled from the amount of people who googled the site:

as you can see, the popularity is much less than it was around mid 2011.
