I am not surprised the forum are rather dead. There is simply no innovation in topics. Its the same world in and world out.
For most of the time it is a very few playing making the atmosphere uneasy, or they are making boing post about how they are the best tribe, or if they are not, how they should have been if not for the evil backstabbing victors..... Most of the old foxed have seen it all and heard it all. and for new players, it both take a while to get out here, and when you do you get you head chopped of for a refreshment question.
So in a sense forum are dying and rightly so.
