if you felt the site was no more you would not be bothering to visit

I still visit for nostalgia for the good old days - sometimes I like looking over the old threads for a quick trip down memory lane. (Remember, I was the one who pointed out the javascript malware to you a while ago? Did anyone else mention it? Anyone at all?)

I would put more energy into moving forward

Oh, we (as in, the "oldbies" of this forum) did. We moved to other forums where staff actually cared. Cause nobody here (except Cannis's brief stint as a moderator) did - flamewars went on for days, even weeks, until one of us would PM The End or someone else with a direct link to the problem, any calls for stickifying important discussions were ignored, the only time you people did react swiftly was when RockPatch appeared. The rest of your actions were simply once in a blue moon "hmm I'm bored, nothing's happening in the other forums, let's see if the ra2 forum is still alive" events, like you jumping in and deleting a
six months old thread (which was still on the first page).

people like deezire have a life outside the moding world and have been inactive

I am well aware of this thing called real life, and I do understand it takes priority over internet stuff, but people can't really be expected to sit around a nearly-dead forum thinking "one day the great father figures of the old days might want to make themselves feel important again and revisit us". If a site's staff disappears and the site starts falling apart, the ordinary members will find another sites to hang around, cause, guess what, those other sites still have active staff and active projects!
