It's the slow death of forums without purpose thing.
What this place needs more than most else, is some new announcements and facts about current and future games, plans, visions etc.
The community is like the groupies and campers that follow like moths to a candlelight and then, besides bickering about class vs. skills also find other things they can disagree about. With new carrots, the invisible 6 foot rabbits slink away, long ears drooping.
The place was lively when Kotor2 was announced, less so when the information trickled to a a few drops here and there. Same thing happened with NWN2, except, that one got hijacked by Atari and Bioware and disappeared.
New people, new ideas, new disagreements might resurface if they start releasing info on PNJ before it hit the shelves, or all the various magazines gets it as "exclusives" first and the fans last.
