I wasn't sure if you were around when it was last mentioned. It was a long time ago and you might not have been a member yet. I suppose I could have checked the old posts to find out, but that would involve doing unnecessary work
Even though the forum may be dying, the website itself is not. It consistently gets 3000 visitors a day, which is huge compared to what it used to get a year ago. And I have no idea where these people are coming from. I don't advertise anymore, there are very few websites linking to here, and I've stopped making distributable games a long time ago (which is advertising as the Cheddar logo is in the games). So all in all I'm quite happy with how this site has grown, even if the forum has slowed down.
