I would like to report that number of active users is 435 right now.

Not all that surprising, frankly.
I am old enough to see the waning of the wargamer crowd, the adventure gamers, the sim buffs. RPGs being the one of the oldest computer games, and hardcore RPG fans being one of the oldest computer game geek gang, I think survive for so long is …
… an achievement :)

Four hundred folks sounds like a lot to me, I get antsy being around three or more to be honest!!

Seems pretty much normal to me.
I remember times when I was a lurker not really needing to write anything. It lasted for years. I'm pretty sure some would like if it lasted longer. Till doomsday. ;)

Social Media. I hang out on Discord a lot these days.

I was reading Dart's old reply on the Codex and its so bang on.

The Codex tries to pass this narrative that we're a fist bumping bro fest for some reason. That's so bizarre. When has anyone ever agreed with anyone around there?

OTOH, I think when describing them as a cesspool, any argument against from them comes across as disingenuous.

(I just like to use the word, "disingenuous")
