Did something happen while I was gone? Season 6 is out where are all the Horsefuckers? Is the fandom dying?

Interest fell over the seasons. S5 had its strong and weak moments, but was overall enjoyable. S6 is mostly average, with a handful of gems and mediocrity all around otherwise.
We're also in the middle of a hiatus.
Furthermore, shit happened here to make things less "fun" for some (banned generals, banning of prompt threads) so some people left or largely stay hidden among their generals/pseudo-generals.
How do you measure board activity?

Are we dying?
The answer is: Maybe
>>27837771
Hiatus.
Also, less enthusiasm, Anons watch episodes, discuss and overanalyse like the nerds we are, then we go back about our lives, there's no reason to be constantly attached like we were in 2010-2012
