lol, well it is clearly a problem if there are so many topics about it. I remember when I use to be a farily popular member around here that this place was incredibly active. Before Shaggy and all that. Great site, good times, they will be missed. But the site is that dead, it is still growing and gets many hits, just maybe a slow down period until some changes come around.
The vast majority of the people who bitch about GR's "dead-ness" haven't got the right to. There's a couple of us 04'ers still around, and you know what? It's not dead. The site's still popular, it's still the biggest graphics forum around (and with V4) it'll be improving constantly. If you've not been here (and active) since at least mid-05 you're barely aware of what we'd call GRs 'Golden Period' anyway. Forums fluctuate, activity drops up and down. ; GR's far from dead. Write your own damn tombstone.
