The forum is "dead" because it wasn't ever really alive. This is a tiny corner of a forum dedicated to a mediocre game. It would be like someone who is a member of the country golf club showing up to the neighborhood barbecue; of course its going to be different. And personally, I like it that way. There aren't many places on the internet you can get this level of companionship, Sure, we have our fights and threats of destruction, but it's all in good fun. Just chill, make some friends and have fun. Sometimes people blow things way out of proportion.
