Recently you may have noticed that this site is no longer what it used to be. Popular users disappeared, accounts banned, servers down, greycel bots flood the forum
Threads that would have got multiple reps and lots of engagement are now barely getting a single reply. Userbase is effectively dead
Why did this happen? This is why

The great purge
About a month ago, widespread complaints of repfarming led forum moderators to launch a quiet investigation. Overnight, numerous users—some well-known—were permanently banned in a sweeping crackdown. The mods sent a clear message: reputation abuse would no longer be tolerated
DDOS attacks
This forum is no stranger to controversy, so it’s no surprise that this site is frequently targeted. DDOS attacks are used to deliberately crash servers and disrupt the forum. Servers are often overwhelmed and unresponsive, which is why it sometimes takes minutes for a page to load

These two incidents are probably the reason why this site has been falling off so hard lately. There are more reasons, but imo these are the most likely culprits.
