Here's one way to measure it, I compiled a list of the number of comments on LTS article pages over time:



I have definitely seen a drop in activity over the last year, it is very noticeable on the Recent Activity page. I can think of at least three factors:

- There was a considerable drop in activity when the wiki was changed to require a registered account to contribute (shown on the chart). Not that anyone could blame the admins for that decision, it's just unfortunate it was necessary because of one guy with a troll problem.

- The lack of special events means a primary driver of traffic has been lost. Special events generate far greater numbers of comments than LTS due to the difficulty level, and used to draw in many new members.

- Less tangible, but I sense there has been a general decline in interest in the game amongst longer-term players, who have been the backbone of the wiki community.

I don't worry about this place though, as long as the game continues this great community will survive. It's just a bit less active than it used to be.
