Is it also possible that Roleplaying as a pastime is fading somewhat in today's day and age? I don't really know how you'd measure that, but if it was a really popular thing to do several years back, and then a series of unfortunate catastrophes shut down a lot of roleplaying options at once, people just decided to find other things to do with their lives?

Or am I wrong, and the RP crowd has just moved away from RPguild to other places?

There's really no way to be sure, so it's definitely a possibility. I don't see Roleplaying dying as a hobby anytime soon though. Even outside of the main three (four?), people still Roleplay on Twitter, Tumblr, Discord, Facebook, VK, Skype, and various other social media platforms.
