As [@DruSM157] said, people have real life to attend to, but as far as I've seen throughout the years I have been here, this site is nowhere from being dead. People are making interest checks left and right (likely due to extra free time as a result of quarantine) and we're still steadily getting new members. I wouldn't see RPNation dead either, since they're in a similar situation as RPG.

Honestly, it might just be that people don't really feel your RP ideas, which can happen to anyone at any given time. Free not being as active as other sections and only having a select few members regularly frequenting the section wouldn't help either.
