Any community goes through rises and falls in quality. The Spam subcommunity is certainly currently in decline, with many old faces having ditched it after Guildfall and the influx of newer members whose company they enjoyed less. In future, at some point, it'll feel stronger again, I'm sure. Like many things, it's cyclical. For the moment, I'm pretty sure the old Skype group is still going strong, and you'll see familiar faces around the forum even if they frequent Spam itself less often - and hey, Spam still has the occasional gem of a thread.
