Imho this site is not dead. Watch most threads, there IS pleasant life and interesting discussions.
Perhaps the true reason might be that you did show these daggers also at a competing site, which is not forbidden by forum rules at all, but members might think - ok, fetch your opinions over there at this (other) site.....
Gaining for opinions on several forums has happened a lot of times and endeavored members often did not even get a "thanks" for their effort of detailed opinions perhaps because of a more appreciated opinion elswhere or the thread here got neglected because a desirable opinion was already given elsewhere. So due to my experience most have stopped to comment in such cases.
No offence, just my 2cts.
