Pretty much what Cutman said. GVH is a year old, and other game mods like AOW and Zombie Horde took the crowd. How do I know? I was apart of the GVH crowd during its hay-day. I left around the time I became more active in competitive skulltag, but this correlated with the TDM scene. TDM is really a cheap thrill even among those playing it (even a few vets of my crowd don't stay after one or two games). So quite frankly, GVH TDM is what drove a lot of players away. The lack of updates as far as new content goes made people cynical as well, but isn't the huge deciding factor.
It's just what Eruanna says, lot of GVH players have low attention spans and don't want to think. I won't beat around the bush about it though. A lot of GVH players of now can't hang or never did, so they need that perpetual life to feel good when killing someone. This breaks a lot of the strategies, maps, and class balance (Remember when Chokes and Frostbites were useful in TDM? Neither do I). Last time I played TDM GVH, I got banned for, "aimbotting," which was the first time that has ever happened to me.
The crowd for the players have changed now. Everyone went off to play what is, "cool," now like Zombie Horde and that will die out too. I am a little surprised Megaman hasn't bloomed either, but that's mainly to either disinterest, lack of advertising, other mods, and so on. I love seeing this place barely active as it gives me little to work worth, but as a devotee and player I am also troubled (and I do like moderating btw).
We can all agree we had our fun, but the days of Endless Wars or Skill's 24 man to 32 man parties of Cold Demise is gone. People want to play NOW and not wait. Don't fret though, the Skulltag clan scene is pretty much a ghost-town too. It's like a signal: things are becoming less and less competitive now. And yes! I am saying TDM isn't that competitive (I think regular Deathmatch is a joke also).
As far as the forum is concerned: not many of the in-game crowd ever came here. The only people who came here are some Touhou players, myself, a few devotees, and testers. What people want to discuss was pretty much already discussed before, and a lot of GVH stuff was done to death. What else is need to be said?
