is the Sims 3 forum dying off. Seems not to many post anymore, seems like only what happening in your game and show your last screen shot is all that is on. I remember this place was buzzing.
I have been a member of several forums over the years and my typical behaviour has always been to be a lurker.
I had no particular intent when I joined these forums, but I relatively quickly ended up posting screenshots/updates from my games/storylines when I found quite a few people were doing it, and I also try to make some comments to other people's stories every now and then, and that is pretty much it for me. :P
