Obviously the game isnt what it used to be anymore and that the forum isnt as alive anymore is ofc a direct result of that.
However if I compare sttf 2009 to 2018, there is a major difference. And it has nothing to do with volume, eventho obviously there is a lot less.
Back then, Id say 90+% of the posts were made by a rather small group of regs. We even called each other sttfregs. Now Im not that active anymore, but if I ask you who are the sttfregs now, what would your list look like? Would you even be able to make one?
I could make a list with 50+ people, some among the best players in their respective games back then, some among the best now.
This is the major difference.
You guys remember the sttf-sngs? Yes we used to do things like that...
Do you guys know what a pooh-bah post is or even a millenium-strat post?

Just look at this beauty. It was one of the last of its kind... sadly. This is the kind of work, effort & love people used to put into this forum.
