Who's saying that? If the Discord wasn't around then only the Social and Random Goofiness threads would be active as well as profile posts that'd be active which wouldn't be much of an improvement.
Just saying, There's been some comments on the fact that people are moving to the discord server from the forums, and even if that happens, not much happens there. I'm trying to reassure people who think the discord server is getting all the attention. If not for LuigiRocks, Juan, TB and Ocean Prince, being there every night, I don't think it'd get any activity.
I'm simply backing up Blue's point that the lack of Wario or otherwise serious content is what's really hurting the forum side. I know I often come off as being resentful of the Discord but that's not it.
I think it's general, yeah. Sad but true. Although we've seen some new threads popping up, which is nice, I think. I say it's also a bit of laziness to type, you know. I wouldn't be surprised.
