Dead would be zero posts created and nothing new in months. Some forums are like that because they never took off.

I used to browse OCUK regularly, but I mostly just read reddit now since it has more content and a wider range of knowledgable people.
Plus Val freakin Kilmer often posts there

How do you know that? These people usually have PR people post for them.

Nah, I believe it's him, the way he posts and the anecdotes he tells, I don't believe he gets someone to do it. He says he has 2 women who work on websites for him, but he posts to Reddit himself. Of course, I've never actually seen him posting, so I'm just going on what he says.
I've seen posts from Arnie too, but not a lot, so I'm suspicious of those, but people have said it's him and he's posted in /Bodybuilding a few times.

Slow then compared to what it used to be from 2005 onwards.
I've no idea what was online in 2005 but tonight...

It doesn't matter how many people are online guests or members or bots it's about the content.
. Not amusing any more or I'm getting old[er].

Definitely less people than when I join back in 2011. Still a noobie compared to the veterans here!
Though, some funny members have gone e.g: theophany etc....

Putting aside how shameless the request for OCuk handouts is, giveaways and competitions only attract people who sign up just for free stuff.
The Meerkat thread alone gets a few people ask for codes on their first post whenever it gets revived.
As much as i like GD, the 'hot topics' have been done to death to the point where we only get the same posters talk about how outraged they are about Muslims/political correctness/gender stuff. The dreaded eBay scam threads look more exciting than ever by comparison!
Many old posters that started threads with a bit more substance have seemed to have become inactive.

Was going to post exactly this. GD used to be a fun place full of silliness with the odd serious thread/question. However mods cracked down of the silliness for what ever reason and now it's full bitter people complaining how the world ain't what it used to be.
Like all forums ocuk is in a slow decline, the format just isn't popular anymore and ocuk's style makes it even less so as we have no like system etc for the modern look at how amazing I am generation. Still an amusing place to read and decent place to get advice provided you want a miele vacuum and a bmw.
