Just weighing in my own observations here...
As previously mentioned, CD goes through phases. Right now it's definately at a low in terms of activity. But I've been posting fairly regularily in CD for over 5 years now (although admitteldy alot less in the past year), and lurking for even longer, and this is definately the quietest I've ever seen it. There's little in the way of meaningful debate, and most of the threads are fluff, lots of 'which game is best' polls, etc. Most of the members I know well have disappeared or only post once in a blue moon.
I don't want to bang on too much about the great times I had here between '05 and early '08, but I do miss them. I reckon CD will pick up again, and while I'm not going to hold out for the return of any of my favourite posters from the past, I hope the amount of really substantial, interesting threads increases as this happens.
