It seems like all we have are Unofficial game topics, whiny topics, girl topics, and random question topics...
There have plenty of good topics that aren't any of the above- Sal the Cat, drunken owl, lurkers lair, tech thread, werewolf, how's your weather, programming threads, movie threads, book threads, music, travel, dream threads...There are a lot of unofficial game threads, but...well, this is a gaming forum.
OP- I do agree, it's been rather quiet. NV forum has quieted down a bit, but I guess that's cause the game's not so new anymore, people are moving on. I used to spend all my time over in the NV forum, then Steam stopped me from being able to play NV, now I spend all my time here
