Meh.
There are VERY few people still around. Additionally, there are lacking communities. Most of the PCCB that replaced you all has left for their own board system, as has the Xbox Community boards. Both of those boards are now totally dead. For example, the last thread on the first page of the PCCB is 6 months old. There hasn't been a post on that board in 3 days. And the only posts are when non members come in and try to get technical help with something.
People seem to be gradually moving away from IGN.
That said, getting a month subscription to try and see if some people are back may not be a bad idea. I am only there because my subscription that I got for being a mod a while ago hasn't run out yet. They won't remod me, citing that they are having plenty of moderators already. Personally, I think it's bullshit. But oh well.
