Replying to Where did everyone go?

Maybe this is just a stupid question but i recently started trying to be more active again and i noticed how theirs a lot less people online when i log on compared to three or four years ago. Just less people in the off season?? I had an account when i was 14 and use to post everyday and there was so many people always. Sadly i lost that account and couldn't find it so i gave up and then made this account, on the bright side i no longer have any of the cringey 14 year old me posts on my profile anymore however it sucks losing all of the karma and other stuff.
Pretty much since ive been gone im wondering what has happened on the sight apart from the obvious? last time i was super active was probably the 15/16 season.
