I think it's been actually slower, but the content of posts has gone up I think, so it doesn't really feel like it's taken that big a hit. Most people are probably playing games given all the threads for them.

It's been a bit slower, yes. Lots of places I use have been slower this year for some reason. I think kissu was too fast for my own tastes around Nov/Dec, however.
As always, one person can single-handedly make it faster by posting threads or good replies which others will respond to which will in turn have an exponential effect on activity.
