Just a lull in the storm, likely.
Eeh, itโs cyclic, new users come in en masse, figure out that weโre still in the microbial stage and they donโt have a college-leval understanding of biology so the community isnโt as interesting, and we walk away with deceased activity and a few new lurkers. After a while some lurkers pop up and join the party, and something brings new light to us, say a famous youtuber or twitch streamer trys out the game, and the cycle starts over. All and all natural selection weeds out everyone but the cult followers given time.

Error 7000 : Wrong color input. Expected โgoldโ color on textual content of every post inclusively following the 7000th post.

Why not a community challenge hosted here and advertised on Discord/Reddit? It would bring new users to the forum and might boost activity with some lurkers.

The art competition has a dedicated channel on discord with a bot that auto posts all messages from here to there. So people on discord (unless they muted it) will have seen that going on, but it seems to be dying currently.
Eh, I feel like forums in general arenโt quite as popular as they once were in the past. Everyone typically favors direct messaging and chatrooms these days.
I personally wasnโt ever a forum socialite myself
Itโs a shame because itโs very time inefficient (at least I feel that way) to answer the same question, again and again. At least on the forums people seem to (at least part of the time) find threads were their ideas were already discussed.

then why you donโt link the forum thread where the question was discussed?
I do often link it, but it takes longer to find the right thread, and it seems people donโt join the forum even when I link, so then they later ask another question on discord that would have been answered on the forums.
then why donโt you start an Autoritian regime where if you ask something that has been already discussed you get banned? 
Stellaris shows that Authoritarianism is better then Egalitarianism, and we all know Stellaris is a realistic simulation of life.
What do the colours of the thread counts mean? Some of them are brown or orange, while others are blue. I tried looking online but to no avail.
Gah I hate my pfp so much.
Much better
Maybeโฆ The color indicates when the theard was made? Edit: the colors are random perphas
Wrong.
The colours are based on how many replies the thread have gotten. It used to be that threads with low number of posts was white, but now with the latest discourse update they seem to be blue. I think itโs based on the idea that โhotโ threads are red and โcoolโ threads are blue.
Butโฆ A thread with 12 posts had orange
I think it might be actually related to the amount of recent posts as I noticed some forum games are blue even with a lot of posts. If someone wants to know for sure, Iโm sure googling discourse thread post count colours will turn up something relevant.

It might be like to post ratio. i think when you hover over the number, it says โthis thread has a high like to post ratioโ
