I haven't been playing tf2 or been on steam much at all the last 6ish months so I can't comment from that perspective but I still frequent tftv forums a lot and it's seems so quite. I remember I used to be able to hop on to tftv everyday and read or post on some really interesting threads, now it's just the same 5 or 6 mega threads being bumped and some shitty ask reddit type question, or so it seems. Maybe i'm wrong and my memory of what tftv was/is is skewed, or maybe theres been a drop in overall users of the site.
What happened??

I think with the implementation and subsequent updating of matchmaking, everyone is sort of in a "preparation" phase where rather than trying to bend the envelope of the scene, we're just observing what valve is doing and discussing it. And since valve moves so slow, discussion appropriately doesn't tend to dwell beyond "how does mmr work". I'm sure drops in activity contribute to the sterilization of discussion as well, but ultimately there's just one thing people want to talk about and that results in echoed sentiments.
