I'm still around, too. I have also noticed that it's a lot quieter. I don't think the removal of the shout box and the decline in postings is entirely coincidental; lots of people seemed to come mainly to chat there. Perhaps they were peeved when their toy was taken away from them. LDW do also seem to have split their energies between the Facebook page and the forums, which means that the forums are quieter. I suspect a lot of people who use mobile phones with LDW apps on them find it easier to navigate the Facebook page, so don't come here. A lot of LDW's time at the moment is of course devoted to porting apps to the iOS and Android OS.
There is a box to the left of every page with the Facebook announcements and one to the right with Arthur's tweets.
I must say that some indication of progress in the "mystery game" would be welcomed, and serve to reassure everyone that LDW isn't dying out.
