Eh, I feel like the site actually gotten more active, and the Kemono in Japan seem to be growing in popularity.
We Just lack a good place/center to have ongoing, but safe discussions.
Then again, with the furry community may have started to rot a second time, and the anti-furry are rising up in-respond, the furry community, at very least the old one as a whole, may be slowing down a bit. Perhaps that why people may talk about the Kemono stuff less, at least, on the public networks.
I do hear that if you want a good place for discussion, you can try to find some on twitters, but given the twitter's natures in itself, and some subset of western calling themselves Kemono, despite not resembling it enough, if not just plain western style, I am kinda reluctant to believe it.
