[QUOTE="Ept, post: 352495, member: 3601"] Yes. This is true of the entire retro community. When I first got into the scene, it was like a damn renaissance: development and new releases were booming. There was competition between various emulators, and there was a constant desire to replicate Habbo in its entirety (v26 to R63). I think Project Rev was the last major development in the community that had any sort of excitement surrounding it. The people who had passion developing for the retro scene grew older, went to college, and are undoubtedly working on better things. Habbo itself has seen a massive drop in users. While I've been out of the scene for a while, and also inactive in the community, I don't think the retro scene is attractive enough for anyone to join. With that being said, personally, I will always appreciate what retros have done for me, as they led to me writing my first line of code and sparked an interest in computer science that wouldn't exist without them.
