Yup. Why do you think cyberpunk as a genre stopped being good after the late 90's? Because we're living in it now.
Also, to give my two cents. This site's as alive as it needs to be. I'd rather have a mostly-dead site with a quality post every week or so than to go sifting through the septic tank that is 4/v/ looking for something fun. Don't get me wrong, I wish there were more users here and that the site wouldn't be as slow, but sometimes you just have to accept what you have.
