The board is not so much dying down as it is calming down. There are fewer new people to ask the new-people-type questions. After a certain point it is harder and harder to come up with new questions worth asking. The site therefore slows down. I personally don't mind as I would rather have 5 quality posts a month then 500 "how do I meditate" posts a month. Not knocking the new folk, everyone has been there at least once, but in the years I have been here I have noticed people tend to stop looking after they reach the point where easy answers vanish. That means the forum gets a lot of simple questions and not a lot of hard ones. People can find easy answers most anywhere, let SMF be where they can find the hard ones.
Naturally, you may do as you wish, but just be careful who you send to us. Vagrant Dreamer has already prophesize a rash of 12th degree summoners trying to banish their demon uncles.

--------------------
Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion.... We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything.... The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light. This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.
-Sage Vasishtha
