overbearing "proper decorum" would be the death of vibrancy for the site
I agree that this has been having an effect in the forums, but I seriously doubt that is having any effect on download counts. It looks quiet around here because alot of things that happen in the forums now takes place behind the scenes. Yahoo IM, Skype, MSN, IRC, etc. is where alot of action takes place. 

handful of us have tried to keep it going, but it's an uphill battle when the majority stays away in droves
I don't believe they are staying away in droves. It's summer now, and it has always been quieter in the summer months. Many are out mowing the lawn, playing in the sandbox with the kids, having BBQ's. It's just too nice out there! Things will pick up in the colder months.

new site grade: C
We just need to give them more time to get things in working order. I'm sure they are busting their butts to get it running right, but these things can take some time. It's up to us to make this place better by telling them what does not work, and giving them time to fix it.

disappearance of a lot of people who were fixtures here
Yup, and now WE are the fixtures. I have noticed alot of new faces making comments on my skins, more than before. Instead of regretting that people have left, we should be encouraging and helping the new people who are just getting to know us. It's up to US to make this place better if we don't like what we see.

It also maybe that the popularity of customizing your desktop just isn't as important as it has been.

Hush yo mouf'!!

Rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated.  I'm here . . just  . .  quiet.

I've been around a long time.  And the site cycles and people leave and new people take their place and it's always shifting.

I've heard it said that you can never step into the same river twice.  The water is different even though the river is the same.  WC is like that.  But without the water and with skinning . . and it's digital.

Stay, go, come back, whatever.  WC will be here.  (And until I get a life . . I'll be here too. )

Okay, if making suggestions is allowed, Island Dogs posted a thread about a Beginning of Summer Skin Contest.  https://forums.wincustomize.com/381675

The contest is open to all skins available on WinCustomize.  That should make alot of folks happy. 

Now for starters the community can support the contest as best we can.  I'm talking about the skinners participating with entering skins and non skinners, well, I think I will offer ID some help with making the prizes a little better.

Okay, any other ideas?

It is faster....waaaay faster.... most of the time, and once all the bugs are worked out, I think I am going to like it more than the old site.

(still would prefer something other than blue though)

Still here. Although currently out of town.....

I don't believe they are staying away in droves. It's summer now, and it has always been quieter in the summer months.

I tend to agree although the same can be said for for site updates.
