Actually it does.

World of Pageantry has 6,989 active users.

2,733 users have never posted. (39.1%)
2,953 users have posted at least once, but less than 10 times. (42.3%; cumulative 81.4% less than 10 times)
1,039 users have posted at least 10, but less than 100 times. (14.9%; cumulative 96.2% less than 100 times)

264 users have posted 100 or more times (3.8% of the membership). There are 183,586 posts on WOP, and this 3.8% has posted the majority of it.

Sure, we've lost users; with the rise of twitter and facebook, forums are pretty much a dying breed. But many (most?) of the regulars are still around. Just more sedentary.

I remember when the WOP banner kept on changing colors and we were trying to predict what color it would be next!

I think the loss of users also has to do with schools discouraging students to post online. such a shame, I met so many awesome people from different schools on here.
