so things have been looking pretty bad lately ive had to sit and watch zone after zone get infested with cancer and die. the development forums for ss died about a year ago, and have literally not received a single post for 2 months. the development team for the biggest zone is now dead, and is led by someone actively driving away developers. 3 large ssc hosts have shut down in the last year. mavericks statistics pages have the death of this game slated for some time in 2016: and thats just with a continued linear decay, which is extremely unlikely. personally, i expect an inverse exponential decay near the end, when people start quitting because noones playing, meaning the game could die as early as the end of 2014 if noone does anything about it. so whats going to happen? anyone doing anything to delay the inevitable somehow? any plans? also, tiny thumbnails are tiny
