I would say that any slow down in activity here in this forum has to be, at least partially, a result of the difficulty new registrants (new blood) have in becoming registered.

As an owner of a site, I know how annoying spambot registering can be. But in this day and age of instant registration using stuff like Facebook or Twitter accounts, the days of good old fashioned "enter your info" registration is doomed to die a slow death.

But that issue is compounded by having to actually send an email, then wait several days for your credentials. It's going to kill any chance for bringing new life to these forums.

Just an opinion.

But hey, at least the article comments should see an uptick.
