Anyone else notice that they RARELY ever comment or answer questions anymore?

The forum has also been broken, so the admin/mod tag on threads and orange text hasn’t been functional.
But it's not because Miike left - the vocal presence of the mods was declining way before that.
The mods used to interact a lot more; used to literally be introduced to us on the forums. They used to chat, even if it was just to congratulate people announcing their pulls or making Uncollected/Thronebreaker/Paragon.
The old mods who worked that way left, and they were replaced with a much quieter presence that appears to purely moderate, and not interact - interactions were limited to Miike and Jax; and now just Jax, as community manager (plus Crashed, who isn't actually a mod, and I think he's a Dev who just checks in sometimes, on his own time. Nice to have his input, though...).
The increasing presence of forum guardians has been notable during the same period that moderators have become more withdrawn.
It seems to have been an intentional shift.

I don't think Jax is gonna be speaking to us much after the tounge lashing he got in the thread complaining about the lackluster 4th July sales fort Paragons this year 💀
Forums did become less interactive the past few years, but it was always nice to have a place to go where you knew you could find an answer or (most times) get a response.

Jax is worn thin. It's literally just him as the sole MOD and CM. Crashed is awesome but it's not his official role. So instead of claiming things are on the decline, maybe stop and think about everything that's happening behind the scenes until they can level out duties and such.
