Nah, it isn't exactly dead, I would just say dormant at the time. I
guess that's because the lego castle releases have lagged recently,
and space, well you know...

Hmm...couldn't agree much more than that, to tell you the truth, I
can't stand it when someone refers to any HP sets as castle. They're more
of their own range, IMO.

I've noticed the severe drop in posts recently. I think over the past
few months, changes have steadily been setting in, probably due to
a higher interest in sci-fi creations and their flexability (not
saying castle isn't flexable, just that there's more to space than
meets the eye)

Noticed I haven't seem a post from any one of them in a while (or maybe
that's because I wasn't really watching .castle recently.

Hey, change happens, and I guess history has a lot to do with
that too. I remember watching this show on TV about this ancient
civilization that mastered the art of metal smithing, and then they
just completely disappeared, with few traces after new civilizations
sprouted elsewhere. Maybe the same thing is going on with space and
mecha killing out the castle forums. There seems to be a lot of interest
in either Star Wars or Sci-Fi Gundam Wing styled creations right now.
Maybe the drop in castle postings can also be attributed to the rising cost of
castle related elements (have you checked ebay or bricklink lately?) I
would say, given some time that things will fall back into place once
again (don't forget, it's the school year so people won't be posting as much.)
