Yes, things have changed. But honestly, there are a lot of factors involved. As PedroH said, we're between seasons. There's not a lot of new Nerf stuff to talk about at the moment. Obviously that's seasonal.

Second, there aren't a lot of modders on the wiki right now. It's not a criticism, just an observation. As such, there are fewer conversations about upgrades, parts, suppliers, and techniques at this point in time. I try to stimulate those conversations as often as possible, but I notice I have fewer and fewer takers.

Collectors and "casual fans" don't contribute that frequently any more. Again, not a criticism, just pointing it out. There are a lot of  lurkers  readers that don't feel compelled to post. Whether they don't feel qualified to speak up, are shy, afraid of criticism, or just avoid conflict, they are increasingly silent. Bottom line, the wiki activity isn't necessarily a reflection of the overall interest in Nerf.

Boredom. Yup. Some folks just aren't interested any more. Some just age out. Others go on to college, find other interests, and don't return. Other Nerfers tire of the monotony of one reskin after another, and endless variants of variants. Let's face it, in spite of their tacticoolness, they all shoot 70 FPS. (Sorry to burst your bubble)

Let's also consider purchasing cycles. And baby boomlets. And disposable income trends, political correctness, sways in demographics, and changing views regarding violence - real, pretend, virtual and otherwise. It all plays a part.

Yes, the wiki activity is low at the moment. Have patience. Have some faith. Try some mods. Post some content. Watch it change.
