It's not only me I have seen some other members are also thinking the same.

There could be other variables too like: people are bored now, they don't care enough spending time on searching for good posts, merit review topics are ending up in off-topics section (I have seen some members are upset about this because the topics are not receiving much traffic) etc. I am not literally saying that all these could be the valid variables, I could be completely wrong in my thinking.

PS: I edited the earlier post a bit (just to inform). I am off now to watch France v Argentina
