Roman,
I think it is just maybe quiet on the forum. In the background people just keep on playing. I have 5 games going on at the moment. Many times when one of them finishes either myself or my opponent challenges the other for a rematch. Therefore I play the same opponent regularly without having to post here to find a new opponent.
I think you must have a look at the number of games that have been reported in the last three months. That should be a good indicator on how quiet things are or how quiet it isn't, especially if you compare it to previous months. I haven't looked at it myself yet, so maybe it will surprise me as well.:rolleyes:

Edit : Hmmm, I had a look at the ladder. It seems that you are right. A lot less games played and reported this year vs last year. A lot of 1 and 2 games played players makes the numbers seem even better than what they were, but that also happened last year.
