The main users of Off-Topic are teenagers.
It was never supposed to grow extremely popular, at least that's what I think.
At COVID was the Lichess prime. There were a record-breaking amount of games and players, the same with teams and forums.
We are now in the post-COVID, where people have moved on or check/play Lichess way less. Most people here are extreme veterans, new veterans or new accounts, but the new accounts will join the rarely check/play stage after a few weeks. Also, some veterans left.
Wanting Off-Topic to be active is not possible if no big advancements are made, for example, another worldwide pandemic.

It's just rather inconvenient that the Walrus will likely have to travel, to show these two powerhouses what a clean diet and exercise can do

To war mongers you can add muppets, puritans, haters, misogynists and racists. The list can go on... They're not even trying to hide in the shadow anymore.

I miss the golden times of Forum during COVID-19.
@bfchessguy defends the walrus. It's a noble quest: much like playing 1 e4 ?!.
Noble, but mistaken. Like 1 e4 ?!.
It's the hippo who rules. Odd looking but powerful and unexpected when it appears out of nowhere to CRUSH cheeky white openings.
Sometimes.
Less often than I would like. But sometimes.
