I don't know if this subforum is dead but I remember the time I noticed it being the most active. There were a number of people trying to bring up their post count in order to be able to post on the VS thread. There were a large number of posts and mostly everyone else just complained about it.
There's a post count to be able to post in the VS thread.

I joined in 2010 at a beginning of a gradual decline and still found the forum to be amazingly active and social- and social in a way that is no longer the case (eg. people making LONG posts and involved discussions, and members sub-forum was always highly active).
I started to notice a sharp decline a few years later and people have dropped off ever since. The forum has been slow for about 3-4 years. I feel like an aging relic!
Thanks for the history lesson you senile old fart!

don't know about that. A lot of old timers are gone/much curtailed.
we just need another US election and things would get going again....
The Donald will win again because the Democrats will get arrogant again and trot out HRC or a similar turd.

What is the basis of their calculation? I'd like to understand how they distinguish democracies and "flawed democracies"... (why Japan, South Korea, Italy, Argentina or France are flawed democracies?
)
Also, the "authoritarian" regimes seem to confuse very different situations (e.g. Russia is not comparable to North Korea - at all - yet they are in the same category
)
