I get the impression that activity level is low. Are there very many diehards still around? I’m enjoying practicing with bot games. Interested in moving on to humans.

Reasonably active?

It depends what you view as "active". I am currently in four ongoing games with actual humans in them.

Excellent! Reasonably active is good. Is the mentorship still going? I submitted the form.

Seems like there is a good deal of activity still here. From what I gather it's not as much as it used to be (I can't verify that as I've only been here a short while), but you can consistently start and fill up a game within a week.

I concur with what previous responses said, it is at least relatively active, I currently have 5 games going on, you can find a good number of open games, people are filling games (including chaos games), you may have some trouble filling a large stakes game but for a low stakes game you there is a good bit of activity.

What is the status of this "find old posts and reply to them" trend?

Hard to say at the moment. I'll reply to this post in two year's time and let you know
