Did the sudden lack of players cause a stampede of posts on the forums about the game dying?

Or is no one bothering to log in because of all the doom and gloom posts on the forums?

I find myself less likely to log in, but I almost feel like I am more negative towards the state of the game because of all the forum posts and less so cause of the game itself... it's strange.

I mean if people just stopped playing, how are so many people still on the boards talking about how the game is now dead and empty?

Might just be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
