Yes, many users may stop using the forums, but the newer users will probably slowly begin to take their place in the community. As more people are discovering Cave Story, whether that be on PC, 3DS, or even the Switch, more users slowly begin to populate here. This community probably won't die any time soon. Yes, there will be the occasional long span of inactivity, but eventually everything will be running as usual. At least, that's my take on it. Although, this place does seem to get slower by the minute...
