But what is there, really, to talk about? The patch is out, there may not be a new one so future bug reports are pointless. It sounds like there won't be another one in the series, so no point speculating or producing 'wish-lists'. Posts about 'that great multiplayer battle I was in last night' are not that interesting for people who weren't there. It's only a game after all...
A forum works when there are new things to talk about, and at the moment that means the various mods people have put together. And that's probably the way it's going to stay.
