I wasn’t going to respond (The rest of the users have said it beautifully, I completely agree with @ZeroFall !) But I’d like to add a response to: > [@\_jupiter](#): > > I’ve been seeing less and less games with actual effort put into them. Which is a point that comes up so often, I’ve already responded to it: > [@Chatting Area! Have fun!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/chatting-area-have-fun/8740/4915): > > I like to respond to all the new topics every week or so, and November has been FLOODED with all sorts of new games and users. > I think whether or not someone thinks the forum is ‘dying’ is very much based on their perspective! It’s interesting that ever since the forum gained popularity, there have been people saying it’s “dying”; In reality, the forum has only grown-- but users get busy, and because they don’t seek out new games, they think there aren’t any. But have you seen the amazing amount of games posted to new topics every day? Have you played the most recent [Coder King 5](https://forum.makecode.com/t/coder-king-5-end-of-an-era/37293) games? (They were some of the highest quality games I’ve seen this year!) Have you SEEN the talent in the [Heist Jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-heist-jam/39591) just last week!? You are fair to leave, and you will be missed very much here, but if this is one of your reasons, I encourage you to give the new games a chance 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.makecode.com/t/a-departing-message-jdev/40659)._
