That is why i consider cross-community interaction the key solution. From what i have observed, the number of arena roleplayers as a whole has waned compared to the last decade, and the community is still in the process of condensing itself; before, there were enough people on a single website to support the arena section - now, those cliques need to establish stronger connections between eachother, as that no longer stands true for most places.

As that occurs, the aformentioned lack of activity will be redeemed - and currently, there are already steps being taken towards this. Give it some time, and i am sure that soon enough it will be attracting new blood on its own.
