Eh, out of the options I know, this place is still the best.
Most other forums I know of are flat out called dead, Reddit is over moderated and meh, while Twitter is nothing but bots, porn bots and South Asian scammer/grifter accounts.
So yeah, I'd recommend this place to people. It isn't dead, Moderation won't execute you on the spot for wrong think and you aren't going to meet a bot.

Having been here for almost 3 months, I can say that some days already feel boring or slow. There are a few threadmakers who consistently churn out threads so often that you would think they were plants. Those members help keep this place alive with their topics.
It's a cozy spot to discuss OP, and I don't think it's overly toxic. There's much worse out there. I'm not sure I would recommend it to anyone since the appeal of forums is dated to many. These days, people tend to prefer instant chat.

For 6 year old forum with no plugin update , admin has gone complete mia i think its amazing it dragged so far .
The userbase is getting older , the new generation preferably dont read One piece . So its slow death in process . Other than Spoilers and that Mafia section nothing much happens .
Eitherway i think its ok for now i feel they should rotate new mods if they plan to bring new activity . I just feel old user base are moving on in life .

It's normal. It's not that the serie is getting bad. It's that the series is ending.
Mechanically, one by one, all the setups that have been layed all over the series are getting payed off. And the more we advance, the easier it will be for the community to predict the story. To the point where looking at a theory will be considered as a spoiler (i've stopped watching theories a long time ago because of that)
It's actually a good sign that people make less theories. I was very scared around Zou when I saw the multiplication of videos about each details of One Piece. I was scared that people would get overhelmed and expect too much for the ending when in reality it would grow in an inevitable predictability.
After all, if we take the lords of the Rings as reference, we are at a point where the battle of Gondor is about to happen. There is no more room left for amazing and crazy twists. Things are wrapping up.

Yeah.. because of what I've been screaming for more an entire decade now:
If people don't find a way to manage their expectation, they won't make the difference between what they theorized and what they wanted. And so, they won't approach theorizing as a discipline, but as an confirmation bias.
Did you ever see me being mad at Oda for not bringing Carrot in the crew despite being the one who kept on theorizing about her recrutment ?
Nah. I was aware that my theory.. was just a theory. In fact despite the laughs that I got here, I tried my hardest to debunk my own theory multiple times. Which is why I was so surprised that it was proven wrong. I still believe that Oda must let Carrot go to the sea for coherency with her character, but that's all. The surprise was the cake and I welcomed it with open arms. It made me learn a lot about the story, even years after, I'm still learning from this failure to predict her recrutment. And I loved theorizing it.
But people usually tend to seek a win. They want to be right more than they want to understand the story.. so they get nothing for theorizing. It's sad, but that's how the fanbase is. The excitment of the new created the illusion of a great era of theories and understanding of the story. But it was just a warzone and too few theories really had backbones & logical structures. It was a game of guesses and agendas.
Theorizing now risk spoiling a lot to people so you will see less and less people looking at them and less and less people making them. On top of that, a large part of the fanbase accumulated disapointment and hatred because of the lost expectations and the lack of care for what the story was actually telling..
That's why you will see less and less theories until they completely disappear.

Why not?
Depends on the person too
If they are "omg gear 5 so cool" "oDa is Goda" "One piss is the best" probably not. They can go to other places where they suck off the author and get their brains blown by Kozuki Moriah reveal but if they are interested in some shit posting and vs battles then come over.
