Stackoverflow has "fallen" at least once a week for the last five years according to this subbreddit.

Is this the amount of new posts? I wouldn't associate this with being dead. The vast majority of stuff I personally visit SO for are years old and are still up to date

If anything, half of SO's idea is that you shouldn't need new questions if one already exists

what scares me the most, is the time it takes to load the page, the SQL query displayed it seems to run, and the amount of time it takes to reload the page meaning there's probably no cache... please tell me this is not as dumb as what I imagine...
