I'd be willin' to bet it's just school. New semester/classes start this time of the year, so kids are too busy getting assignments worked out. Same thing with the college folks, learning there class schedules. If kids failed last semester, pretty sure there parents banned them from computer use until they bring there grades up.

Same thing, year in; year out.

a lot of kids have got a new game for xmas, they just fool around with it untill they complete it (unless it's a suck game like WOW that never ends), then they'll come back again and play a real game.

My MH servers are always busy and I'd be willing to help you test whatever you release for MH. Hang in there man. MH isn't dying its called evolving because of people like yourself who want to make it better.
