Yeah, come to think of it I do see a difference in the traffic at Siege-Mods... :P (sorry I couldn't resist).

As for siegetheday.org, the reverse is true: more traffic after S-M went down than before (by far). The GPGarage DS2 related traffic has decreased quite a bit, but that's to be expected on an official site after a patch that fixes most of the major bugs.

True, a lot of game players have probably left the community, but hopefully they will be back once some more mods start being released. I myself left and returned to DS a few times since it was released, and I expect that the same thing will happen with many community members. There's also the holiday gift season in a month which is surely going to bring in new blood.

In the middle of it all is modding DS2. We are in a strange limbo situation. The tools are out, but there isn't really a user friendly way for gamers to use them... (except for Elys' All Saves loader, which is not an ideal solution). biddle (at GPG) is working on something, and hopefully what he comes up with will be well received by the community (modders and mod users). I also think some DS2 modders might be holding on to their work until the distribution model / mod playing architecture is solidified.
