Actually, what has happened is that many regulars have seen all the common
discussion threads and quit posting to this group.  Many games have
developed their own internal mailing lists and web-sites which attract their
regulars.  I like the Middle Earth PBM game run by GSI (individual/team
military/economic game with 25 players).  You can get more info about it at
various web sites, such as: http://www.gamesystems.com/
http://www.geocities.com/timessquare/battlefield/3722/midearth2.html

There are some message boards in those web sites that get a fair amount of
traffic.

I suspect lots of other games have set up similar systems, which is why game
related traffic on rec.games.pbm may be dropping.
