It was removed a long time ago after a few people "harvested" e-mail addresses and other data and spammed a lot of garbage. I think BRL probably decided it was safer not to have a generated one and it didn't really serve a vital purpose.
As for the communinity being killed off: They had a very vibrant community but with many diverse interests now they have a much smaller but tightly focused and enforced set of discussions now. I can only assume that's what BRL wanted and while we might disagree with their viewpoint it is their site.
I think a lot of people have moved on from Blitz and as the site no longer tollerates talking about other interests have moved on altogether. I think a lot of people, (like me) probably check back every now and then, dropping in the occasional post or certainly reading a few before moving on again.
