The community is migrating because there is so much competition and a plethora of alternative and often better game dev solutions outside of blitz products to fit every pocket.
Plenty of API's or tool and editor based development platforms out there to choose from when 5/6 years ago there was only really B3D and Torque.
Plus the forums don't really lend themselves to socializing and team building so no real sense of community, just individuals that don't know if they share any common interests or incentives to work together. There isn't really much to attract non coders here like artists and musicians so about 95% of people here are coders. Just isn't much incentive for people not interested in programming.
Bit rubbish really. Without some way for people to get to know one another your not really promoting any kind of community spirit. Sometimes wonder if this place will still exist in 5 years time.
