Sadly it's been like it for a over a year now.
There is however a lot of activity on the
Sonic Games Facebook Site. Plenty of free competitions and Andrew frequents it on a regular basis. You don't need a facebook account unless you want to contribute to discussion.
Not personally a big fan of the facebook format but it may be a good platform for getting this forum started again.
It might help to make the general forum open to everyone, not just Isis owners, so at least people can see what its all about before they subscribe to the adventure. i.e. like it was in the old days.
