I haven't seen a slow down in posts. We average ~1,000 a day. But the past 2 days we've been above average with 1567 Friday and 1348 so far today. It is summer in the US so that does tend to slow the pace down a bit, but right now there are still 170 people online viewing.
Members come and go, but YT's been around almost 8 years now I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon.
