I also wonder about it.
I remember Surapon have stated that he was very envolvidom with big projects at work, and so would have little time for shooting.
It seems that photography is a fun pastime, but does not increase the bank account of the people.

As for me, I watch a lot, and I am waiting with baited breath for word on 5DIV/X. I avoid the vapid interchanges but find it somewhat amusing when not too offensive.
It is picture taking time as noted.

It's likely Canon has been relatively boring since the release of the 6D (1DX2 has brought some excitement back).
I feel it by the tone of emails, social media interactions and just talking to people. The 5D4 can't come soon enough.

This site isn't strictly about rumors. I enjoy the technical advice, the opinion and information exhange, the photos. So there are things to discuss. In fact for me it's less about rumors and more of everything else.
I do not believe that Canon related "boredom" is the main reason for people staying away.

I was kind of surprised that the excitement about the 100-400mm II and the 35mm 1.4 II went flat so quick. The "anything shot with" threads petered out so fast.
Maybe bodies drive more chatter, maybe a general sourness gripping not only CR but the mood of many citizens in many countries, and, as some have kids, get more involved in taking pics rather than talking gear...
But it would be a good resolution to avoid silly spats and be sharing more advice and knowledge. I'm guilty. Lighting is one of my favorite topics, but I just check in to see what the latest products are, get into some truly ridiculous exchanges, and check out.
Actually a very thoughtful topic to start.
Cheers!

Conflict drives chatter. Lenses that are top quality and just plain work well? Boring. DPR says, "Our testing shows that Canon's EOS 80D features a sensor with greatly improved Raw dynamic range," not much talk about that, either...particularly compared to when there was prevoulsy such a (purportedly) huge gap in Canon performance.
But the 5DIV possibly lacking 4K when even an iPhone can shoot excellent 4K video?!? OMG, the world will end! That's worthy of discussion...

New to the site and can't say what the participation used to be but I find the site an incredible source of info and knowledge. I am a member of many internet forums, have to say, this one shows exceptional adult behavior and courtesy. Seems to me the participation level is almost perfect, gets the point across without being repetitive or posting just to get more posts.
Have been taking pictures for over 50 years both professionally and as a hobby. Started with a light meter and a Mamiya-6 bellows rangefinder film camera I got at a yard sale. Now I have a 70D, 24-70 LII 2.8. Very excited by talk of the D5 MarkIV? Will definitely buy it when available.
100-400 LII USM 4.5 is on my list too as well as a 1.4x tele-extender. With over 3000 guests on right now, I think you guys are doing a great job.

Welcome to the CR world. Sounds as if you've lived through the film world and beyond as I and many here have as well. That is a perspective which only contributes in positive ways to an understanding of the digital world, especially black and white tonality and contrast. Hope you like it here!

Praising products that work well, is very boring...
Discuss how important and necessary to push shadows for 5 stops, this is pure fun.
We will continue the fun of guessing when Canon goes bankrupt for failing to deliver the highest dynamic range in ISO100, and does not offer a mirrorless with leading performance among all manufacturers.

Its spring, and there is a ton of work to do. Its difficult to spend as much time on CR as I did during the Winter.
