It's still alive, but goes through a lot of drama, especially surrounding Hasbro's toylines and how they are bad compared to Kenner's, and around _Jurassic World_, and debates on how good the sequels are. JPL actually had to ban _T. rex_ vs. _Spinosaurus_ debates because of the shitstorms they caused.","author":"50b70eeb7f123b1a02000097"},{"id":"534e3f4a636872145ea20300","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/534e3dd66368722698350200#post_534e3dd66368722698350200\r\nThere is a lot of drama about that too.

The question is what caused the massive population decline beforehand though.  Were they just impossible for the environment to maintain that many or was it volcanic activities changing the environment in ways they could no longer adapt to or was it cause of ris
