Re: SEIV dying?
One also has to consider that only a small fraction of the people who read these forums ever post. The most common estimates I've seen say that there are usually 10 lurkers per poster.
Then consider that the posters and lurkers together are only a fraction of the total that play SE IV. Shrapnel recently announced that SE IV had hit $500,000 in sales, which implies over 12,000 units sold, while the total registered members for all of the forums is still under 4,000 (AFAIK).

=== delurk ===
For me SEIV will be actively used as long as PBW exists. Oh and SEIV will die for me if SEV is released. 
=== lurk enabled ===
what was that fleeting glimpse?

LOL. Did no one consider this, if new ideas and interest truly dried up -- the new Version, SE5 would add all new things to play with and mod. |

Re: SEIV dying?
I think these forums are on overdrive. I ususally check 2x a day and i've usually got 25 or so unreads each time. I used to check once a day and only see 5 new Messages (that was april of 2002 i think).
SE4 will never die. Although the strategies are becoming pretty set in stone these days, which is why we have total conVersion mods to mix it up. And things like SE4 by comittee.

Re: SEIV dying?
Here's a better anecdote for folks: Stars!
The thing was written for Windows 3.11 ... and it still has an active community, including a newsgroup and "AutoHost" (akin to PBW, but not as nice looking, nor as useful in general).
And Stars! isn't even moddable!!
